Hello. Had some electrical issues recently that involved a check of all the light fittings. Since the work was completed the hall lights haven't worked and I think it's caused by a wire dropping out of the socket when it was checked. Left is to the front door hall light switch. Right goes...

Hi.currently have a nightmare on our hands. Broken stopcock and shared mains so our neighbours have no water. Nobody wants to touch the work and we're waiting for news from our insurance company. I'd like to block the water supply to our house without depriving neighbours of water. Could a...

Hi. We have 5 light fittings downstairs. They are three bulb chandelier type in the living room and hall, four bulb in the dining room, a single bulb under the stairs and a three bulb IKEA one in the kitchen with low wattage (think they are led). When we have more than two bulbs in the dining...

Hi. I'm currently replacing a few ceiling lights in my house and all is well apart from the bathroom. The old set up was a complete mess and tangle of wires but foolishly I got rid of it all before photographing it as the new light fitting is different and I thought it wouldn't be...

Hi. Our upstairs toilet is blocked. If you do a short flush you're pretty much ok but a full flush eventually swamps the bowl. It is emptying after about 10 mins but seems to be getting worse. Sometimes the water level in the bowl is lower than it should be after it has drained...

Hi. We have a problem with our Worcester Junior 24i. It started making banging noises a couple of months ago then started cutting off. The hot water has always worked without a problem. For a while we were able to operate the heating so it warmed up the kitchen, dining room and...

Hi there. Recently our boiler started making noises that I thought was kettling...banging and crashing noticed when the dial was turned up or down. Although it's had a new circuit board fitted a few years ago and the pressure guage is broken, it's been plodding along ok. However it's...

Hi. We have a small room at the end of our landing with loft access that we use for the cat's bits and pieces. The loft light is connected in some way to the light in this room. Recently, the light has stopped working in there. It initially manifested itself as coming on, then going...

Hi there. We have gone to make tea tonight and found that the oven hadn't heated up. Everything else appears fine: The timer works The thermostat light comes on The main fan blows All seems as it should other than the heat! I'm guessing this means a new element but I want to be...

Hi. The overflow on our bath doesn't work properly. Water doesn't empty down it fast enough to stop the bath overflowing if forgotten about. Our water pressure is terrible and the bath takes about 20 minutes to fill to a reasonable level. We set timers but sometimes the lad forgets and we...

Hi. I need to directly connect a blue/white orange/white etc. phone line to an extension that has yellow, green, red and black. Is this possible and how do I match up? Have searched the internet to no avail. Thanks a lot.
