Hi We have Anthracite UPVC which is a foil covering. when fitted the Installer used an aerosol spray to cover a few scratches. it was a perfect match. Just wondering if anyone knows A good aerosol make as have a few marks that need tidying up. Have used a Konig touchup pen in the past but...

Hi Anyone used a Tarmac restorer they would recommend. The diy shops do Thompson drive seal but no idea how long it lasts. Tarmac is in pretty solid Nick, few little repairs required but nothing major. Tarma seal is twice the price but looks to be water based just the same and states re...

Thanks will do, I suspect they are outside of warranty now.

Sorry chaps not manage to turn off the heating and water yet been away with work. I do know its filling the header tank from the Vent pipe as I drained it down to the level last night and stuck a 2 ltr coke bottle under the vent pipe and it was full 24 hours later as was the header tank. not...

Cheers Guys I changed the pump speed to 2 yesterday after reading up on the subject. it was on 3 but has been since qwe moved in 4 years ago. It takes a week or two to start coming out of the overflow. I dropped the level a week ago say Saturday. Then went away for a week. checked it and...

Hi All, I am in need of replacing an old inset gas fire with a modern looking Inset gas fire. Any ideas on the cost of this job for a Gas Safe engineer. It seems almost impossible to find an engineer that wants to fit gas fires these days. It has been suggested its a full days work and...

Hi ALL, I have purchased a new inset gas fire to replace an inset gas fire, the plumber has told me he requires a certificate to show the chimney has been swept. When I pointed out that the gas fire was still in situ and should it not be removed first he said a chimney sweep has a couple of...

Thanks for the replies guys, Where the Bellcast has rusted but the actual Render is ok, I.e solid and still flares out as it would have done do I need to do anything? Some of the belcast if you look underneath where the render ends are rusty but Render is still intact and looks ok other than...
