Fleas but no pets - questions about treatment now that there are no new bites...
Just under 2 weeks ago, I saw a flea on one of my arms in the main room of my flat (living room/bedroom/kitchen with laminate floor). I'd been very itchy for a few weeks but put it down to detergent - the flea's presence told me otherwise. I moved my bedsheets and saw 3 others. I spoke to a (now retired) pest controller…

End Terrace gutter issues
We live at the end house and when we get heavy rainfall water leaks into the living room. We receive all the streets rain in our gutters, they cannot cope and water streams down our walls.

So I'm wondering whether anyone would be able to give even a very approximate figure for the cost of replacing 6 windows and 2 doors? I know it will vary on the size of the…

Mixer taps, no water, hot or cold
There is a rarely used mixer tap in the house in the spare bathroom. It usually just works, until today. There is no hot water and no cold water flowing out of the tap, also both taps only turn about quarter of a turn. It seems to have just packed up having not been used for a few weeks. Am I looking at a plumber fitting…

Sanding contoured solid wood flooring - advice please!
We replaced the floor in our bungalow well over 10 years ago with oiled floor boards from B & Q. We used to home board dogs. I'm not bothered by the scratches but there are patches on a few boards where spills of their drinking water has affected them. It's not serious damage, just the oil has worn away and there are…

Changes to existing Conservatory
My Wife and I are in the process of trying to decide whether to move or renovate. One of the areas we are looking at in our current home is our conservatory. It's approx 2.5 x 2.5m, but currently it falls into the usual traits of being too cold in winter/too hot in summer and so it's largely just used as a storage area and…

Hoover Tumble Dryer HLEV10DG-80
Bought this dryer to replace my previous Hoover dryer. However, it won’t dry bedding, just rolls it into a ball. I’ve tried Laundry Balls, detangling gadget, shaking out sheets and duvet during the cycle (numerous times) and nothing works so complained to Hoover. Basically they are saying tough. They’ve changed all their…

Service kits for Velux skylights cost £37 each. Is there a cheaper way?
Hello. The house we bought four years ago has 10 Velux skylights.
