    Electric Towel Rail help

    We have a dog who sleeps in the room and it is fairly cold, we will probably have it on overnight or at least for a few hours before we go to bed on a night to take the chill out of the room for the dog.

    Shower head rail/arm on tiles/plasterboard

    Hello. I will get right to it. We had our bathroom done about 7 or 8 years ago. The rail/arm that holds the shower head above our bath has come loose at the top and is essentially hanging purely by the lugs of the rawlplug. Infact you can see the rawlplug. It wobbles all over when trying to...

    Leaking under sink waste pipe

    @Madrab i followed your instructions (see links to pictures) the difference between the pictures and the final fix was i moved the rubber washer further back on the grow pipe rather than right on the end. Previous attempts to fix have resulted in a drip after about 10 minutes, i did this 10...

    Leaking under sink waste pipe

    I have just been mucking about with this and it seems like the fitting can easily be pulled off the grey pipe without even loosening the screw fitting thats meant to hold it in place.

    Damp/Condensation Bottom corner of room

    Hi when it rains it lays on the path there is no guttering as it's a flat/straight gable end. The slat from the dpc isn't part of an extension no its part of the original structure but it looks like a previous owner filled in a window on that corner. There was a lean too shed on the side which I...

    Hi no potential source of water either side of the wall. It is the side of my house/gable end and it is basically just an side path down the side of my house. The floor is wood. I will tape some plastic to the wall and see if any condensation forms on the plastic and which side. I have...

    Damp/Condensation Bottom corner of room

    One thing that puzzles me about this is that the cavity insulation was installed over a year ago now and the corner in question has shown no sign of condensation build up since and it only started once we emptied the room and painted etc. I didn't discover the holes until around...
