The handle on our Samsung Fridge Freezer is coming loose. There's a hole underneath (please see attached photos). I have tried various screwdrivers and allen keys but nothing seems to catch and tighten the screw. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

My fluidmaster flush valve won't close after the toilet is flushed. It seems the valve doesn't drop back down after the cistern has emptied. I've taken it out and cleaned it. The valve can move and I can stop the cistern draining by manual pushing the valve down but it won't drop down on its...

We have a leaking bathroom toilet. After the toilet is flushed, a few drops of water leak from soil pipe joint and nowhere else AFAIK. The photo of the soil pipe is how it has always been since we moved in 6 years ago. I'm wondering if it was even fitted correctly? I'm ready to call in a...

We got some walls plastered a few months ago. After mist painting them there are several areas where the paint won't stick. After searching the forum, I am guessing it is PVA. Assuming it is, I would appreciate any help figuring out my options. Some walls have only a couple of small...

Hi, We removed the wallpaper from the living room ceiling of our 50s house and it now looks like this: There's a layer of yellow on top of the plaster and on top of this is something white. I don't know what they are, but they're a pain to scrape off. Any advice on how to...

Our electric garage doors have been making some funny noises recently. I took a closer look today and noticed that as the door opens, it gets closer to the frame on one side until eventually it is rubbing against it. When closed there is a decent gap on both sides. When completely open, I can...

I need to replace 1 6ft section of gutter. I've searched online and asked at my local wickes but can't find a gutter with the overlapping join at one end (as shown in attached photo). All the ones I've seen have clean cut ends with a join attached separately. I would rather source the...

I've discovered that the house we're buying does not have planning permission for a car port and brick shed built about 20 years ago. We know that in 1992, the owners applied and were granted planning permission for a detached garage next to their existing garage to the side elevation of...

There's one bedroom radiator that's always on when the heating is on. It didn't always do this, it started the end of last winter and because we didn't need the heating anymore, we left it until now to fix. Turning the radiator control down doesn't do anything and I'm pretty sure it was...

our house is 6 years old. when we bought it a few months ago, we knew that a few windows were 'sticking' but now more and more are failing in the same way. the lower bolt does not lift (the upper one always works). i've taken one apart and found that the piece of the gearbox that lifts the...

Went for a 2nd viewing of a house we like. Went into the loft and noticed some cracks in one of the support beams and some missing concrete blocks. Have uploaded some pics. I know nothing about lofts, so hoping someone can give me clue me into what I'm looking at. In particular...

Took delivery of a miele premier 520 washing machine yesterday from comet clearance. Machine is supposed to be unused and came with transit bolts intact. Done a couple of washes and seems to wash okay, but it makes a worrying/annoying wheezing noise when the drum is moving slowly on wash...
