Got some wooden facia boards on which the stain is blistering. Amy suggestions as to what product would give me a long lasting finish?

Have just moved into an apartment which has a radiator controlled by a wall mounted czc1 device (photos attached). I've gone through the instructions several times but can't get the controller to 'connect' with the radiator. When I got there, the batteries had not been changed and had leaked...

I want to install a Nuaire Drive Eco Heat HC in my attic. It incorporates a 400w heater. I have a socket in the attic so can I just plug it into that or do I need an electrician in?

I have purchased what is effectively someone's back garden, with a view to building a house on it. The seller of the land had extended his sewerage pipes on to the land so that the purchaser of the land could simply link into his sewer. So effectively what will happen is that my sewerage system...

I've just finished grouting my shower cubicle using 'Bal White Microflex grout', would anyone recommend sealing the grout and if so, what product would you use?

First things first......I am a novice but would like to try and do this job myself. I appreciate that some things are best left to the experts....but surely this can't be rocket science?? I have a regular CH system driven by a combi boiler. The towel rail is to be fitted in an en suite...

I've had to drain down my system today to sort out a problem valve. It runs on a Worcester 28 cdi combi boiler. All I've done is drain out the water from the central heating, and filled it up again, but the boiler's playing up now. Is there something I should do with the boiler before starting...

I had a Gardtec 370 system installed in my house some 9 yrs ago. I've never had a problem with it. However, today we've had a power cut, the alarm activated, and there was no way of switching the damn thing off. The RKP showed 'PC', but wouldn't respond to the code with I normally input. I'm...

Some pretty basic advice please. Purely for private diy domestic use what is the best emulsion paint to use. Should I buy the cheaper 'own brand' from the diy stores or should I buy Dulux or similar which seem to be about 40% more expensive?

I have a small en-suite shower room in a modern house which is problematic because of black mould growing on the ceiling and walls. I've repainted twice in 3yrs using Dulux bathroom paint, but it keeps coming back. I have an extractor fan and the window is open for most of the day, but...
