I have a garage that was built into the soil. On two sides the soil covers nearly all the wall. On the other it covers 50% of the wall. There is some dampness on the walls and I want to eradicate as much as I can for as cheap as I can (so I can put units on the wall to hold tools). Is there a...

I have an old Glowworm combi gas boiler. When I use the hot tap in the upstair bathroom, I loose water from my central heating system. I have filled up the system with water up to 1.5 bar. I then bleed the rads and re-pressurise the system to 1.5 bar again. This seem to be fine, but as soon...

As the title says, will any new PIR work on my Concept alarm system. The old ones still work, but they are all discoloured and yellow. I have redecorated the house and want nice new white ones. The PIRs are hard wired, not the wireless type. Also in the hall (the only PIR I cant disarm), is...

I am trying to level my garden. I lifted a patio with brick surround. I got rid of the bricks in a skip but now I am left with about a third of the garden raised about 10 inches, this is a mixture of soil and hardcore stones. Is there an easier way to level this than just pure sweat and blood...

I have a crusader TD. The seal on the drier has come off and is really hard to get it to stay on. There is no clips or screws holding the seal on. Why wont it go back on, no matter how hard I force it in to the grove it wont stay. When it was in at first it was really hard to pull off. The...
