thanks so much guys. is the starter hard to replace? i'm pretty sure i know where it is in the fitting - as you can guess, i know nothing :).

Hi all! I have a circline (60w) light in my kitchen but it wont switch on. For a couple of weeks it would flicker a little and then come on but wont do anything now. Just spent £13 on a new bulb but that's made no difference. There's a little light around the plug on the bulb...what else could...

Thanks for the reply mate. I checked the top of the fireplace but it looks like it's immovable. It's a fixed plate all the way around the open fireplace. It's one of those gas fires with the fake coal - there's a couple of large holes at the top for ventilation. Doesn't look like I can reach up...

Hi guys - not sure what to do about this little problem so I thought you guys could suggest something. For the last few days I have heard some movement from my chimney and just assumed that birds had built a nest up there. Small bits of dust and masonry (not brick, I don't think. little pieces...

That's a great relief, thanks so much :). I will be sure to give them a call tomorrow.

Hi All, For the last week now there has been an odd creaking noise coming from the area of my gas meter whenever I use my gas fire. I can't isolate it; I think it's coming from the actual box but could be from the pipes around it. Having just counted it - the creak seems to come every 10 secs...

thanks so much for the advice all. it could just be the valve letting it drip out but wherever it's leaking from needs to be sealed. is it easy to replace the ball valve? don't want to make things worse and right now i can't even figure out how to turn my water off. can you get those hydro-flows...

just turned both taps off (clockwise, both were turned all the way to the right to start with) and flushed the toilet but i still have an abundance of water. turned the taps on too but it didn't stop. very confused as i'm sure that's what the taps are there for. should i only try using one?

oh, i have no water tank in the loft. got to be the taps under the sink then, right?

nope, it doesn't take 20 mins to fill, it's full but keeps dripping. it's like the valve doesn't go high enough to totally stop. it drips until it gets to the point of the crack (hasn't happened yet). i figure if i use the toilet every 2 hrs there may not be a problem. i will try turning off the...

complete fool when it comes to plumbing so i thought someone here could offer advice. my toilet tank started dripping last night so i thought i'd just let it drip out until empty and get myself some form of sealant until i can buy a new toilet. for the first time in four years i've opened it up...
