drip from hot water tank pipe - advice
Hi All, There is a steady drip coming from this pipe out of the hot water tank in my bathroom. It must have been going on for a while, as I've only found it because a small water mark appeared on the kitchen ceiling directly below it. Here's a short video of it for reference: https://imgur.com/a/tmjMv4b Can anyone advise…

MSE Hoover HF4 problems (moved from Praise, Vents and Warnings)
I had no replies in Praise agents and Warnings so posting content here: I’m happy with the MSE offer of the Hoover HF410P and the good discount so that’s the praise. Vent is that although it is advertised as a 3 year warranty it is only possible (so far) to register a one year warranty. I have filled in online forms, rang…

pressure treated gates
A couple of years ago I had some tall pressure treated gates fitted at the end of my drive. I thought that because they are pressure treated I wouldn't need to treat them with anything so I've left them as they were, but now I've seen on the internet that to help them last, I should maybe use something to give them a…

Nilfisk pressure washer problems
I have been given a nilfisk pressure washer by a family member. It has only been used once then they moved and no longer needed it. I have set it up and put the input hose into a bucket of water to test (I plan to run it from the water butt). I switch it on and it makes noise but does not suck the water in. When I squeeze…

Shower sounds like a foghorn
I've recently had a new shower installed, which you can see here. However, when I adjust the temperature from cold to hot it makes a noise like a foghorn. It's absurdly loud. And this sound is continuous until you adjust it back to a colder temperature. No other taps in the house are affected by this. The manual for the…

I'm getting a new door with a double glazed panel to improve the light. I don't want just clear glass and there seems options for different types of obscure backing glass but mainly 2 sorts - textured glass or satin/frosted glass - I prefer. Looking on glass websites they all have blurb that focuses on privacy and to some…

Planning permission for a dormer
Hi all, I've recently had a builder round who has mentioned that if I was considering a dormer put in then it wouldn't require planning permission. I have previously been interested in it, however the council haven't been much help and I don't want any work to start until the council have confirmed this. The property is an…

Home Insurance and Building work
Hi, I am about to purchase a new annual building and contents policy - but potentially I could have some building work starting during the year - a new kitchen, flat roof, beams (removal of a wall) etc etc - I suppose it makes sense to take out a decent policy, will legal, accidental and home emergency cover - just incase…

Builder damaged neighbours roof
We've had building work done over the last few months and in the process they accidentally broke a piece of my neighbours roof, this was only a slither of the roof that overhangs over a doorway, there isn't a gaping hole. We believe the roof is asbestos so we can't rip out what's there, but he offered to cover the area…

Small brown/orange stains on white clothing, after washing
Morning all. We have been suffering with an ongoing issue, whereby white clothes are coming out of our washing machine with small (only a couple of millimeters) but very visible browny/orangy specs. This started to happen every-so-often (about six months ago) but seems to be happening more frequently - the other day, twice…

Electriq Ecosilent Aircondioning Unit
Does anyone have this unit, I just want to work out if it's working properly.

My elderly mother with health issues has trouble emptying her tumble dryers water tank, which is right at the very bottom of the machine. Do any exist with water tanks higher up on the machine ? Preferably near the top. Thanks for any advice. Doesn't matter if heat pump or condenser style, sadly she can't have a outlet…

New windows
The windows in my home are very old. They have condensation in them but on the plus side are thin as they are made of aluminium. Also in cold weather they have a lot of condensation on the inside (rather than between the panes). I could change them, but its expensive and I may not be living in this home for more than…

GRP Roof issue
I had it installed over an extension about 13 years or so ago and the issue regards a puddle of water that develops after rainfall and which tends to stay as it can't drain away due to a roof light which stands in the way. I was advised that such roof puddles if allowed to remain can damage the GRP so I wondered if is…
