    Tap

    My cold tap in the kitchen drips constantly, also the tap can fully rotate past the normal 'off' position. I cant get in to check the washer as the valve release nut wont budge. Also, when applying downwards pressure to the tap, this stops the drip momentarily. Is this problem the washer...

    I was a bit younger and naive when i moved in, no family, no worries. I'm not an expert in any shape or form. Nobodys perfect. I actually got £100 back from British Gas just recently as i was in credit!

    Gas smell

    Sorry, IGT, Independent Gas Transporter. Turns out it's a mob called Independent Pipelines. The Transco guy never even entered the house, should he not have came in to check anything? The sheet/report that he gave me says that it's an 'internal pipework' problem, how would he have found that...

    Gas smell

    When i moved in 3 years ago (new build) there was a slight smell of gas. It went away/got used to the smell but when we have people round they always comment on the smell of gas. Phoned Transco today, their engineer came out but as it was an I.G.P.T site he could only make it safe. He has...

    Unusual smell

    Was it a mouse, was it electrics? No, it was the condensation pan under the fridge, soft cheesey looking stuff, not very much of it but it was a horrendous smell. Think a regular check and clean of this is in order. Anyone know what causes this and how to prevent it? Cheers for your...

    Unusual smell

    Hi folks, The last couple of days we have noticed an unusual smell in the kitchen. It is only apparent in the kitchen and it is a kind of cheesy smell. We have checked behind units, under cupboards etc and cant seem to trace anything, anything in the fridge which may have aroused suspicion...

    replacing internal doors

    Another thing if you dont mind. Are there doors available that are pre-finished and require no painting/staining etc? We're looking at the white moulded types.

    replacing internal doors

    Yip, changing the doors as well. I was planning to take a hinge with me and match them up, if that fails i may well opt to use the old ones.

    replacing internal doors

    The hinges are brass but we are changing them to chrome/silver to go match other fittings. So, would we able to use the old holes?

    replacing internal doors

    Hi folks, We are about to replace our internal doors which are just over 3 years old. Is it as easy as replacing the hinges with the same type of hinge and using the same holes? Sorry for being so naive but i'm a complete novice when it comes to things like this. Type of hinges...

    Indesit W133s leaks

    Apparently it's the 'Heater Anchor' which holds the heating element in the middle of the drum. That sound about right?
