We have a flat roof that we can access via a door. We want to put washing out up there. There are walls we could attach poles too, but the bricks here are very poor, and the mortar is pretty much dust. So we are looking at alternatives. Could a rotary be installed in a concrete block, perhaps...

Hi. I'm having the bathroom redone and want to install a better shower. We have a basic mixer one and the pressure is quite poor. Our hot water is from a tank in the bathroom. I think it's a pressurised closed system. There is the main hot water tank with a backup immersion heater, and the...

I'm trying to find an elongated toilet, specifically one with a 470mm distance from the seat mounting holes to the front. Can you still get these in the UK? The only ones I have found are all discontinued, or only available overseas. Thanks.

I'm trying to find where water enters my property, with a view to fitting a descaling or softening device. I don't want to get into an argument about those, I'm just looking for the pipe where water comes in. I've looked: - Under the stairs. Gas and electricity, no water. - Under the kitchen...

My house needs a rewire, but it's incredibly messy and disruptive. It also has horrible woodchip wallpaper, and painted over wallpaper, and Artex, in a lot of places. Someone suggested fitting drywall over the existing walls, rather than trying to strip them back and re-plaster them. Sounds...

We have some large windows, I don't know what you call them but basically like this: They are south facing and let a lot of heat in during the summer. We are having them replaced and looking for good options to keep the heat out. They are a bit large for outside shutters, unless anyone knows...

Is is possible to have two light switches for one light, one of which turns it on full and one of which comes on dim? I've seen some wifi dimmer modules have provision for a simple on/off switch as well. Is there any kind of dumb non-wifi dimmer module like that, where I can just set the...

I'm looking at options to renovate a house where most of the walls are really bad. The plaster crumbles when you try to put nails in, and it's all been covered in woodchip wallpaper which has then been painted over several times. I'd like to get it nice and smooth. New skirting boards, maybe...
