To give you some insight I am 72 Female not in good health. I purchased 2 Oak Veneered Doors and after several months found someone at last to Hang them. Ideally if it had been possible I would have preferred to have had these up on a table lying flat to apply the chosen finish before adding...

I have decided to do this myself as I have been unable to get someone. No negative comments please I am over 70 and have Vertigo and Crooked Fingers so jobs are a struggle. Can anyone advise on how I could attach a box covering to the wall? I am hoping not to have to use Brackets as for me it...

I have an Aluminium Folding Table. The Top has warped and Buckled. It is made of Hardboard(?). I have attempted to soak it with water at the back, turn over and put a very heavy concrete ornament on the Front. I left it for a week and the result was OK but it has now lifted again. I am thinking...

I have a Worcester Greenstar. This is my first time attempting to Back Fill as the Boiler is 18 mths old. I am able to insert the Key with the arrow to the left under the open lock symbol. I hear the key 'click' in but when I try to turn to the locked position/symbol the Key just keeps turning...

Hi, I think I need a Scientist for this; twice after leaving a tin can on top of my (oiled) Worktops I have been left with a ring mark which I cannot get off. The tins were both clean and dry. What is causing a reaction to the metal to make it do this?

Does the bath need to be removed to get to, remove and replace mixer taps?

Me again lol ! These pics are of the top of my Sideboard which is Oak. Recommendations please on what I can use to restore it? Hoping to do this with one product as opposed to Staining then having to Varnish. Thanks !

Can anyone offer any advice on how to clean stains from a Solid Wood worktop? Also, would it be advisable to apply a sealant of some sort to prevent future staining? I appreciate they are supposed to be a natural Wood finish but I am really regretting Buying these. Having them replaced is not an...

Hi, Back again I'm afraid. Following 3 previous return visits the plumber came and this time changed the warped Donut Seal for a Rubber one. Everything has been OK for two weeks but now there is water under the Cistern again. Do you think there could be a problem with the Bolt fittings? Would it...

My outside Drain gets lots of Dirt clogging it up. It is on a slight downward slope. The Drain cover does not fit properly and has had to be cut because of the two pipes. I'm thinking of very fine mesh fitted somehow?

My property is a Bungalow with a concrete Bathroom Floor. A few weeks ago I noticed water around the Toilet Bowl (on the floor). This pooling has now spread. All water pressure to the Bath and Sink Taps are ok, no drop. Regarding the Toilet, it fills up quickly but if I flush it with the Cistern...

Hello I'm back . So I have bought a Digital to Analog Audio Converter which is all set up and working fine, problem is even though I have turned the sound down to Zero on the TV, the sound coming through on the Headphones is too loud! Any quick remedies to this please?

Any recommendations out there for a set of Wireless Headphones and are there any which will allow the TV sound to be off while feeding sound to the Headphones? Does that make sense? May be a silly question but I'm asking because I don't know. Thanks

Since having my Heating and Hot Water system renewed/changed my Toilet is taking 2 flushes to clear. The old system was a Hot Water Boiler with Cylinder Tank. Now I have a Combi ? Can this problem be rectified or improved?

If my two grandaughters try to call my Landline from both their Landlines or Mobiles they get the message "please enter the 4 digit conference code" ( or something very similar). They do not get any ringing tone. When my daughter calls me no problem. When I call my Landline from my Mobile I also...

I need to buy one of these before the Plumber turns up Wednesday. Can anyone tell me if these type of plugs are suitable to fit onto a traditional ubend or have I got to get anything else? And what's the difference between slotted and un slotted? Thanks

Is it ok to turn off the water feed into the house (need to for another job). If I do this should I shut down/turn power off to the Combi? Also am I likely to cause a problem or airlock when starting it up again?

Hi, Having made a few enquiries on having a new Bathroom I have been told by one Guy that the boxed in Stench pipe which is full length next to the Toilet and goes out of roof, must stay. However during another visit/quotation the guy said it that although it cannot be totally removed it could...

Have removed Kitchen sink but water still dripping even though stopcocks fully off. Have capped off pipes but water still finding its way out. As it is likely to be a couple of weeks before job can be completed (due to late delivery of parts) is there anything I can do other than turn off main...

Following the removal of a Hot Water Cylinder from a cupboard which involved the removal of two electrical connections to the Hot Water Switch and the Boiler Timer I now find that two Double Sockets in the Kitchen are now not working. Question is, would there have been a connection between these...
