for the last few days waste seems to be back feeding into my downstairs toilet bowl. It cleans and flushes quickly with no apparent problem but after a while some waste appears in the bowl again. Is this coming from the drain in the street? I was thinking a blockage outside but when flushed the...
I need to upgrade my smoke alarms as a result of the new legislation in Scotland. I live in a three bedroom end terrace house with hall stairs and upper landing. My Combi boiler is in the cupboard under the stairs.
My understanding is that I need linked alarms with one in the living room, one...
One side of my shower cubicle has a slight leak through the silicone sealant. This has also gunged up with a brown fungus. I need to clear it out to reseal it and I'm going to have a go at doing it myself. What's the best way to get the old sealant out? (See pictures)

I have sliding wardrobe doors in a bedroom that my wife wants changed. We've had them a few years. They're still OK but she's fed up with them.

L-shaped, it would be 7.3m x 1.9m with a gate in it and standard height, I don't know, about 1m?
How much is this likely to cost me?
