I discovered a small leak inside on a ceiling next to the wall where the gutter is. Got someone to look at it and they showed me that there’s a hole in the gutter (hopefully you can see it on the right corner area). It was clearly leaking water when they tested it. I’m also showing a photo of...

Any thoughts on the best way to get Multipanel shower panels off the walls with minimal damage? The walls will then be tiled, so trying to do as neat a job as possible!

I had a boiler installed (first floor) and the external pipe leaked onto the wall outside, making my downstair's neighbour's bedroom wall damp. It was a low level leak but continuous through the thin pipe for a few days before we realised. The interior wall was damp for days before drying out...

I'm getting quartz worktops and fittijh a Brita integrated tap. It'll be one large single sit-on sink. Is it better to fit the tap to a hole in the quartz (behind sink) or directly to the sink itself via a taphole? Will one be easier to deal with if the tap needs refitting? Or to change...

We need to replace our outdoor toilet door (now being used for storage in our garden). Most of the quotes have been for a framed, ledged and braced door but the last person suggested a plywood exterior fire door with a weather drip fitted at the bottom to stop it rotting (which was a problem...

We have an outdoor toilet door that needs replacing. It is a bit of an odd size, 1981mm by 711mm wide (it's also 28mm thick whereas most seem to be 44mm now). The standard doors near to this width are 762mm but only allow around 20mm of trimming. Do we also take into consideration the door...

Hi We have some damaged window frames which a surveyor said we could repair with mastic, but didn't give more info. The damage is mainly where the paint on the frames (wood, possibly original Victorian) has peeled away. The windows are UPVC. Any suggestions as to the type of mastic to...

We have bought a Samsung induction hob and the installation guide says we need to install an insulation panel between the oven and hob. I called Samsung to find out what this panel is and they said they would have to check with their specialist team as they didn't have further information as our...

We are getting our kitchen diner redone in our Victoria terrace house. I've had two builders come and quote. The first builder was happy to replaster the walls in the dining part but the second builder said that was unnecessary as there will be movement and cracks over time as the house is so...

We are getting our kitchen diner redone in our Victoria terrace house. I've had two builders come and quote. I asked for a tiled floor and the first one was happy to do it. The second said I should steer clear of tiling on old Victorian floorboards due to movement over time which will make them...
