Hi My washing machine pipe recently ruptered at the y splitter on the wall forcing me to isolate it and reconnect it. When I went to replace it but was struggling due to access and space so I did not refit it as was. My washing machine is a Hotpoint WD860 with both a hot and cold fill...

Thanks for the input. To be clear, the high resolution digital images of the front of the house show no crack at all - sorry to be rude but it has just failed. I use the word failed as its broke and any structural member that is broken is clearly not taking load ni the correct manner - again...

Hello, exactly 1 year after moving in to our terraced house in Glasgow, we've been unlucky in that the roof has leaked and last month we noticed that our main bay window lintol has failed. The house has a red (locharbrigg?) sandstone makeup. There is a vertical crack as the lintol adjoins the...

Does anyone know how accurately an aerial needs to point at a transmitter -.e.g. can it be done with a crude compass or does it need a specialist signal detection tool? Also, what difference does +/- 1m of height make to the signal... as I'm struggling to get reception from my new aerial...

Well done - have just had another look and yes, they are all blue (6 of) 15A rewireable fuses which must relate to the off peak storage heating that has since been removed. I cant however find the internal points very easily as I presume the house has been replastered. I will have to get under...

I've recently moved to a new house - thats built circa 1910. Its been what looks like to me rewired between what i'd guess as 15-5 years ago (prob closer to former) There are 2 consumer units in the lobby - not only is it highly unpleasant on the eye, I find it rather confusing. 1...

in answer to the original post.... If you could afford to, yes as thats what current good practise guidelines say. Do you legally have to No. Do thousands if not millions live in houses still supplied with water from lead pipes, I suspect so.
