    How to fix a dripping kitchen tap?

    It’s a mixer tap but only the hot tap drips. Cold is fine. You have to turn the hot tap handle really tight to stop it and then it’s a pain to turn back on next time.

    Shower trap issue

    Hi, we recently moved into our current house. The bathroom has now an awful sewer smell. On inspection we found it to be coming from the shower drain (walk in shower - tiled floor). I lifted the grill and saw no water seal - no sitting pool of water - and it looks like the shower trap has been removed. Water flows directly down and so it looks like the smell is coming directly from the sewer. My newborn sleeps close by and so my wife is very worried now! However, I have no idea how to get this fixed/replaced as I can't find the brand name on any of the bathroom fixtures. Any help/advice hugely appreciated....

    Do BS1010-2 outdoor taps have check/return valves?

    Hello, I’m just installing a soaker hose system and don’t know if my existing outdoor tap (fitted in 2014) has a double check/no return valve. Can anyone advise if it’s likely to have? Many thanks.

    Radiator relocation

    I am buying a bungalow where I want to relocate the living room radiator to the other side of the room, the flooring is laminate floor. Can it be done by a tradesman without damaging the floor or do I need to get multi trades in to complete the job. I don’t want pipe work all around the skirting as I want it done properly.
