Hi, Can anyone recommend how to remove the brown stain from my shower tray in the attached picture? I have tried bleach&lots of scrubbing as well as salt and lemon juice, both with no visible effect. Thanks

Hi, Any idea what model / part number the trickle vent in the attached is? One upvc window in the house I moved into has its exterior trickle vent missing (second attachment) and I am trying to find a replacement that matches the trickle vents in all the other windows of the house. Thanks

Hi, in the house I just moved in I have a combi boiler Ideal Logic ES35 (flow rate at 35C temp rise 14.5 l/min and specific rate of 16.9 l/min). Water coming out of the upstairs bath shower mixer (attached) is *very* slow, to the point that I can't really have a shower or even wash the foam...

Hi, I cannot seem to work out why the PIR of the Timeguard flood light I have in the house I just moved into is not working. Timeguard advises that PIR would not work if live was connected to L1 rather than L but wiring seems ok. See pics attached of part number, recommended wiring and actual...

Hi, See pic attached of the basin in the house I just purchased. The previous owner confirmed he only had slow drain but no blockage like this and was advised by his plumber to just use some Mr Muscle fron time to time. I applied a bottle of Mr Muscle and still the basin takes more than 1 day...

Hi, I see some damp patches on the garage inside walls in the house I recently purchased. See picture. It has been raining quite a lot lately and maybe the garage door in the pic is causing some of the patches, but some patches are a bit too far from that door for the door to be the cause of...

Hi, In the new home I moved into I have realized that one spur socket does not work. Looking into it, it turns out that spur socket has its wiring chopped off in the main socket the spur socket was meant to be connected to (why would someone do that, having gone through the pain of getting a...

Hi, I am replacing some old 2-way light switches (first pic attached) with new 2-way light switches (second pic attached). I am slightly confused about terminal 1 in the new switch being close to "L" (i.e. common), given that the layout of the old switch is different. Also, the wiring diagram...

Hi, I have just moved into a new house, where the previous owners had a very basic conservatory with 2 double sockets in it. I am removing the conservatory and converting one of the 2 double sockets to an external IP66 socket. The other double socket is though redundant, given its location...

I have recently bought a house and found out this strange BT socket arrangement/wiring (at least from me). The BT wires come from the outside world from the left wall in the image attached. This wire then goes into a rectangular box (a sort of splitter) which creates 2 wires, one going to the...
