Thanks everyone. I fitted the trap successfully, and the washing machine hose into it - I've ran two cycles today and there were no leaks on the second run (first run had a small dribble, I repositioned the hose (pushed it further) tightened the hose clip more)

Many thanks for your responses. I'm pretty sure the first link will do fine, I just need to find someone that stocks it now (I checked ScrewFix website but couldn't find the exact same one, unless I'm being thick!) Going by that picture on the McAlpine website, does it matter which one the...

Hi all TGIF! Firstly, apologies for the post - my DIY skills are very basic so please bear with me, even if it seems obvious! I've recently taken delivery of a brand new tumble dryer (we've just had a gap where the previous owner had installed one for the past decade) and before installing I...

Thanks for that, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for all your help guys, I wasn't expecting such a swift response. Much appreciated. (y)

Does this mean any Drayton TRV would fit, or am I looking for a specific model? Thanks

Evening all. A couple of the TRV valves in my home have, over the past few months, had the plastic head come apart. I was hoping I could attach any TRV head, but that doesn't appear to be the case. The one I tried was equivalent to a very low setting, even when turned to max - the radiator was...

I managed to get one more quote, from a local company registered with Trustmark as a FMB Masterbond Member/NRWB member (click link for further info) as follows: To erect staging platform to the side of the property, next to the valley area To strip out tiles to valley area and stack ready...

Both above quotes are from companies who are members of both NFRC and Trustmark. I'm also getting another quote from another local NFRC/Trustmark member and another quote from a local company that is a member of Trustmark, FMB and NRWB This whole thing is definitely a complete mindfield for...

Sorry it has taken a while to get some more photos uploaded, but I needed a combination of fair weather, plus daylight, to take the outdoor photos. Here are the photos: The first couple of photos show the valley where my part of the semi detached house joins onto the neighbours (it is in...

Here are some photos, tried uploading them earlier but the site kept crashing, and even now was extremely slow. You can just about make out in the second photo that one of the laths is quite dark brown, because it was quite wet. On the black bit that is hanging down (that has...

Hi A couple of summers ago I had a lot of work done to my main roof (all laths replaced, soffits/fascias/guttering replaced, broken tiles replaced) as a result of an investigation into a very minor leak. It turns out that I managed to hire a cowboy to do the job (plus other work). That builder...

Finally managed to get some photos, but also now realise I was a bit hasty in blaming the roofer for this new (second) leak. The roofer only did the flat roof above the kitchen extension, and from what I gather because the felt wasn't tucked in correctly, and in conjunction with the type of lead...

Hi Bit of a long description but please bear with me. Around 18 months ago we decided to do the first major bit of work on our newly bought house. The flat roof we knew (from the surveyor's report) needed re-doing, so I asked my dad if he knew anyone and he got details of someone from a friend...
