    Carpet underlay

    Hello, What underlay is good/the best for bedroom provided it is wood floorboards floor, carpet is 12.5mm thick and dense (it has already have that soft and spongy feeling)? Current gap between the floorboards and the door bottom part is about 22mm. There will be some quite heavy furniture (up to 120kg) on small legs, so would be nice to avoid permanent furniture indentation marks, if possible. Thanks!

    Bathroom bath blocked

    Our bath is not draining the water after using, it’s been 2 days and affected our boiler once we found out the pipes join at some point in the drain. We tried to take the pipes under the bath to see what is blocking and was all clean, put then back together and more chemicals for drain clean and still not going down the water. At the moment we have no shower and no heating and a newborn at home 😔 Any idea what could be and who could come to help us to sort it please

    Horn sound when hot tap is turned on

    We keep getting a horn like sound from the pipe when we turn on the hot taps in both upstairs bathroom (mostly from here on shower and sink) and in the kitchen sink.
