Hi All! Wondering is anyone can offer some advice. My mother in law (not a joke) is 80+ years, and super bad legs and is 50% of the time in a wheel chair. She has a very hard time getting in and out of the shower because the shower is raised, her husband (also in to his 80s) helps her in...

Just recently our downstairs toilet is making the stranges noise every time it's flushed. It sounds like a horn, or am organ, it vibrates though the walls upstairs. The sounds only there when it's refilling, and it would seem (though I'm unsure) that running the tap helps. Any ideas what...

got it working!!!! Turns out one of the light connections had become loose, and look (to my unskilled eyes) that it broke the connection. Adjusted the wire and all is good! Cheers again all, you where all right, it was just me being crap :)

Still no go. Iv also plugged all reds into the left L (for both wall and ceiling) and the black into left L1 (so everything works from a single switch) and still only the ceilings light works. So I'm totally lost. Unless anyone's got any other ideas, I'll phone an electrician on Monday...

Cheers for the advice guys but I cannot get it to work. The ceiling light is fine, getting that to work is fine - it would seem the ceiling light is from the sleeved wire. As for the wall lights (the remaining red wire) I cannot get them to work at all. Off the top of my head though...

Cheers for the advice!! But now I'm even mo confused :) Would someone mind updating the image, or re writing down what wire goes where :) Cheers for your time, I really apresiate it!

Hi All, In my living room, i have some wall lights and a ceiling light. Iv just replaced all the wall lights and that went fine (all working) Then it came to changing my wall dimmer switch to a nice new standard two switch light switch. For the life of me I cannot get it...

We have a few Velux windows that the seal has gone on the pane - so, I'm looking to replace the glass, which is fine, Velux make this very easy. Currently thou theres a pretty big build up of condensation. But, due to laziness, it's taken it over a year to think about changing the glass...

oh, ok... two further questions... By sanding - given that theres quite a lot of wood, would you recomed a electric sander? And, what if (ill admit Im just thinking out loud) I wanted to remove the stain and re stain with a lighter stain? Good idea or bad idea?

Hi again (this is really becoming my come to website for issues and questions!) So, been living in this great house for a couple of years, and we have finally gotten around to talking about decoration and heres the problem... everything in my place - doors, windows, stair banister...

ah, ok.... Iv had a look, and we have a Honeywell valve/box thing. Could you confirm something... am I correct in thinking that when I only have the hot water this valve should do something? I notice theres a little notch/lever on the front - that I can adjust with my finger, when I do...

Could you explain that a little more... whats/where can I find the timer, and would a faulty timer still explain why we have hot water only when the heating is turned on? cheers!

Hi all, looking for some advice.. I had to drain my central heating system to change some valves on some rads - all went fine, the rads are all heating up fine after I refilled the system. But now heres the thing.... When I turn on hot water the boiler does nothing, and does not...

yes it was, but the leak is pretty mild, so it seems to have atleast half worked! we had to figure something out as the copper pipe has been cut too short (not by us i might add) Is there a way to extend the pipe easly?

quick question regarding the olive - As it was It is it was a lot of effort getting the olive over the copper pipe - by the looks of things the copper pipe was a little bent/deformed - In the end we did manage to get it on, but it was a pain in the rear. Assuming I empty the system on...
