Thanks for your quick reply. It is just a drip but a constant drip. I dont want to force something and end up making it worse! I am not DIY minded at all. I just want to make sure that in this cold weather and Glasgow is freezing at the moment that I dont have to turn off my heating - I...

hi there The bleed valve on my upstairs is leaking. I have BG coming out on Wednesday to fix it but looking for an interim solution. The valve to isolate the radiator is hard to move and i dont want to force it. Could I put plumbers mait around it as a temporary solution (would this...

think so. looked at a diagram online and it was like that. if the belt was on the other side of the pulley it would have less tension would it not?

Hi everyone I have a zanussi tumble dryer model TCE 7276W andthe drum belt snapped. It is out of warranty so I ordered a belt and set about changing it myself. I have the belt on but there is no tension in it. I have searched the net for diagrams etc of what is should look like but...

Hi there I have a lock on my storm doors but no key (remember having it when we moved in but can't remember where I put it!) If I took the lock out and took it to Timpsons or somewhere similar would they be able to find a key that fits it?

Apologies for not replying sooner.....been busy at work. The wood part of the step is between the storm doors and the front door, from the storm doors out it is concrete. The tiler came back and is going to put down 9mm ply at the wooden bit....Is that ok?

Hi everyone I am getting a my outside front step tiled.....(getting a pro into do it).....but I took the old tiles off and have found wood - wood in not very good condition - under some of the tiles and concrete under the rest. What is the easiest option for tiling this - replace the wood...

Hi everyone Hopefully got it sorted.....plumber came in and filled the bath with cold water and it drained fine, got him to fill it with hot water and it leaked pretty badly, much to his amazement! Fingers crossed this is the end of the problem.

who wrapped the black tape round it :?: New waste - + new Trap - job done :wink: There is no black tape around it :? black waste pipe going into white u bend. I am not sure what a hemp/silicone grommet is.....not planning on doing the job myself......but just want a basic...

yeah, both plumbers have checked this - it is only leaking when a bath is taken, it is fine with showers and is only leaking when you empty the bath.

Hi there I have uploaded a pic. It seems to be leaking from the side that I have photographed at the top. [/img]
