Thanks datarebal, that's what I thought.

Hi, I have a 1983 built house with Norfolk Pantiles on the roof. Whilst repairing the pointing underneath the gutters I noticed that the end of the pantiles have been filled with mortar, which is bedded on whats left of the sarking. The sarking no longer reaches into the gutter. These days I...

Our heatslave developed a fault a month ago. It was squealing baddly and finally went to lock out. We had an engineer out who replaced a bearing in the fan (I presume) Everything was fine until today when it started making the same noise and has again locked out. Are the bearings prone to fail...

Sorted. The doors have plastic trims which can be removed, allowing trimming of the frame. Cheers paul

Hi, A friend has asked me to fit some internal doors for her. They are PVCu coated on a wooden frame,with a plastic trim on the lock edge and an angled plastic trim on the hinge edge. The trims look as though they pull off, and the lock mechanism and latch holes are pre-drilled. I've...

Thanks to both, I'll go for the 1/4 inch stamps paul

Hi Everyone, I have a requirement to put a serial number on my boat, stamped onto it, for security. The boat is mild steel and the section where I would like to stamp it is approx 6mm plate. Can any advise a metal stamp that will do this. I've seen many adverts for punch type stamps (scewfix...

Hi, Does anyone know how to remove the flourescent lamp located above the door on an Infrico Bottle cooler. I think its a 144 bottle cooler and is in our local. I had a look and I can remove the starter but the lamp appears to be covered in a clear plastic cover which I can't see how to move...

Good point gasandoilman, at least I know where the problem is so that's a starting point. Any engineers near newmarket on line? Many Thanks to all Paul

hi Nixt, thanks again. I've just tried your suggestion and the brass fitting on the top of the solenoid just keeps turning freely, but not unscrewing. maybe someone else tried and broke the thread? the oil appears alongside this brass nut at the top of the solenoid housing. Any further...

Hi Nixt Thanks for the reply. I've managed to get the pump out and can see the hex nut which is covered by what I presume is the solenoid body. I cannot work out how to get the body off. There's a brass cylinder on top of the solenoid housing with an alan key fitting. This just turns and...

Hi everyone I am experiencing a problem with our Heatslave 15/19 not firing which I think is linked to the oil pump. I've checked out fuel gets to the pump (Danfoss BFP 41) and I have had it exiting the pump to the boiler. this then fires up ok. However there is a leak from the top of the...

Hi Agile, I was thinking that about the boiler.

I have a heatslave 15/19 that exhibits a similar problem. In my case I can get hot water and /or heating by knocking the timer front panel. On doing this the relays inside operate and the boiler fires up. I haven't checked it out yet (much to my wifes annoyance) but my suspicion is a dry joint...

Hi Everyone, My son is about to move into a new build house and has asked me to install a solid wood (oak) floor. It will be T&G. My worry is that being a new build there may still be a lot of drying out to go in the concrete floor. Will this cause the new afloor a problem?. Secondly...

Many Thanks Kev Paul

Hi, This is probably a real dumb question but as I'm not a plumber.... I have been advised to restrict the flow to the calorifier on my boat to allow the heating unit to operate efficiently, using a restrictor valve. This being cheaper than a motorised switch.Would that be a servicemans...

Not a car park, but the ground is pretty unstable and surrounded by trees. Just adding contingency. Mind you a car park would bring in a bit of cash!

Thanks handy, most useful, and apologies Lynda

can anyone give me a ball park figure for the cubic metre cost of readymix concrete for use in foundation work. I am planning to pour strip foundations 600mm wide and 1 metre deep. A rough guide would be useful for my budget. many thanks in advance Paul __________________________...
