  • Retaining wall cost

    Our garden slopes quite steeply and we want a retaining wall built to level off a section for a patio. It'd probably be about 6 metres long and 600mm high. Any idea on cost?

    Why does my boiler fire up in the night

    Why is this happening? The heating shouldn't be triggering as we turn it all the way down at night, so why can we hear it? This is a new combi boiler we've had installed, so wondering if it's a setting we need to adjust or if it's normal?

    Double socket situation

    I've got a double socket located in my front room, it has a PC and monitor plugged into it. Three days ago the switch broke so that one side would default back to the on position. I took it apart (after isolating etc.) and saw it was all worn inside (been in house ten years and never had it changed) I replaced it yesterday with a new socket front and it was fine until the evening when it all happened again. I had an electrician out today to check and they said it was probably a poor/faulty socket and replaced it again. Almost a day later... it's happened again. Any ideas would be appreciated before I put anymore money into it. I'm pretty confident it's not the devices as they've been in other rooms for varying lengths of time with no issues Cheers
