Thanks for your replies! I didnt notice the screws were loose at all when I changed the switch. I havnt been using the heater I was concerned about the fire risk. I have the exact same heater in the bedrom and this one doesnt spark. Thanks

Evening, I have a fairly new storage heater in my living room, it’s about 2 years old and has had fair usage. I noticed last week the switch on the wall was getting very hot to touch. I took it off the wall to find the cables going to the storage heater were scorched and melted. The supply...

I turned it back on about an hour ago after a 24 hour wait, the fridge is down to 2 degrees but the fridge is still warm with no temperature change at all! Am I right in thinking that the freezer does not run off the same thermostat as the fridge? To me, it does sound like a thermostat...

Morning, Over the weekend my fridge freezer decided that it wanted to claim my over time that I got this month. I noticed the fridge had become warm and some items had defrosted in the freezer. It needed defrosted as the ice had built up a bit so I defrosted the freezer over a few hours...

Hmmm you got me thinking now, I shall have to pull up more of the sticky tiles that are currently there and take a proper look. Ive only broke off a corner and it looked like concrete! Thanks

Yeah UPVC, they raised it just by placing a load of packers under the foot plate / sill thing and squirting expanding foam under it, you couldn’t step on it for a few days as it caved in the middle. I think like you said, its most likely the surveyors fault. The window was a terrible fit, had...

Hello! I had a new front door fitted a couple of weeks ago and they have fitted it too close to the floor so not only can I not tile the floor I had planned I can just about get a door mat under it! Is there a correct height? Or is it all different and down to the fitter to make sure...

Well it was, but this new thick earth cable was the one the fitter put in! The worrying thing is he put in a higher rated shower, 7.5kw to 10.5kw and moved the shower from one end of the room to the other. As far as we can tell he never ran this new earth to the consumer box so god knows where...

Hello My brother has had his shower moved when he had the bathroom refitted. Recently the shower had been cutting out, loosing all power then sometimes coming back on by itself. I took a look and it looks like the ceiling pull switch was to blame because if you held the cord tight but not...

At least I know why it was splitting, I was running it from one end to the other! Problem is, it makes such a mess, im my tiny flat :? The doors im buying will be solid wood. If I wanted to go down the handsaw route and I right in thinking solid timber door dont have staples in the...

Hi I havnt got a circular saw but do have a electric planer. I need to remove around 10mm of the top and bottom of a timber door. I used the electric planer before and its very violent and creates lots of rough edges and splits the wood very easy (was roughly cutting down the old doors when...

Hello I want to extend my driveway so the second car does no have to keep parking on the grass. Im having trouble finding the blocks they used for the driveway. I dont think they are really for driveways originally. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello I need to replace all my interior doors. At present I have doors which look like they were all made on site to fit the frames. Not one of my door frames are the same size. To start off with im doing the Living room door first which currently it too high and not wide enough. The...

Thats what I want, but with a neon indicator! Just been back to B&Q and asked this time and they said they havnt got any lol Had a look myself couldnt see any. Its a huge B&Q warehouse too. Trying Wickes again tonight.

Thanks for that info. All I need to find now is a socket where its not a 3 pin plug. You know the ones where the flex goes straight into the switch. They are actually hard to find. None in B and Q wickes or Homebase!
