I've got an a bath tap mixer handle that has gone loose. Unfortunately the supplier does not keep stock and I want to avoid changing the otherwise perfectly functioning mixer. Any suggestions as to how i could fix it? The teeth have gone and it won't grasp.

What's a water proofer? Any rest mixed products you can suggest?

I've found plenty of useful data at the suggested website but it does not give me the exact product i should use

Same here. I've been investigating online about this because I have had stains just above floor level. I realised the hearth was filled with earth, plus a thin layer of mortar.. it has been soaking the area. Also because behind the fireplaces once the breast is removed, the dpc is literally non...

Hi there, I've removed the plaster from parts of my wall and injected dryrods to stop rising damp. What plaster shall I use? It should be readily available in b&q or Wickes please add I need to do it asap.

I agree that bobasd should apologise for language and tone. Thanks for your suggestions, i might or not agree with technical suggestions etc but that's become irrelevant at this stage

I'm a bit reluctant to cap It with concrete add it will be a permanent cap. I'll deal it with pond lining... And put more gravel over it... So if i made a mistake i world be able to rectify

Guys, I'll post back on my progress tenb days from now. I'm off for a trip. Any suggestions about which plaster to use will be highly appreciated.

I have issues with damp and I've got roofers quoting to fix the roof, the stack etc and damp proofing companies quoting to remove plaster, inject the walls, add a membrane in the wall and then a new plaster. It's impossible to trust...

Evaporation is an extra parameter. If you have good ventilation, then evaporation works against rising damp. It reduces the maximum distance rising damp (diffusion length of you like) can achieve. In my case the distance between the pool of water to the surface was only 40cm. And there was no...

Go on. What suggestion?

Almost there with the filling process

I'm filling the hole with gravel but the gravel is wet so i move a bucket inside, wait until it dries and then throw it in the "well". I'll leave it open for another week or so whilst I'll be away for a trip. Once I'm back I'll add a plastic sheet and then more gravel, fill it completely flat...

a liquid, gas or any collection of particles would move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration by e.g. diffusion, even against energy barriers e.g. gravity. Stick one end of a shoe lace in water, and water would climb up the lace until a new balance is reached, e.g...

Plumber is someone i know personally so he does comes to do work for me on random days. There's no issue with pipes and leaks. Dpc goes in the mortar between brickwork. At least the one I'm using - that's in the official instructions. I know that mostly in the past they would inject the bricks...
