I want to replace my cooker's electric hob with a gas one. I also have a twin electric oven underneath. There is one main cooker switch on the wall and it seems to power off both the ovens and hob when switched. All of this appears to be connected to a 30amp fuse in the main board. I assume...

As it says above, I need two misted (between the panes) units replaced - the frames are fine (I'm not interested in all this 'repair/clean' stuff you see advertised) as I've read that it's easier and probably just as cheap to get replacements. What I want to know is, who is the best person to...

As the topic states, I have got Small scratches/hairline crack on my vanity unit handbasin. On closer inspection it looks as though that it's just scratches. Is there any products on the market that you can buy to remove these / paint over to remove them? :? Thanks.

As it says in the title above, I've changed the 'O' rings on my kitchen mixer tap as it was leaking - but it's still dripping. I've deduced that the cold tap is causing the problem as I've tured the cold supply off and there's no drip but, as soon as the cold supply is turned on again it starts...

I need to replace the washer on my cold tap but am unable to remove the shroud to gain access to the washer. There doesn't appear to be a grub screw or anything else that will let me remove the shroud/cover. See picture below for tap type. :?

One of my radiators will not change temperature when the TRV is turned down or up - it's always boiling hot - even at the minimum setting, thus the room is always like an oven !! I've taken it off (unscrewed it) and cleaned it i.e blew it and even hoovered it. Still to no avail. All my other...

I recently replaced a damaged door bar that sits between my kitchen and hallway - both laminate floors. When I took the old one off I had to clear the 'channel' out between the two pieces of floor as it was full of dust/old, hard, light brown looking glue etc. I have got the new 'ramp' door bar...

As it says in the title, the thread has gone on one of my table legs (it doesn't screw in anymore) - is there anything I can do to rectify this? Thanks in advance. :(

The tile immediately under the very end ridge tile on my roof is broken (snapped clean in two) I don't know how this has happened?!! Anyway, to repair it would would require the ridge tile to be uplifted and once the tile is replaced, then to re-seat the ridge tile. Is this a 'big job' and...

I received a letter a few days ago saying that my meter was due to be replaced in the next few weeks. Is it/would it be possible to have an isolator fitted by the guy when he does the work so I could isolate the supply for say, replacing my CU in future without having to 'pull the main fuse'...

I have now got planning permission / BCO etc. for a extending my kitchen. All I need to do now is choose a builder to carry out the work What is the best way to do this? 1) Use one of the FMB onesfrom their website? 2) Use a builder who has done good jobs on other peoples houses and where...

My Creda tumble dyer (ten years old) is tumbling ok but there is no hot air being produced - just cold. Therefore, the clothes aren't drying. Is this a case of the heating element having blown or, is it just that it's very old and has 'had it's day' ? :cry:

Hi, I'm wanting an extension built onto the rear of my house so as to increase my kitchen. What is the process for getting this done; i.e do I get planning permission, building permission sorted out first? where does the design part come into it and how do I go about choosing a builder to carry...

My Escort has started to make a knocking'rumbling noise at the front left wheel. This only happens when I go over slightly uneven surfaces and always when turning corners or going round roundabouts. It's fine on the straight roads. I checked the wheel and all the bolts seem to be on ok. I...

My Escort (1995) makes a loud knocking sound at the front right wheel when I turn right or left. It also makes it sometimes when I have just started the car and have began to accelerate away. It is ok on the straight. Could it be a bearing that's worn? Any ideas ? :?

Just had one of my bedrooms skimmed. Once the plaster has dried (I'm going to wait at least two weeks for this) how much should I thin the coat s of emulsion by and, how many coats should I give it before I put on the final colour ? Is it: 50% dilute for first coat 30% dilute...

No, don't laugh but, there is a strange smell (like rotten eggs/sulphur) that comes through my air vents when I start my Vauxhall Zafira Comfort (2002). It's just started to do this over the past few days. It is also due a service. It eventually dissipates after about five minutes but I...

My house sounds like a VERY loud foghorn when I turn on my cold bath tap. The pipes shake and even the floor - even the kids are terrified. This started about two weeks ago and has gradually got louder / worse. The only way to stop the noise is to turn on one of the other cold taps in the...

This may sound daft but can you still get punctures repaired and, if so, what is the rough cost? :oops: :? ============================ please see forum rule 9

My TV ariel has been blown over/down on my roof and I want to move it into the loft as it won't have to succumb to the high winds where I live (on the coast). 1)How easy is it to disconnect the coaxial from the ariel on the roof itself? 2) Is reconnecting the cable just the opposite of the...
