People on Instagram seem to like short videos of handyman and DIY tips. So here's another one of my favourites. Keep some neodymium magnets in with your screwdriver bits. It helps if your bits are all kept in one big bag on a tool belt like me. This will magnetize all the drill bits and you can use them to pick up dropped screws and keep the screw on the end of the screwdriver which is really handy in many situations.

Having door problems? Don't get locked in your toilet. For any types of door issues, new locks, fitting, replacements, painting, hinge or handle repairs, get in touch.

Still have a water tank in the loft? Even with the lid on , some debris will get in over time and can clog the valve, not to mention debris in the pipework.


There are many small problems that can occur with them but if you haven't switched to a combi yet, best to make sure they're well insulated and covered as far as possible.


The valve on this one wouldn't close, but fortunately it had a working overflow so the continual filling was ejected outside.
