If you're concerned about your ability to paint, I've heard about a ceiling white emulsion that rollers on pink and dries white, although have never looked it up or tried it. Might be worth some investigation? I personally use the Harris extendable ceiling roller and have had good results...

I contacted Taylor Wimpey not expecting a reply, but got one. When they replied I looked it up and found that it's made by Hunter - was just an interesting fact I found.

FYI guys - after consulting with my home builder it's actually Polypipe Victorian Ogee made by Hunter but weirdly not compatible - go figure....

It could be your fan, but there's something I need you to confirm... When you say that the fan stops but your computer is still on, do you mean that the fan never works or do you mean that when you experience a loss of signal it's only your fan that stops? What's most likely is that...

Yeah, signal meter should be green. Could you upload a few screenshots of your Windows desktop including when you have the Wifi config open?

Agree re: investing in a good quality Kitchen greaseproof paint - I did this and it's one of the best investments I made. Inevitably cooking will result in stuff getting on the paint and the Dulux stuff I used wipes clean no matter what's on it or how soon after it happens you notice. I opted...

[/url] This is sound advice. I had a similar issue with my ensuite - the walls were completely tiled and ventilation was poor - I open the window each time I use the shower as the extractor installed isn't close enough to the shower and left it open for at least a few hours afterwards. My...

Great - cheers for that!

You'd need to check the brick work under the rendering to make sure it's sound - the cracks could indicate movement underneath. Also, you'd need to make sure that you're totally safe when you try to tackle this - if it's just the gable end then you might get away with a ladder so long as...

Thanks both - much appreciated. Any idea how I establish the manufacturer? I've checked over the guttering that's fallen off and don't see a manufacturer written on it.

It wont cause the signal to drop, but it will certainly reduce the available bandwidth and make your connection slower.

I have exactly the same problem. Our downstairs toilet has an exterior wall and a wall into the garage and is easily the coldest room in the house!

The other thing to consider is that there's damage to the top of your chimney that you can't see from below. The water ingress looks pretty substantial and I'm not sure the cracks alone could be causing that, but I might be wrong. Agree with previous post around checking how the chimney...

Thanks, will give that a go.

I've only done one HDD partition and used Partition Commander. Sure, it isn't free, but I needed a reliable partition - was to install Linux for software for my Masters Thesis - so needed to make sure I got it right. If getting a reliable partition in place is important to you then I'd say it's...

Based on my experience (working for an ISP) if you can connect at all it's unlikely to be software related and is actually more likely to be one of a couple of things; 1. Your laptop is losing the signal and that's causing it to drop. You can verify whether this is the cause by checking the...

A small section of my guttering needs to be replaced following the high winds yesterday, and I've looked a few places to find the right guttering, but no luck so far. I've attached an image of the profile of the guttering: Hope you can help! Stephen

Hi folks - I'm not sure if this is the right area of the forum, but here goes... The MUPPETS (!) who were in my house before me decided to use this wood effect tape in the bathroom to cover part of the shower surround including over the wood under the shower door (inside and outside shower)...
