I have a flat with a small front hallway, so, what was the old front door is now an internal door. I have rubbed this down and it now looks good but I need to replace the glass in the panels (scratched and broken). It has been put in with putty. A colleague mentioned that I could just smash...

Hi I need to get the exterior stairs/steps between my flat and the one above either sealed or asphalted (they are leaking into my outside cupboard and making the hallway pretty grim). I've been trying to get quotes from a couple of builders but they either don't turn up, turn up but don't...

Hi I have a one bedroom basement falt in London (built around 1900s) which has a couple of damp 'issues'. The first, and most important, is that there is some damp in one of the bay windows. You can't actually see the damp, or smell or feel it, but it's there (we had a damp meter reading...

Hi I've not long moved into a new place which is fitted with a Jaguar boiler (I know they're not very good, but can't afford to get it replaced!). In the last few days I've had the latest in a line of problems. Basically the pilot light is ignighting then stops again. Then comes on again...

Hi I've just moved into a new flat which has a Jaguar combi boiler thing. It has an error message of F0 showing, which I think is to do with the system pressure being too low. I'm hoping it's not a leak. Does anyone know what else it could be, and how I sort it out. I'd like to avoid...
