No not stiff to turn. Believe it is by IKON. Spoke to the fella who fitted it and he thinks it could be the valve as sometimes the insides of the valve go and it could be letting water through from the Hot water to the heating. Does that sound right?

Right, Sorry bit of an idiot. I checked the actuator and realised how easy it is to take on and off. Checking the valve behind, there is some movement but how much is there meant to be? If its closed position is 12 o'clock the only movement is to the left to about 9 o'clock. Should...

Rob, Is the actuator fairly easy to change yourself. You say that the valve may be stuck. Is this i one behind the actuator? I take it that behind the actuator is a valve of some sort and the actuator electronically controls the valve by turning it in a certain direction? Can i take...

Any help?

Hi, Its starting to warm up now so i have turned my radiators off via the central heating controls. I now have the water coming on a couple of times a day. I have noticed though that the radiators are still getting hot when the hot water comes on. Looking at the mid position actuator...

Hi I have to patch up some pebble dash (spar). I know i wont get an exact match but will eventually paint. What sort of render do i put on before the pebbledash. It looks as though its only the thin top coat i need to put on, but is this just cement? Should i put something onto the...

Hi, I am about to do a decking job for someone and there DPC is very low. I do not think i will be able to fix the ledger board below the DPC as best practise. Will it be ok to use spacer (washers!) behind the ledger board allowing water run off. Does anyone have any tips or is it...

she owns it. Was bought off the council years ago for about 2p.

i have yet to talk to her but know the answer will be i havnt got any money after i ended up paying to renew her fence on her border in the back garden and a wall on her border in the front garden. I wanted to find out average costs of a tree surgeon before we spoke. The trees (that are...

Sorry. When i say ***** i mean she hasnt got a lot of money, doesnt give a ****, lets her garden overgrow and sits around all day watching trisha and loose women. If ive offended any *****'s im sorry to lump you all in the same bracket as this woman. God there are some people on here...

Under part 8 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 you can complain about high hedges. It costs you £450 to complain to my council for them to investigate it.

Hi everyone, I would like to give you my situation and see if anyone can help. I live next door to a right old pickey. She is on benefit and does sod all in her garden. Apart from all the crap in her garden she has 3 evergreen trees planted closely together at the bottom of her garden...
