    What's fallen off my roof and what do I need to repair it?

    A chunk of render (?) fell off the side of the roof on my single storey extension last week. See attached pics. How should I approach fixing this? It looks like I should be able to just trowel something back on after maybe brushing loose material away. I'm trying to avoid buying a sack of...

    Hanging bookshelves off plasterboard with no battening

    This is a 13 year old house where there are no battens in between the plasterboard walls. From reading around here and elsewhere it looks like it could be poor/cheap construction techniques. I've not seen the property yet or measured anything but the stud finder finds no studs and drilling...

    Before I take apart my AEG oko_Lavamat, I'm wondering if there is a (fairly) reliable way to know whether it will need a bearing replaced or some other work with the counterweight. I've not opened it up yet so not sure what I'll find, but as they say "forewarned stops you buying the wrong...

    Two rubbish toilets inherited

    Hi, I moved house recently and the two toilets I have inherited from the previous owners are, frankly, a bit pants. They can barely flush a piece of toilet paper let alone my son's irregular emissions, and both of them leak water down the back of the pan for a long time after each flush...
