Diamond geezer ! Works a treat. On closer inspection I see it’s just the top part that seems to slide away but it does indeed expose the screw. Thank you very much - now to inspect the spindle to see why it won’t disengage the lock .

Hi all I have a upvc window that will not open when the handle is theme to the open position. I’m guessing it could be the spindle but I need to remove the handle first. There is only one visible screw as per attached and removing it does not loosen the handle at all. Does anyone know how to...

thank you, to be honest I have not had this before - had old aluminum double glazed windows for many years and no issues with condensation.

thanks - this unit is only 3 years old. As I say there was a pool of water in the bottom the fame when I pulled the unit out. I guess this should not happen as there is a rubber gasket where the glazing meets the frame?

I’ve noticed this condensation between an obscure double glazed unit. The water appears to be dripping from the top . The first day I noticed it it hadn’t been raining for at least a week before and it always starts at the top. I took the unit out and there was water in the bottom of the frame...

Thanks for the response John. In this case it is a fence ownership question rather than boundary. The title register states about maintaining fences but that only applies to the north eastern boundary which backs on to a lane. Would it not have been established when the house was built who owned...

Thanks for your reply. Not familiar with the curriculum these days but having asked a couple of people about he boundary one was not sure and one thought it was what I would consider the northern boundary. hence my reason for asking.

Hi All, I am attempting to determine who owns a fence between two residential properties. the land registry title doesn't have T marks on the plan but only states "The T marks referred to affects the northeastern boundary of the land" . can anyone advise which would be considered the...

Ok so I tried this. Burner on, turned temp on CH right down. Burner went off. immediately put CH temp back to where it was, burner did not fire. Hung around for a few mins watched the temp display on boiler drop to approx 33 degrees and nothing. Mrs then went and turned on hot tap so...

hey Chris, what you say seems reasonable and without any further info would repeated stop starts of the burner not end up being less efficient ? Perhaps even more so with a non-condensing boiler that we have although to be fair I do like the vaillant, it has served us very well. Also, heating...

This makes sense, let me investigate if there is a setting that controls anti cycling frequency. Didn't think of that but valid point. Thank you.

But I can hear the ‘click’ in the heatlink almost immediately after turning up the temperature on the thermostat; this indicates the heatlink has picked up the request and from there that should cause the boiler to fire up. Even after I hear the ‘click’ in the heatlink , 3 minutes later The...

Ok, so I set a schedule last nigh and the boiler did fire up at the desired time, so something is working as expected. It then fired up this morning when i manually set the the desired temperature well above the room temperature. So this appears to demonstrate the call for heat is being read by...
