Just recently my dishwasher (Bosch) has started leaving random deposits of a brown, sticky goo on certain items in the dishwasher. The dishwasher is about 5 years old and still works a treat...no issues at all. Then about 2 weeks ago this started happening. It doesn't appear every time but...

I'm fitting a ReoLink security cam system at home and one of the cameras needs to be mounted on the wall, just under the rear upstairs window. The camera (PoE) is pre-wired with a female RJ45 socked, so I want to run a cat6 cable down the wall from the loft into a junction box on the wall, then...

My kitchen mixer tap (quarter turn, approx 5-6 years old) had a dripping cold tap so I've replaced the cartridge with a new one from Screwfix: https://www.screwfix.com/p/flomasta-1-2-bsp-quarter-turn-ceramic-tap-glands-pack/2611f Two issues...firstly, when the tap is fully off, the handle is...

I have an Intergas Xclusive 30 which was fitted a couple of years back, along with EvoHome. Generally I've been pretty pleased with the whole setup, but one thing I've noticed is that if there's a mild spell during winter, it feels like the rooms get a bit too hot/stuffy and I have to tweak...

Hi everyone I had an Intergas Xtreme 30 fitted last October and just this morning it stopped providing hot water. It's showing fault code F014 which the manual defines as "Mounting fault sensor S0. Heat exchanger sensor S0 is not mounted correctly. Mount the sensor correctly". Sod's law being...

I'm getting a new boiler fitted and installing EvoHome as well along with the wireless TRVs. The dining room radiator is not in the middle of the wall and consequently about 6-8 inches of the TRV end of the radiator is behind a cupboard. The pipes for the radiator come up through the...

I'm shortly going to be getting a new combi boiler fitted and one of the options the installer has offered is to fit a deareator. I'd never even heard of such a thing before but with Google's help I do at least have a vague idea what one does now. What I'm not sure about is whether it's a...

I'm in the market for a new boiler and after a great deal of research it looked like I'd got it down to one of two models - one is Vaillant and the other Baxi. I also need the ability to independently control different temps in different rooms, so had identified Honeywell EvoHome as the best...

I realise there are many, many threads online asking the same old "which boiler should I get" question, so I'm aware that I'm covering some rather well trodden ground here, but I was wondering if anyone could provide any personal experience (not just "I had a mate who reckoned this, that or the...

So I've just had a new bathroom fitted - all very nice and all that, but the water pressure in the sink, bath and shower is way down on what it was prior to fitting. Initially when I first turned the tap on upstairs (the refit was done whilst I was on holiday so this was my first use of it), the...

Hi everyone I have Cat6 cable running from my cable router downstairs to the study upstairs and I need to fit a mounting box at each end. The wall in the upstairs study is plaster on brick and there's a gap in the plaster just above the skirting board where the cable comes through: The...

I'm just wondering how to tile round an internal corner in terms of how to butt the tiles up to the wall. As they say, a picture says a thousand words, so should I go for A or B: And whichever option I go for, am I right in thinking that I'd need to caulk the join between the tiles that...

Hi everyone I'm something of a DIY dunce so I'm looking for a bit of guidance if poss. The kitchen needs tiling and there are patches of the old plaster that appear to have been of questionable quality and large chunks of it have crumbled off right to the brickwork. So the wall needs plastering...
