Hi, can anyone help identify the issue of the whirring noise, from reading up a little I assume it may be likely the drum bearing, Motor, belt or wheel bearings? It's a Candy Condenser Dryer - Model: GCC 590NB I'm guessing all could make a certain noise if faulty but hopefully this noise is...

Hi, I'm just after a little advice on how best to fill a chase I have a bag of Thistle one coat gypsum plaster, I have never used that before though I assume as it's called 'one coat' therefore I should be ok to finish, just I read it can be more difficult? I have used finishing plaster...

I had planned to paint/paper the living room this weekend, I knew there were some patches on the wall and had brought some zinsser a couple weeks ago ready for the job but on sanding i'm uncertain if that will solve the issue, particularly the bit to the right of the fireplace? (Photos in next...

Hi, Can this be plastered straight onto brick/plastic Conduit or does it need a render first, if so what is the mix ratio. I have a new SDS drill and it was a bit of a learning curve (even on half power the wall was like butter, surprised me a little) ended up with a crack which I attempted...

Hi, I want to know how i can fill the gap in pictures, would it be cement or a sand and cement mix, if so what ratio? Thanks This is the back garden wall, it's basically the back of my shed though the other 3 walls are not attached, i believe it was caused by plants forcing through, i have cut...

Hi, I brought a second hand Wood door for my Shed, It was listed as solid wood and i too believed it was as it is so heavy, I started cutting it and I have hit metal, so I cut a cross section to see what it was. From the pics can anybody tell me if this is likely to run all the way through the...

Hi, A good while back our garden was really overgrown for a year or two but now we have young children we have been attempting to get on top of it without having a great deal of gardening knowledge. There has always been a rose bush at the bottom of the garden, I originally thought this had got...

Hi any help or advice is greatly appreciated as I'm not sure how to mix or apply render. I had a couple of Windows fitted almost 2 years ago and when he'd done he said the render needs replacing, I wasn't sure if he just meant around the windows or the front of the house in general, I guess the...

Hello All I have just had a new radiator replaced due to rust and a leak, since then I have bled all other rads and to be fair most of the radiators are getting very hot, in fact i had a thermostat fitted to the new one as its in the back of the house and being closest to the boiler it has...

Hello All I have a Ravenheat Silver star boiler and I know it is considered a poor boiler, I have had a lot of problems with pressure and airlocks within the system over the years, most winters in fact I have to go over the system but once working and in regular use it seems fine. Now I have a...

Hi I know these boilers aren't great but I had a good run with mine, until now that is. When the hot tap or shower is on the boiler kicks in, often later than the 3 seconds stated in the handbook, it runs for 30-60 secs and then cuts out, it can then be about another 30-60 secs before it...
