I currently own a chalet bungalow which is primarily concrete and standard red bricks. Unfortunately the front of the house has some weird bricks that are pretty ugly. From inside the garage you can see that the bricks have nothing behind them, and they're only a couple of inches thick so I'm...

Hi there, I recently had my gas engineer install my Rangemaster cooker, and figured I would do the electric connection myself since the old oven was also electric and I could just change the connection in the switch on the wall. The old wire went behind the plasterboard/tiles and the cable...

I've just moved into a new house and I'm in the middle of having central heating fitted. The plumber has laid the pipes very low. My father in law just came around and said that we'll struggle to get the carpets changed (which we are planning on doing very soon). Do these look too low? Am...

I recently moved into a two bedroom chalet bungalow, and discovered that our north facing spare room has a massive mould problem. We don't have central heating yet and the room is next to the bathroom, so it gets quite cold and presumably damp. Our windows do not lock open and we shower...

In my garage there is a waste pipe going into the soil stack, and I'd like to connect my washing machine there. Am I going to get raw sewage backing up into the machine? Presumably I need to get some kind of U bend pipe. I found this on Wickes: http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/431915...

After weighing up options for a new shower for months and getting fed up with sticky conditionery hair, I've decided I'm just going to get a mixer shower and be happy. It's bound to be 10x better than our crappy Triton electric shower. Mira showers seem to look quite nice so I've been looking...

I have a combi boiler and an electric shower. There's never enough pressure in the mornings for the electric shower to work properly so we end up being frustrated and annoyed. Standing in a cold shower with no pressure isn't the best start to the day :) So we want to change things. The...

I've recently run out of space with mine and my girlfriend's hoards taking over the place, so I want to board up the loft for storage. Once it's done, I'd like to be able to use the loft for a trainset as well. It doesn't have to be entirely habitable; nobody will be living up there. But I do...

I've just moved into a house which has a brand new Triton shower from Wickes, but it hardly ever works properly. When it does work properly, the water is very hot and the pressure is great. But that has only happened 3 times since I've moved in. The rest of the time the shower is either cold...
