Hello All, Happy New Year to you! I have a radiator with a slightly seeping air bleed valve (sorry if my terminology is incorrect, it's one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007JX6CVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Q2i.FbB2M1MZF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 ) It's nothing major, just want to fix before...

Hello All, I've never really opened the windows in the living room of my second floor flat - I'm usually out at work all day. Current situation means I have to. They are uPVC, with two inward-opening panes - big one and small one. I've noticed when I close them, the other sort of shudders a...

I bet there's a billion threads on this, sorry... I have a small room with 4 walls. Window (only source of light) is in wall A. The only door is directly opposite, wall B. Which direction should I paint ceiling ? My understanding was I should roll from A towards B, but in small sections at a...

Any help identifying the following noise from my boiler, please? Ignore the water, that's just my nearby kitchen tap. It sounds like an airplane. Happens about 30 seconds after running water from boiler when at rest. I have had British Gas out 4 times (Home Care) and they have replaced...

I have a tiled shower which is around 7 years old. When I rub my finger along the grout between the tiles, I get a white residue on my finger. I can't decide if this is efflorescence or some problem with the grout. I clean the shower twice daily with a rubber squeegee and Mr. Muscle shower...

First post here, so no doubt I have put it in the wrong forum! Apologies if so. I stupidly dropped my squeegey in the bath/shower the other day and have chipped the bath. I believe it's acrylic covered fiberglass (built in 2010). So annoyed with myself. Anyone have any experience with...
