I have a small amount of mould in the bay window area on the wall in the corner by the window going up. I have noticed this morning because a small amount of water has been dripping and leaking down from the roof of the bay area of the window which I think is due to the driving heavy rain we...

My lightbulb in the bathroom light socket keeps flickering and dying. It has happened to a few bulbs now. It doesn't happen in the living room with the same type of light fixtures (as frequently). Can anyone advise what the issue might be that always causes the light bulbs to flicker and die...

Hi. Does anyone know where I find those indoor door draft excluders for the sides of doors/door arches that are sort of a black felt type material and they are fairly thin in depth? Got some foam draught excluders in the past but they're not very durable so was wanting to get the proper felt...

Just wondered if anyone can tell me if you can just connect a solar panel via a grid tie-in inverter to your electric supply or is it not possible to simply do this with all electric meters? Do you need to have a new meter installed to have a grid tie-in solar panel? The meter I have I...

I've recently moved into a new flat and could do with getting an extractor fan put in as there isn't one at present in the bathroom just a vent above the shower which isn't very effective. Opening window & having heating on doesn't work too well in trying to get rid of steam from shower or bath...

That sounds an interesting solution but if it doesn't have on and off's, my heating definietly wont come on outside of those times will it or if there is a fault with the device? Because I believe I would then need to leave the danfoss which would still be there in permanent on position for this...

Hello. I need a new 7 day programmer to replace my Danfoss 103. I am not totally understanding what kind I need to replace it with. Do I need to chose one that has the same number of wires? That is the part I don't get. I don't understand what the difference is between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 wire...

I've got a really old inside door were the door handle broke and I need to get a new one. Do door handles come with different types of fittings or are they all standard? The metal bar I would need to screw a new handle onto seems to be about ¼" in size with a groove in it. It was a rubbish...

I have a question I was wondering if anyone could help answer. I have one of those big bulky portable air conditioning units, mainly because I don't have my own place at the moment I just rent and that's why I didn't go with a wall unit. Unfortunately it has one of those small 5 litre...

I don't know very much about plumbing etc but I just wondered if there are any solutions to increase water pressure so that a jacuzzi shower will work using all its showerheads in an old victorian house? Thanks John

How do you drill the bottom of a window pane when the bulk of your drill means you can only drill an inch or two from the bottom because of this? Is there any way round it or any tool you can use to get it done instead? Cheers John
