Can a HP tumble dryer be installed in a carpeted room or is it hard floor only as with vented and condensers?

I'm looking to replace this fire with a high efficiency gas fire. We believe there's a brick fireplace behind the drywall. The house is a dormer which has had a first floor added so there is a class 2 flue surrounded by brick at ground floor level. Then enclosed in drywall on the first floor...

I appear to have a gas flu but I was looking into getting a multi fuel stove. Given that a full installation with all materials would've cost me £3.2k when the engineer quoted me via text thinking we had an appropriate flue, I am wondering if it's actually worth investing in especially as the...

We have a group of kids who get picked up outside our house. Early teenage years. Every morning they're on our drive chasing each other round the car which has been scratched. I didn't see who did it and I don't have CCTV. I just heard the "owwwww and gigling and you scratched it no you did."...

Hi all What's the best way to strip down this old window (no lintel), and this old door on my garage. Need to paint and get another year or two out of them. Got loads of leftover Ducksback green from the fence panels but assuming this wouldn't be appropriate???

We have no RCD on our electrics - I imagine it's been this way since it was built in the 60s? What are the implications and what can I do to avoid a problem? I may move out but if I stay or rent it out I'm assuming a rewire is needed? Can anyone clarify and suggest any safety precautions? In...

Hi all We have HMs nesting below the apex. Can anyone see this being a major problem? I can deal with cleaning up the s****, but don't fancy a bug infestation. Have people left nests in after they've moved on or taken them down? There was about 20 circling yesterday around 10 am in the warm...

I have a driveway wall within my property boundary that is quite damaged on the neighbour-facing side with multiple blown bricks. It's not as bad on the side facing my place (last pic). I could still walk along it without it falling down but I wondered how urgently I needed to get it rebuilt...

Had a builder come and take a look at the bricks below DPC on my detached 60s suspended floor property. I asked if he thought it needed repointing and to quote the work if so. He recommended grinding back the bricks severs inches (if i remember rightly) and then attaching cut bricks. Can...

We have a leak in this spot after someone steam cleaned the conservatory roof. Is there anything it can seal this with from the inside until I can access it from the outside? It's happened on the exact same spot on the two spindle opener panels (one each side). All of the other panels without...

Anyone know where I can get a replacement? Any tips for fixing? Cheers.

Hi all Selling up within 12 months (hopefully sooner rather than later). Wall and a couple of house bricks got damaged in the previous bad winter and have subsequently been water-damaged too. Worse on neighbour's side. Had one guy look who said to just replace house bricks and do a bit of...

Any recommendations for covering this wall? It's 8m x 0.9 metre (WxH). Thought timbre cladding might be the cheapest and best looking option? The wall isn't straight though so that would make it slightly harder. Looks like they had wooden fence posts in before - could these be used again...

Kitchen tops are oak veneer. Best technique/product to renew them with? They seem to have been bleached by cleaning/sunlight.

Any recs for a cheap trimmer to tidy this tree up? Will need a pole as it's around 8ft.

Hi We have an intermittent leak on our conservatory roof after someone steam cleaned the inside of it. Is it likely to be a slipped polycarbonate panel or a damaged seal? It's only on the two panels with windows that open ... Any tips for diagnosing exactly where the leak is so I can focus...

Hi I have a retaining wall attached to my house which is badly frost damaged on my neighbours' side. Would you say that it is completely my responsibility or am I being reasonable in asking if they will contribute to repairs/replacement as it forms part of the boundary? Their gate is attached...

Hi can anyone tell me where I can replace this 90 degree 112mm sqaure guttering? Screwfix etc have 114 mm. Or should I get the gasket and try to fix the leaky part of this one?
