Afternoon all. Hope I'm posting this in the correct place. When I moved into my gaff (mid terrace, built 1966) in 2009 I noticed that the paster looked shot at the bottom of a wall next to the chimney breast, and was coming away a bit. (See pic below) I didn't think too much of it, thought I'd...

Evening forum Just over 2 years ago I had a Wocester green star junior 24i boiler installed. It was a direct replacement for the old one so no moving pipes etc. I got a friends uncle to do it who've been in the trade over 40 years, all gas safe registered etc. All fine and working well so I...

I want to knock a window into an external cavity wall in my kitchen to let more light in as the only other window in there (looking out the back) is NE facing so the kitchen gets quite dark. I realised that there is actually a wall above the area that I want the window. The wall upstairs is...

Good morning. I'm new here and this is my first post. Yesterday I had a new electric oven installed. I understand they are a universal size and it fitted into the recess quite nicely. The installers tested all the electrics and hard wired the electric oven in, putting a new fuse socket into...
