Which pressure washer?

1, 2 or 3-way shower system?
Hi We currently have a bath with taps, handheld shower and (concealed) overhead shower (on an arm, from the wall). The taps are mixer taps, and has the little pull-up lever to switch to the handheld shower - whilst the overhead shower is controlled by it's own control. We are replacing the bath and have an opportunity to…

Key Safe?
I'd like to put a key safe outside my door because previously neighbours knew where my key was hidden but a new member of family moved in next door that I don't trust. It's unlikely to be jemmied off the wall here. But although easy to buy I don't know if there are good ones or poor ones. Is there anything special I should…

Fence / Shed paint spraying
This really needs to be a priority for next year after letting it go this year & the garden is in such a way now that if it's brush on then it'll probably not get done again so I'm looking at a sprayer but know nothing about them. Until now I've basically just been using the Ducksback brush on stuff & happy enough with it.…

Fix render on corner of wall
Hi, I wonder if you can help. I had my front wall rendered 2 years ago and I think the postman/ dpd driver has hit it. There are two areas where the render has chipped off (see image) exposing the netting that the render binds onto. Rain water seems to disappear down the hole so assume it’s causing more damage. Can anyone…

Living with badgers
The HS2 construction destroyed wildlife habitats in our area and we now see deer and foxes regularly :s as they have nowhere to hide. Further to that, a local family of badgers seem to have moved into our little town and decided that our garden is nice place for their set entrance. On the other side they seem to arrange a…

Bicycle shed floor
After good 2 years of talking about it we have got ourselves a new bicycle shed. Should I put something on the floor to protect it? I was thinking about a lino off-cut. This is how it looks like: The green-ish stain looks a bit like mold, but maybe I am mistaken..

Cladding instead of hanging tiles
My property is a "chalet-bungalow". The downstairs is traditional brick construction. The upstairs is partially wooden frame with hanging tiles (see picture) and is much colder than downstairs. I recently had to get up on the roof and found that behind the tiles is a black membrane (torn in places), then some very thin and…

Weird stuck TRV
Hi all, One of our bedrooms' radiators came (we moved in the Spring) with this TRV installed: Whichever setting we use, from 0 to 5, the radiator seems to be stuck at full flow, making the room feel like the middle of the Sahara desert. I tried to unscrew the head and put a Tado TRV on the same body. The Tado doesn't show…

Gap between window frame (wood) and window (aluminium), and between frame and wall
I've noticed a small (maybe 5mm) gap between the window and window frame, where I can feel a bit of a draught coming in, at a relatives house. I've noticed how the inside wooden frame, doesn't sit flush against the wall (bottom photo). Maybe due to it being a bay window and that side of the wall being slightly curved?…

Boiler has died
Our boiler has just stopped working. There's no display on the boiler and no lights on the thermostat on the wall. I've checked wiring, no fuses tripped etc, it's just these two things that are dead. Any ideas before I call out an engineer?

Vaillant EcoTEC Sustain Boiler; water leaking from bottom - better to use Vallaint's Repair Service?
This is only a 3 year old boiler. Unfortunate for me, I didn't register within the 30 days from installation for warranty, nor pay for any annual service plan. Whilst it could be a small issue for a local tradesmen to fix, I'm wondering if it's just worth going with Vaillant's One-Off Fixed Price Repair Service at £399…

What roof material is this? (resolved)
Hi 🎄 [Resolved thanks and photo removed] I have a provisional call for solar panels tomorrow, I expect to be asked what roof material I have. I'm afraid I don't have clearer pictures, I won't be home before the call to get better pictures. Is anyone able to make an educated guess what this is? It's 15yrs old. Thanks 🙏

Is there anything I can do to stop this?
This is the vent from the extractor fan in my ensuite. It's a north facing wall and when it's windy the wind opens up the flaps and cold air comes back into the ensuite which results in the ensuite being a good 5 degrees colder than the bedroom even with the heating on. Is there anything, a cover maybe, that could stop…

Party wall loft conversion, unresponsive neighbour
Planning a loft conversion in our 2 bed mid terraced house with a well known and well regarded loft company. Neighbours on one side very straightforward signed the party wall notice. The other side more complicated. We had a good relationship with the owner, an elderly lady who unfortunately passed away earlier this year.…
