There is water leaking out my toilet. It seems to be dripping out shortly after being flushed. How can I find out what exactly the issue is? And what can I do to fix it? Will I need to hire a plumber or is this the sort of work that can be done DIY?
I am wanting to know where I stand when a builder does not adhere to Building regulations? I have had a garage conversion done and the builder has not followed the architectural plans so now my conversion has not passed building regs and is unwilling to come and put the failures to rights. He is demanding the final payment for completion when the job has not been completed.
I’ve just bought a portable induction hob from Ikea as a temporary replacement for my freestanding cooker, but am wondering if it is okay to plug this into the cooker socket with the red switch, or should I just plug it into a normal socket? Just want to check before I plug it in.
I have an electric shower but I am concerned as there was a burning smell coming from it the last time I used it. What might be the cause of this and how can it be fixed?
Hello, I have no lead flashing on my artificial slate roof, but have been told there are lead soakers. My local roofer says lead flashing isn’t a requirement for this roof type. Does anyone know if I should have lead flashing on my roof? I have some concern that some leaks on a ceiling-adjacent wall could be related to this, or perhaps the soakers aren’t effective enough. Any info would be appreciated – thanks Gordon
Hello, I am planning on repainting some bathroom walls, but I’m unsure which paint is the best choice. Dulux Trade Diamond Matt or Dulux Bathroom Paint or something entirely different? Any advice on this or even for the choice of primers or sealants would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lou
I have two sets of taps in my bathroom (sink & bathtub) and would like to replace both of them with new mixer taps – for easier use and due to the taps’ age and wearing. I would to prefer to install these myself if possible, as I’ve had some experience with tap installation in the past. Are there any major changes that I will need to take into account beyond the piping of the hot and cold water to the single tap? Anyone with any experiences of installing mixer taps would be appreciated.
Hi all, I am a landlord to several flats and I am interested in hiring cleaning services for the flats when tenants have left the flat. How much does it typically cost for a single flat to be cleaned at the end of a tenancy? Could there be any discounts for multiple flats that need cleaning? If rates are reasonable, I would consider having a more regular cleaning service to keep flats in good order.
Hi all A few months ago I had been redecorating my bathroom, which included repainting the ceiling. I had used Dulux’ bathroom specific paint – for better mould and moisture resistance. Since then, the paint has become flaky as small cracks are appearing – surely this is too soon for any noticeable wear? Is there any better suited paints for bathrooms ceilings? Or is there some way that the paint should be applied to be most effective?
Hi I am looking to buy a new kitchen suite and would like to know where the best place to buy a full kitchen would be? I want to buy it and get it installed ideally unless it would be better to buy it separately? I'm after the full kitchen with units, worktops and built in appliances. Any advice on the best place to buy them from without getting ripped off would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
