Hi guys, I have this room that (painted in typical UK white colour) have small scratches and stains here and there and I am looking to DIY and paint these small spots as there’s no need to repaint the whole room but so far all the paints I have tried seems to be a different shade of white than what the room was painted with originally. I have tried: - Johnstone's - Paint Tester Pots - Wall & Ceiling Paint - White Lace - Emulsion Paint - Easy to Apply - Dry in 1-2 Hours Dulux Walls & Ceilings Tester Paint, White Cotton, 30 ml Dulux Tester Paint, White Mist, 30 ml (Pack of 1) Please help. I need the name of that typical UK white paint used for rooms walls and ceilings. Thank you for your help.
Can anyone tell me what difference there is between having flue and flueless gas fires? I have recently removed an old gas fire from my house and now have a gap. I want to install a modern gas fire in the space, but I don’t know what difference it would be if it is flue or flueless. Is it related to the chimney pipe up to the chimney from the fire? Can anyone advise me on here, please?
I've just bought a reconditioned washing machine. How much would it cost to have someone plumb it in for me? I assume a handyman can do it rather needing a plumber? I have mobility issues, so I can't do it myself but I'm scared of being ripped off.
Hi. I live in a semi-detached house and share a roof with my neighbour. My neighbour has a new roof fitted and they replaced my tiles without asking me. They have used different tiles which appear to be a different colour than mine (orange). Again no-one has asked me about this. Also, there appears to be a massive gap now between the tiles on my roof and tiles on my next-door neighbours. What should I do??
Hi, I'm a tenant and can only have smart switches installed in the property I'm renting if: 1. The install is made by a professional with a certificate that would be used for insurance purposes 2. The switches are removed after the tenancy with another certificate that everything is back to the initial condition. Costs are totally prohibitive for an installation that will be temporary in nature like this. What I would like to have answered instead would be if it is possible to make all the installs myself, go through the pain and time waste of ensuring everything works and only pay for the labor of having a qualified electrician come to check and certify that the install was made to the best UK standards. (Then, the same in reverse to verify and certify the removal and reinstall of the initial switches. Many thanks for your help!
My bathroom extractor fan is no longer working. It is turning on but not doing its job. How can I identify the exact cause?
Hive or Nest seem to be the top contenders but what’s the difference? Can I get some real opinions from people who install them and what makes one better than the other?
I've painted a wall with dulux one coat, it came out ok but then I changed the light switches and needed to repaint around the switches but unfourtantly it's now left a huge paint patch where I've painted and can be see in various light, do I need to 're paint the whole wall to make it look good again?
Is there need to tank the shower walls if a shower tray is being used? Having mixed opinions from different tilers coming to price the job. Thanks
Hi, I've bought everything I need for my new bathroom. Shower, vanity unit with sink, toilet, tiles, paint, taps and everything in between. How much should I be paying for the labour, removing my current bathroom, disposing of it, making good and installing the new bathroom suite?
