Hi, Next door to us is a development of 4 new houses. They are replacing the side boundary fencing and we asked about whether they could do a bit extra at the end of the Garden. There is an old, straggling privet hedge about 8 ft high and 9 metres wide. Our neighbour has said we can go...

Hi, They have built new houses next door to my property and doing the hard surfacing. A guy was using a plate vibrator next to my house. The problem is that we have travertine in our kitchen. My wife noticed hairline cracks, about 2 metres long. This was after the use of the plate...

Hi, Found my shower not working this morning. The external fuse switch outside the bathroom was red hot the other day so guessing it is something to do with this. HOWEVER.... I'm not sure which fuse in the fusebox is for the shower so obviously don't want to open up the switch to have a...

Hi, I have a megaflow (approx 18 months old). When the heating comes on to heat up the hot water I've noticed the overflow pipe leaking water (not loads, but more than a few drips). This pipe is connected to a 'T&P Valve. It only does it when the boiler is on to heat up the water...

Hi, I've never noticed this before .... We had our boiler serviced today, and the engineer mentioned that gas flow was dipping below 19. The British Gas person came around and replaced the regulator. He then reset the boiler. I've noticed that when the heating is on the display flashes...

Hi, the interior nob for deadlocking the door fell off (kids!). It seemd ok until we got back after being out. The door has deadlocked itself. I was able to get access via back door. There is now a small hole where the deadlock knob used to go in. How can I 'un' deadlock the lock...
