DIY Doctor presented 15 demonstrations on skim plastering, repairing burst pipes, basic plumbing, How to use a DIY toolkit and DIY Comedy at the National Home Improvement Show at Earls Court last weekend.

Over 30,000 people wandered past the stand to watch and listen to advice from tradesmen on how to complete their DIY projects at home. The feedback was fantastic and as soon as the show was finished we were booked to appear again next year.

Big thanks to Chelmer Heating Services for standing in at the last minute and presenting 3 great seminars on Renewable Energy.  Take a look at their site here http://www.chelmerheating.co.uk/

As far as we can tell DIY Doctor is the only advice site which actually reaches out to it’s users to show them how to create DIY projects safely and to a professional finish. All the other “ME TOO” websites sit back, copy the DIY Doctor content and reword it. If there was a single tradesman amongst them, he would make himself known.

Plagiarism is a huge problem on the web. Content is taken from a hardworking site, run by professional people with integrity. The words are switched round and it is published on another site. Watch the content on DIY Doctor. WE publish a page and 10 minutes later 3 copycat sites have the same information on theirs.

We prove we can do the work we talk about by appearing on Radio, TV and at exhibitions in person…Others sit back drawing pretty pictures of jobs they wish they could do.  We wonder how many schools they were thrown out of for copying their classmate’s homework!

That’s my gripe for today. We showed again at the Home Improvement Show that DIY Doctor is real. Real Tradesmen giving real advice in real situations. Not wannabe pretenders with all the integrity of a Cowboy.

Take a look at the videos of the show here http://www.improveyourhomeshow.co.uk/ and see if you can spot “The Doctor”

        

I have installed a woodburner in a new house. I have fitted a clay pot adaptor into the chimney liner & cowled the chimney up top. As soon as the fire gets going tary water starts dripping down from the chimney and continues, complete with nasty smell and hissing until the fire goes out.

        

Can anyone advise the easiest way of covering
a concrete driveway? Can I put gravel or shingle on the top of it?

        

Hi, i’m hoping someone can help, if possible….. i’m fitting a new ceiling light (with 3 seperate 25w bulbs) in the bathroom, and don’t know how to connect with the old wiring from above, which has 2 earth wires (previously connected to a “line”? screw point for the old light), 2 black wires (which went to the “loop-in”, then to the bulb), and 1 red (to the neutral, then to the bulb). i think i can identify which of these run back to the switch, but how should the new light be connected through its live, neutral, earth block, please?

At the (1-way) switch end, there are 2 earth wires, 2 red wires joined together, and 1 more single red. Will they connect to the new pull-switch quite easily? The connectors there are com-L, L1 and L2, as well as the earth.

Sorry if this is basic – or if i’ve made no sense – but good advice would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

        

Hi, can someone lease let me know if there are restrictions on where an electrical point can be sited in relation to the position of a gas cooker. i want to move a point (which supplies the elecs to the cooker) i’ve just found behind the cupboard i’m replacing.

Cheers for any help……. Dave

        

Can anyone assist? I drained my cold water tank using the cold tap in bathroom to enable me to remove the toilet cistern . On re filling the tank the cold tap and toilet cistern inlet refuse to deliver water , and the hot water tap dried up after a short output. I have tried blowing back through both taps and forcing cold water using the downstairs mixer tap back through the hot system… nothing but a few drips of water through the toilet fill which is lower than the two bathroom taps ….
