Hi All, Any ideas how to have grass growing in our new home. I’m new to gardening and this looks like a huge job. Thanks.

Hi, I am installing a shower holder to acrylic and was wondering what type of plugs I would need. I tried drilling a 6mm hole but the acrylic is splitting and when tapping the plug in, the acrylic is splitting around the edges. Thanks.

Hi All, I have my washing machine connected to the pipes under the sink, however there is a pipe on the right, which leaks water when I wash the dishes. Does this need some sort of cap? I feel like it was fitted for two appliances however I only have a washing machine. Thanks.

Hi, I recently hired a builder to assemble a PAX wardrobe, and he suggested using No More Nails adhesive to attach pieces of wood to my plasterboard wall. These were intended to act as anchors that I could drill into to stop the wardrobe from tipping forward. After applying the adhesive, we...

Hi All, This is the only realistic place we can hang our shows and coats but I’m a little worried about it falling forwards. Any ideas on how I could stop that from happening. Thanks

If I know the shower screen will fit I don’t mind paying £100 - £200 to fit it. Wife hates curtains but won’t install it unless I know for sure it will fit and stay on.

Landlord refused to install a shower screen, he said have a shower curtain or fit it yourself but don’t screw into panel unless you know it will hold. Is there any way I can tell.

Hi All, I hope you’re doing well! I’m planning to get a new washing machine installed and just wanted to double-check that I have all the correct connections in place. I’ve attached pictures for reference. If anyone could confirm or let me know if I’m missing something, I’d greatly appreciate...

I’m looking for advice on installing a bath screen. My landlord has given me permission to install one, but I need something lightweight and fixed. A swinging screen isn’t an option as it would hit the sink, which overhangs the bath. The wall behind the bath has acrylic panels, and I’m not sure...

Decided to go for a simple shade instead

Hi Everyone, We’ve just moved into a rental property, and the house has wall lights installed throughout. I’d like to replace them with ceiling lights for better lighting and aesthetics. I’m assuming I’ll need the landlord’s permission before making any changes, but in the meantime, can anyone...

Good news, landlord is sending round an electrician to fit another socket, thank you everyone.

Hi everyone, I’m considering getting a Bosch washing machine with the i-DOS automatic detergent dosing system, and I wanted to ask for your advice. I’ve been looking at models like the WGG244ZCGB and WGG244FCGB, and I’m particularly interested in how well the i-DOS system works in real life...

I am still waiting for the Landlord to reply, worst case scenario can I use an extension lead for a heat pump dryer? Thanks

The left hand space has a hole and a power supply in the gap but the right side gap has nothing. I am waiting for the LL now.

No way to get to that plug socket, ideally I wanted a Heat pump dryer fitted into that space and then plugged in. I know this is a brand new kitchen that has been fitted.

Hi everyone, I’ve just moved into my first rental and noticed there’s no way to plug in the dishwasher or dryer in the space provided without drilling a hole. I’m unsure what the best approach is here—should I ask the landlord to install an additional socket or request permission to drill a...

basically there is no pressure coming out of that shower, nothing like the shower we currently have. so we were looking to get something like a power shower that had a lot more pressure.

Hi All, We are looking at renting a place and the only issue is the shower. We have a family of four and wanted to fit a better one. How much would it cost roughly to upgrade this to a thermostatic mixer shower providing the landlord agrees? There is a new combo boiler recently fitted to the...

Hi All. We are looking to move into our first rental and there are two spaces that have been left we wanted a washing machine and a separate dryer but worried that those copper pipes would be an issue to either appliance. Should the landlord be covering these before we fit any appliances...
