Here's a strange one. I've been decorating in the kitchen, and on Saturday morning I swapped over our old oven for a new one. The new oven is working well, but over on the other wall one of the sockets has stopped working. The socket was being used for the tumble dryer, and at first I thought...

Hi Everyone, Little bit of background.... We purchased our house 13 years ago, and negotiated a £10k discount due to an access issue regarding our garage. This wasn't long after we'd moved in, so we were lucky the builders didn't just say tough luck! The problem can't be shown on the photo...

Hi Everyone, We are having our upstairs en-suite done. It is well overdue, and at some point water has managed to seep through the cracks and wet the plasterboard behind. Also, we had terrible banging pipes behind the shower when the downstairs kitchen tap was on. I've ripped everything out...

What a weekend I've had!! Decided to paint the spare bedroom (our office basically) grey, and has turned into an utter nightmare. Basically the paint dries a different shade of grey dependant on what you use to put it on with. I did the tops of the skirting board, and just under the ceiling...

This is slowly driving me crazy!!!! We live in a 3 story house, with a megaflow tank on the top floor. There is an en-suite on the same floor which has been fine for 8 years but now for some reason makes a banging noise. The noise is coming from around the shower, and starts when the kitchen...

Hi All, What a week we've had!! Megaflow sprung a leak (9yrs into a 10yr warranty), boiler pcb failed (£250 from baxi!!) and now the plumber tells me the programmer has died. Thing is, I have a feeling it's not been connected correctly when the house was built. Shouldn't the cable going into...

Hi all, Here's the situation... We have an integrated double oven sat in our kitchen connected through a cooker outlet using 6mm T&E. Next to the cooker outlet is a double point which we have the gas hob and tumble dryer conencted. Unfortunately the tumble dryer has never sat flush...

Hi, Hope someone can give me a few pointers here. We have had issues with plumbing in this house ever since we moved in. The pressure keeps dropping to zero everyday. I have to keep topping it up but don't know why. I've checked for leaks and can't find any. No air in any radiators...

Hi all, Just wondering if some nice person would help me install a new electric oven. Just removed the old one (single electrolux) and wish to replace with a neff 1.5 oven. Here's a load of pics I have just taken as a photo speaks a thousand words. Extra info - I've read the...

We currently have a builder with us today bricking up our kitchen door. Just had a look and he has put thermalite blocks inside between the two plasterboard sides. The outside has been toothed in to the existing brickwork (just started on the outside now) but he has left the pvc frame in...

We purchased a new house in 2008 and wish to extend the kitchen units. The problem is they have put an outside door right in the middle of the main wall. We never use this door as the house is on a side plot and so leads onto a road. I know a house requires two main exits out of the...

This was posted in the electrical section but think it may be better here after reading some of the replies. How much is this going to cost me to fix :cry: :oops: Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it Yesterday I decided to have a go at installing four spotlights into our hallway...

:oops: Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it Yesterday I decided to have a go at installing four spotlights into our hallway ceiling. The plan was to replace the two existing lights and add an extra two. Thinking it was a good idea I went feet first and started drilling holes and...
