Hey folks, Just wondering if anyone could suggest how I might remove/adjust the top of a kitchen unit? The top panel is directly in line with the little test ports for a gas combi boiler. The plumber can't get the probes into the test ports to test the gases, so will have to do something with...

Hey folks, Hopefully an easy one. Just wondering if anyone could point me to the type of cable I should get to replace the cable on a Bosch hedge trimmer? Is pretty flexible stuff and given 5 amp fuse, I take it it's not heavy duty. Could anyone recommend the right type? Thanks, Baps.

Hi folks, Just wondering if I could get a little advice before going down the wrong rabbithole. We have an Aqualisa Digital Visage shower, about 2.5 years old. Just in case it matters, it had a faulty power board/supply replaced about a year ago as it was not turning on on a warm day...

Hi there, Wondering if anyone would know what we can do about our front window? They're standard looking pvc windows with one panel that opens out on the right. There's a gap between that window that opens and the vertical bar at the end of the main pane. It's actually hard to see in the...

Hi folks, We've had some sporadic tripping of the RCD recently. Probably needs a little background in case that helps. About a year ago, RCD trips and wont reset. Disconnect appliances one at a time until RCD resets; offending appliance seems to be old cooker. Remove the cooker, everything...

Hi folks, Have had a problem with a power shower for some time. When we start the shower, it will occasionally start to whine in increasing volume and pitch until the flow stops. If we turn the temperature dial all the way to cold, the shower pump (I'm assuming) returns to its normal sound...

Hi folks, Excuse the newbie question, I'm sure this is pretty straightforward. Have a couple of areas in the house where the old paint is flaking. Problem is if I sand it, the paint continues to flake off until I have a large area of plaster and still flaky paint around the outside. Attached is...

Hi folks, Had a spark around recently and he was advising we replace the lighting in the kitchen. These are old round recessed lights with little transformers above. Transformers and bulbs have started to die, housing is looking rough, and he's suggesting replace them with LED alternatives that...

Hey folks, Gardening newbie here. Just got a new house that has a garden which hasn't been touched in years. Taken weeks to cut it all back, demolish rotten sheds, dig up old stumps and trees, bushes etc. Going to dig up that concrete path we found and old clothesline (if we can), and have...

Hi folks, Looking at moving a bathroom from downstairs to upstairs, and one of the main concerns I have is getting a decent shower. Have wasted thousands trying to get a decent shower in my current house over the years, and still have a temperamental crap shower, so a good shower would be...
