Thanks JAK. I'll head down to Screwfix and get a selection of screws of then. Much appreciated!

Hi all Wondering if anyone knows what type of threaded screw is required for the adjustable strike plate keep on my door? Both screws are lost but door will not "latch" if kids close door behind them i.e. slam it! This is probably how screws have been lost. It looks like a M5 but just wondered...

Looking for some advice here. I bought the following door online as it was suitable for my height req'd and would need trimmed on the edges (28mm). http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Construction+Materials/Softwood+Interior+Doors/4+Panel+Clear+Pine+Door+1981+x+838mm/d210/sd3238/p87316...

Hi Matz There is a small gap at the moment which I can see into with a torch. I can see the stud (which is mounted into the leg) turning as I turn the leg, so that fit is secure. As I said, the stud is fitted into an insert within the chair, but I've tried pulling on the leg as I turn it...

Hi I'm trying to remove a chair leg from an armchair. The problem I have is that the leg just keeps turning and won't tighten or loosen off. It looks a simple design as per usual with a stud on the leg going into an insert in the armchair. Can someone offer a possible solution or cause...

That will be fine. I'm sure £1.68 won't kill me! :lol: Prefer to get bit tomorrow and finish the job. Thanks.

It's fixed to a conduit box with the cables terminated as you say in a block. I've held onto the screws for this reason. Thanks as well!

Half the battle is knowing what they are called when using google! Thanks!

Hi "Ban-all-sheds" Where can I get this plate? I've been searching google and also been to B&Q who didn't seem to have any. As I mentioned, Plan B is not an option for me nor Plan C (wires are plastered into wall). Thanks!

Hi I've got a light in my downstairs cupboard which hasn't worked for ages due to a broken wire (the wire has been proved dead) so I've decided to fit a battery powered light with a pull cord. The electrics in the house are old (2 black wires, one with a piece of red tape wrapped around it...

Isolated both the shower mixer and the bath tap one at a time, shower first. Definitely an improvement. Still a slow drip from overflow. Then isolated the bath tap. No change to overflow. Still slowly dripping.

I'll try that. If I can find out which mixer is the problem, will it still be a case of fitting a check valve? Last throw of the dice. Will post update tomorrow. Thanks ps water from overflow is warm water

Update Fitted the single check valve on the mixer tap downstairs (hot pipe) and problem still persists. Think it's time to get someone in....... :?

I've realised that I failed to ask an obvious question! What pipe do I fit the valve to? The cold pipe downstairs next to the kitchen sink? Thanks! p.s. in relation to an earlier reply re reducing hot water flow, the hot water flow downstairs is pretty poor.

Thanks

Thanks Seco I'll try that tomorrow then. I take it I can get the valve from B&Q? Will it be simple enough to fit?

Yes.

It's not an electric one and we don't have gas CH. It's just fed from the water tank via the pump. A mixer type?

Are check valves simple to fit? I presume I would need to fit one to both mixer taps and the shower? As I've already got a pump for the hot water upstairs, would the flow be restricted with that in use? Thanks

Thanks for the replies! A couple of questions then. How can I fix this? Is it straightforward? Thanks again.
