Thanks, I ended up stuffing a dishcloth into the overfill and had a go with the plunger a bit and it seems to have improved the drainage a fair bit but it's clear there's bad gaps in the seal as the pressure was forcing a lot of water out the washer so now just waiting for the replacement one to...

Thanks how do I plug the washing machine and dishwasher connections? Do I take off the pipes and is there some kind of screw caps or plugs you can but to go over the connections?

The neighbours mentioned they had sink drainage issues recently, I wonder if it's something further down the pipes - we have an access hatch in our garden. Do you think it would be worth taking a look? The sink makes a gurgking noise when it clears a lot of water so maybe there's air trapped or...

Thanks that's the one I was thinking of too I did clean the u-bend too and ran thr tap when it was back together and gave it a plunge too but still slow to drain

I'm getting a leak from our kitchen sink which seems to be coming from the edges where the basket meets the basin I tool everything apart and cleared it all of gunk and put it back together but the seal where the basket meets the basin is on the large side and very thick and hard, there...

I think its a bit of a problem area as Her room is at the top of the stairs, so I think it gets a bit from the front door even though we have a porch and draught excluders and is also in line with the loft hatch on the landing, of which I've put insulation, space tape and weatherstrip to try and...

Thanks, no we have solid brick and we had the outside fitted with 35 or 50mm insulation and silicone render We are going to try moving the room layout around to move the bed away from the wall and see if I can get the radiator cover off Ideally I would like to move the radiator as I think...

Thanks! When installing, should it be stacked high to the top and fill the whole space or should i leave a gap near the top - just worried about damp, mould, moisture etc. I took the kickboard off and there was a crazy amount of cold draught coming through. It was just concrete behind it and...

Rock wool appears quite expensive, would this be suitable as an alternative...

Our daughters room is always cold and draughty - its the 2nd smallest bedroom in the house, pretty much a box room which was previously a bathroom but when we re-done the house we had it changed to a bedroom. Despite insisting on keeping the radiator in that room under the window, I lost in the...

Thanks, I just didn't want to create a nice little cosy home for them during the winter that might invite them in

Hi, getting a lot of draughts coming from under the kickboards of our kitchen cabinets - was hoping to stop this and was looking at different options- Rockwool - to stuff the void with, I've read it can be used by mice to nest in or allow moisture to collect and cause damp, mould and rot issues...

I ended up just switching to Vodafone as they have a deal on at the moment where you can get 500mbps, with their WIFI-7 Ultra Hub and boosters for £38 a month... if I can use their boosters and have ethernet cables run out to them then that's as good as ethernet cable and switches right? And...

Thanks, I've got one of these already but its got ethernet ports on it too so you can connect by cable. I'm now getting about 70mbps with ethernet cable coming off the EE WIFI extender. What kind of speeds are you getting with those WIFI ones you posted

Hello all... sorry if this is the wrong place for this but my fibre broadband contract is up and I was considering switching provider for a cheaper per month contract. Currently I'm with EE with a 500mbps plan who are quite expensive and I'm paying an extra £10 per month to add their WIFI-7...

What's the best insulation to put in voids around cabin doors like shown in the picture attached? Feel drafts coming in the winter I'm sure is coming from gaps like these... normally there's a trim that covers this gap, it must do some job keeping the wind out as there were some nice big false...

Hello, doing some repairs and painting garden cabin - one side of the cabin gets weathered a lot as takes the brunt of the sun so I've re painted with an oil based paint Had to take the fascia boards off the eaves as they were cracked and getting a lot of moisture in, have patched and...

Took off the wood boarding off the eaves as it was a bit rotten and repaired it, but there was some kind of adhesive sealant - it looked like a thick glue strip with perhaps some foam attached to the lip of the wood boarding and provided a seal against the felt roof tiles... it had rotted away a...

That's just the old paint sanded back a bit I think by myself

Our builder came over to look at the cabin, be questioned why the cabin company had finished the cabin in a water based finish instead of oil Hes suggested repainting all with oil as it lasts longer with less upkeep required Is there any reason why not to use oil? Builder also said we should...
