Mad rab it’s only when the cylinder is heating using the main immersion - when the boost immersion is used there is no dripping. Do you have any ideas what the issue could be?

It's a 600x1000mm side window to the side of the main fixed pane. The handle closes fully but the window is not closed fully against the frame , that's why it has to be pushed from the outside to fit tightly in the frame as it should be. I was hoping it would be a case of tightening a...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experience of installing timbers under a bath to stop creaking? My bath 'creaks' when you stand in it to shower, I was thinking maybe the most effective way to help this would be to have timber supports under the bath ontop of the chipboard flooring and...

Thanks Chrt I will try that. I was thinking more along the lines of there wasnt enough leverage with the handle to retract the part from the keeper and I would somehow have to tighten it up, but i will try the WD40

Hi, A door handle at home has become problematic and I hope someone can help me with a solution. When the handle is fully in the downwards position, the part of the door that sits in the keeper when closed, does not retract fully, and therefore the door does not open properly. Is there...

Thanks securespark, I think there is an amplifier in the loft, I will check tonight. It just says on the screen 'weak or no signal' or 'no channels stored' Would the amplifier be showing a red light if not working or give any indication of being faulty or is it a case of replacing it?

Hi, I have an issue with my tv aerial i hope someone can help me with. The property we have moved into has an aerial on the roof which is cabled down to a splitter box (supposedly under the floor somewhere - I have no idea why) The property is a bungalow. For some reason all the tv...

Thanks guys. The fascia, soffit boards etc are a dark mahogany colour, and the gutters and down pipes are PVC also, colour to match the eaves, ie dark brown. The noise can be quite loud to be honest, to the point of waking you up in the morning on a sunny day. It happens at both the...
