Hi can someone help me work out what’s wrong with the plug socket? The switch is permanently 'on' on the faceplate and when I press it to turn it off it won’t stick down, it just clicks back into ‘on’ position. I had another one do this last year but one day it just worked again and I have no idea how it was fixed. How can I fix the switch?

Why would my overflow pipe be dripping?

Plumbers - 10 answers

Hi all, I’ve noticed that my overflow pipe has started dripping near enough constantly. It is fitted just beneath the roof tiles and has been doing this for a few days now. Are there any usual causes for an overflow pipe to be dripping? and if so, is it something I can fix myself? If this is a simple tweak I would much rather fix it myself rather than hire a plumber.

Would I tile my bathroom before or after the fitters install the furniture?

Bathroom Specialists - 10 answers

I’m getting a whole new bathroom fitted, tiles/floor/bath/shower/loo/sink etc. Should I get the floor and walls tiled before the rest of the bathroom is installed? Or will they likely get damaged by the fitters?

Worries about K Rend external render

Plasterers - 6 answers

I want to have K render installed on my house but keep hearing stories about it losing its colour within a couple of years. I'm looking for some advice from actual experts and installers rather than peoples opinions on the internet. Are the horror stories true? Do you think the cost of K render is worth it? Do you think it is worth spending the extra money or should I just go for the cheaper option? Would you reccomend K Rend? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does wood work need primer and undercoat before using gloss paint on wood?

Painters & Decorators - 11 answers

I have woodwork shelving fixtures in my room that I want to repaint. I have been told that I should use primer followed by an undercoat before applying the gloss pain. Are both coats required before the gloss paint or just one of these or could I even just use the gloss paint straight away? I want the best results, but I don’t know what the overall benefit is to using both coats before the gloss paint anyway.

What can I do about a leaking u-bend pipe beneath my sink?

Plumbers - 10 answers

For the past week, I’ve had a small drip leaking from the u-bend pipe underneath my kitchen sink. It seems to be from the joins of the pipe sections. So far, I’ve had to put bowls underneath to collect the drips, but I can’t leave it like this for too long. Is there anything I could do that might fix this drip in the meantime? I could probably take it apart, but haven’t just in case I can’t put it back together. Alternatively, should I just hire a local plumber to take a look?

How to fix a broken internal door?

Locksmiths - 12 answers

Bedroom door is stuck shut and I can’t open it from the outside. I’m not on the side with the latch visible so I can’t open it that way. Can I open the door without damaging it? It’s just a standard wooden door with a lever latch handle and I can lower the handle but the latch inside isn’t moving. Help!

Can I turn my conservatory into an extension?

Builders - 10 answers

Hi all, I have a conservatory attached to the house currently which features a dwarf wall. I was wondering if it would be possible to convert the conservatory, building from the dwarf wall upwards. It has a concrete floor and significant footings from what I can tell. Can this be converted into a single storey extension? Would anybody know if this is feasible or if it would be cheaper than a completely new extension? Many Thanks
