Hi.. I’ve just bought an air compressor on eBay and the connections aren’t as I expected.. I’ve been onto screwfix and completely confused myself now with sizes and what not…. I’ve put a picture of the connection on the compressor. Could anyone offer any guidance with what I need to get just to...

Hey there A pal of mine is currently painting his composite door and is having a bit of a nightmare. He’s sanded the door down, washed it down with sugar soap, primed (using exterior wood and metal primer from wilko), wet and dry sanded, primed again, wet and dry sanded again. Put one coat of...

Hi there I have a toilet that won’t stop filling and results in the water running out into the pan - like it’s constantly flushing. I seem to remember having a problem like this before on another toilet and it was the flush valve - I think. Could anyone tell me if this is the likely cause...

Hi there I have today discovered that the water feed going into our toilet is leaking. It looks to have been leaking for some time by the state of things too… I’ve attached some pictures - essentially, the pipe going into the rubber seems fixed, but I can move the pipe and rubber as a whole...

Hi there I have a 2019 Motorhome on a Fiat front. We have noticed a diesel leak and found the damage to the hose shown in the pictures. Could anyone tell me where I would find a replacement and how difficult is it to replace please? I’ve tracked it down the engine and under and see it goes into...

Hi there, I am looking to replace the screen on my HP Pavillion laptop. Several weeks ago one of my daughters used it and dropped it and has caused the screen to start flickering and flashing. The model is a 15-cw1507sa and its the touchscreen model. Can anyone point me in the direction of...

Hi there we have a push button flush on our toilet that keeps running.. a few taps of the button and it normally sorts itself out. I’ve taken the flush system out and have found that the sealing disc at the bottom sticks. I’ve watched a few videos online and some are saying that these systems...

Hi. I have a Veritas 8 alarm which after today is causing a hit of an issue. We’ve had a smart meter fitted today and during fitting they turned the power off. when turning it back on the alarm hasn’t been the same since. The smart meter company are no help, so wonder if anyone has any...

Hi my dad is trying to remove the front off his integrated dishwasher as he’s changing all the cupboard and drawers fronts. However, he’s unsure which screws will take the front panel off and which will separate the internals of the actual washing machine. Could anyone help with which screws to...

Hi there we’ve just moved into a house and over the past few days have noticed a grid on the drive having water pool round and over it when it rains. I’ve just had a look at it and it was full of soil. I’ve cleared the soil out and it appears to be a square clay drain that goes down...

Hi there. We’ve just moved into a house and are experiencing a massive amount of steam in the bathroom when showering. It’s fully tiled and has an extractor fan on the ceiling but even with it on, the mirror and shelf are soaking wet from steam. The fan goes into the loft and from what I’ve...

Hi there So, the cistern pictured is being a bit of a pain. It seems to be constantly filling but really really slowly... as if the water is at high pressure but isn’t able to get through where it should very well... other than a spray at the top of the fill system on the right of the...

Hi all.. I’ve just had a tap delivered with the flexi connectors in the picture. The previous taps were completely different fitting but had push fit connectors on the end to go to plastic pipe. I’m having an absolute brain fart and can’t work out how or what I need to get to connect the new...

Hi all, I’m fitting a new sink unit. The previous one had no back and allowed the pipework to be a bit of a hash - see the pic. I’m going to fit a new unit and hoped to be able to beaten the pipework out to pass through a single hole in the back of the unit. The only issue is the plumbing was...

Hi there. I have just pulled out our kitchen units and discovered behind the sink a hole in the plaster board exposing the brickwork. The draft coming through the hole is quite alarming. Its an old house and appreciate that probably the pointing needs fixing and stuff... but before I put the...

Hi there I have a 67 plate C350e which 2 weeks ago had the windscreen replaced after a brick hit it. Since the windscreen was replaced I've not really driven it in rain until yesterday when it became obvious that the windscreen wipers at position 1 and 2 on the stalk aren't working. They...

hi there I’ve just fitted the pipe work for a new cooker hood.. where the pipe comes out the ceiling there is a draft. It’s not huge and I’m not overly concerned but with our house being a 1860s built mid terrace, it has its drafts... and one by one I’m trying to deal with them. Should I just...

Hi there I’m looking to drain my central heating system just to do a little pipe work. Normally I would drain the system as a whole from the drain point on the radiator by the front door. I don’t mind doing that again, but I did wonder if turning the radiators off and draining just the pipework...

Hi everyone So, I’m in the process of re-fitting our kitchen. Everything is going swimmingly and I’m quickly approaching tiling along the worktops.. I don’t mind tiling but absolutely dread cutting tile trim. I’ve seen pre formed corners online for turns to take the the tiles up the wall at...
