    Sagging finlock gutters and leaks?

    Good evening, I have recently moved into a 1960s bungalow with a dormer. We started to get leaks in the living room after a couple of weeks of moving in. You can clearly see the history of botch jobs to hide the leaks and damage to the ceiling boards. The finlock guttering sags outside the...

    How to change washer on Beaumont Brassware tap?

    After managing to unscrew the top cowling of this tap, I can see a nut underneath. But I can't budge it. I'm assuming I should be trying to unscrew it, or should I be doing something else to sort this out? Photo here Any advice gratefully received.

    Hello, Could someone please help me identify what this could be? I had a leaking pipe in my utility room- for a very long time. It was under the laminate floor and went unnoticed. This is now fixed. In the utility room I also use a condenser, which leaked allot. This no longer gets used...

    Our house was converted from an old barn in 1986. The builder installed microbore central heating with the ground floor pipes buried in the slab. Unsurprisingly, we have just suffered a pretty major leak which drops the pressure from 2 bar to zero in 15 minutes. The walls in the area are...
