    i did take it out completely to lower and refit it thinking that would solver overfilling but it seems to be float, thanks. i think i'll just buy and install a new one for a tenner.

    How do I fix overfilling cistern (Dual Flush Syphon)

    Thanks. Do you think changing the entry valve with a new one like the one below will solve it?

    How do I fix overfilling cistern (Dual Flush Syphon)

    The issue is it fills with normal water pressure up to around 6 litre, well below 6L marking and overflow pipe, but over half an hour it reaches the overflow pipe. I have tried lowering the bit on the right shown in the photo to its minimum so it's well clear of the overflow when it stops, but...

    How to straighten uPVC window so it closes flush with frame

    It all looks intact and not warped/bent/out of shape. If its a manufacturer fault then I guess new hinges would not sort it?

    How to straighten uPVC window so it closes flush with frame

    The window frame does not close tightly against the casement as shown in the photo on one side. I have put insulation bridge the gap. I can't see anything to adjust it like you find with uPVC doors? Slider mechanism: Right side that closes with gap: Side that shuts correctly:

    If not a gas leak, why the smell of sulphur "rotten eggs" in kitchen?

    Indeed, but my particular fridge gives me under 1cm space to access it and does not come away. Youtube videos suggest unclipping it and pulling strongly as there is glue holding it, but it's flimsy (by Beko) and I fear it might break which will be an even bigger pain!

    If not a gas leak, why the smell of sulphur "rotten eggs" in kitchen?

    Oddly, the smell is the strongest there, but above the grille! But pouring bleach down the hole has dispersed the rotten smell

    If not a gas leak, why the smell of sulphur "rotten eggs" in kitchen?

    I found the cause!!! Seems to be the fridge back evaporation tray Originally thrown by it as did not smell when I last checked Either an animal climbed into it and died (unlikely) or the condensed water was contaminated with food/milk that now sits inside the tray and might smell worse when...

    If not a gas leak, why the smell of sulphur "rotten eggs" in kitchen?

    Although I don't like the idea of finding them, I am hoping it is something like this. But from what I have read, the rotting eventually stops and so the smell, perhaps after 2 weeks, and it has been going on for longer and is intermittent....

    If not a gas leak, why the smell of sulphur "rotten eggs" in kitchen?

    If the smell is different from fresh gas, is there a way the added mercaptan smell can be altered before it escapes (partially burnt off, for example) if there is a gas leak?

    If not a gas leak, why the smell of sulphur "rotten eggs" in kitchen?

    It's tiled over solid/concrete floor so no place for an animal to be deeper down but there could be a crack in a soil pipe or similar that I have not seen letting the smell out at peak times
