    Wilting problem

    There are partially and fully grown plants in my garden. All was going well but now all of a sudden they are wilting. Do you know what might be causing this problem? How can I fix it? Why would they grow fine and then start wilting at this stage? What signs should I look out for in the future that this problem may still be present to some degree or another?

    Why does filler keep showing through paint?

    I've patched a hairline crack in the wall twice and it keeps coming through the paint even after two full coats. Is this a priming issue or am I using the wrong filler?

    Persistent problem with thermostatic shower

    Hello, I have an exposed thermostatic shower mixer which has been cycling hot and cold, I was told to replace the shower but the new one has the same issue. The shower isgoes cold and hot after several minutes of working fine, and then starts to cycle. The previous shower worked fine for 8 years before the problem started, the combi boiler, also 8 years old and otherwise working fine, has been checked and the shower valves have been checked for debris. I am at a loss to what or where the problem lies. It’s a flat and the water pressure is low as is the flow rate and always has been, and I don’t believe this has changed recently but I can’t say for certain. Any ideas?! Thanks Rita
