Should I keep the hardwood flooring?
The previous owners must have gone to great expense in putting down hardwood flooring in the living space, stairs and entrance hallway. I thought it was engineered wood but I found some spare boards and noticed that they were made of the real stuff. The issue is, it's a very dark brown/chestnut colour in an already dark…

Windows
Spotted these in one of our windows: According to FENSA documents, we think the windows were installed in 2006. Is the seal itself gone or should we consider replacing the whole window? Is DIY possible? Other windows around the house seem ok.

Buying a router - what collet size?
I worked with a router, but not much and don't have my own. Decided to buy it at last and now see the variety of collet sizes - 1/4", 1/2", 3/8" - not to mention metric ones ... For Makita RP0900X/2 Amazon says 1/4" or 3/8", but Screwfix says 1/4". How come? I can imagine 3/8 with an adaptor for 1/4, but not vice versa.…

No error lights. Analogue pressure gauge is in green border.If turned off and then back on, it seems to sort it.This has occurred twice now in around a week or so.Any ideas of the cause? If it's a PCB or fan, for example, then I'll probably recommend a Fixed Price Repair by WB. But if it's a simple issue, then a local…

Main Eco 28 Boiler - loud foghorn noises
I have a Main Eco 28 Boiler set up as a system boiler which has gotten really noisy over the last 8 months. When it fires up there is a long and very load "moan" like its struggling to suck something in. It then makes a loud humming noise as it runs.

Our Quooker Scale Control Plus has started beeping to indicate that it's time for a replacement cartridge. I don't see replacement cartridges for sale anywhere on the Quooker website any more, though. Does anyone know of a supplier of a decent alternative? There are cartridges being sold on Amazon with a brand name of "Tap…

VQ Monty Radio - Is it a wise buy?
We need a radio that is portable around the house, hence battery operated. The VQ Monty comes highly recommended, including being a Which? best buy, and seems to fulfil all our needs. However I see that its battery capability comes in the form of a custom battery pack, which is apt to prejudice me against it. I'm concerned…

What do I look for? - Replacement light question.
Looking for guidance please. I have an ancient, though functioning, strip light with 2 long fluorescent bulbs in it and a plastic "shade" to cover the bulbs. 1 of the bulbs is on its way out - constantly flickering and going dim.

Floating Shelf Sloping down
Looking for a bit of advice. I've installed a floating shelf in my living room. It's a hefty bit of solid wood, 1.8m x 0.22mm. The shelf came with 4 supporting rod type brackets and the shelf is predrilled to accept the rods. I've drilled into a solid brick wall that has been boarded and skimmed. The rods have a screw end…

Is it difficult to drill a hole in brick on outside or house
Hi folks, I'm thinking of getting one of those video doorbells and will probably need to drill a hole on outside of house as I believe the bell mounting backplate has a few holes in it to fix probably small screws, not that deep. Though I have a few drills, to be honest I'm not that handy with it and don't want to make a…

Electric blanket pre set timer?
I have an electric blanket (double with dual controls) that I set to come on at 9pm every night and go off at 11. I want to replace it with a similar one that has that same function but I can't see it offered in any of the adverts. They all have Timers but as the say 1hr/3 hr/5 hrs etc I presume that after they are tuned…

Hi, I’m wondering if someone could give me some advice. I've recently had a bit of an issue, where a neighbours property, which is owned by a housing association has erected scaffold, which is overhanging our property’s airspace by about 2 metres (no big deal), but they never asked permission, nor informed us of this) and…
