I want to replace the bath thingy. Not sure what it's official name is but I'm talking about the chrome strainer where the plug itself sits. Mine has a screw in the middle. It's it just a case of unscrewing that and replacing with a suitable sized new one. Or will the unscrewing cause the bit...

MY daughter is having problems with her dishwasher. There is a switch in the door which she switches to on (a light then comes on) but when she closes the door nothing happens, I presume she's done everything else right. Btw - will these dishwashers work if there is no salt in them?

I have got a large walk in cupboard off my living room in a tenement flat. The cupboard has a light switch and a light!! It doesn't work and the reason I'm told, when I had the electrics check, is that it has been disconnected from the plug socket it was wired into. This was because of current...

I have a relatively new fuse box that has a switch on it that keeps tripping when the washing machine is put on. This didn't happen 2 days ago. The switch that is tripping has "RCD Protected. Total load not to exceed rated current". I've tried switching loads of things off but it's still...

I live in a block of flats and my water pressure seems non existant. When I first turn on tap it starts to come out fairly rapid and then within seconds is just a dribble.

I've just moved into my flat and the boiler didn't work. It turned out that the main fuse had blown. My problem is what fuse wire should I use. The actual fuse is 20amp (old yellow dot) but it had a sticker over saying boiler and vent (fan) so I'm guessing that 20 amp is not correct. The...

Can someone tell me why my boiler has an intermittent problem with the hot water. It did it last weekend - I had a look at it did nothing besides take the front off and havd a look and it's worked since then. The boiler itself has a themostat on it - I'm not sure if this is redeundant or...
