We're currently attempting a renovation of part of our garden. However, one of the biggest stumbling blocks is one side where there is no fence or screen. The neighbour has some conifers which look awful so I want to put up a fence between them. However, money is a little short (isn't it...

Good morning. I wonder if anyone could advise on a project I'm about to embark on. We have just moved a 7'x5' shed off it's base and are looking to install an 8'5" x 6' 3" greenhouse in the space it occupied. The whole of the area is over an existing sloping hardstanding. Where the shed...

The rotating the head bit was me being a bit thick last night. All sorted now. I just changed the title and first post so as to not have to start a new thread. System was cleaned at the end of the summer so I guess I will be taking a trip back for a new pump.

Just bumping this one up for the new question.

Absolutely right! I feel quite stupid now, having lost the ability to recognise an allen bolt. Now what does an allen key look like? :oops: Cheers, all fixed.

It's a Pegler Terrier from Screwfix. Doesn't look like it can be rotated because I wondered if that was the case. I'll take another look though.

Just changed the title of this post so it reflects another issue. I have installed a new Pegler Terrier central heating pump to replace a broken Myson Unit Five. After installing and bleeding I'm not really happy with the noise given out. I'm sure I've got rid of all the air but it still...

Hindsight is a wonderful thing........as this tale will tell. We put down a laminate floor in our spare bedroom a couple of years ago and at the time decided to not worry about laying it over where the central heating pump was. We thought the pump would have more years of service left than...

Forgot to say. The laminate planks are running parallel to the door way.

Good morning. I'm just about to lay a new laminate floor and it's something I've not done before. We're joining it to carpet and I'd purchased a Z shape door bar with carpet gripper on one side to do the join at the door. However, I've come to start and realise it won't work. I've cut...

I'm currently trying to cover some dark coloured walls with white matt emulsion prior to a change of colour. I've now down three coats on one section and the finish isn't exactly great. Under day light the finish seems fine but in the evening the finish appears really patchy from certain...

Hi there. Wondered if anyone could suggest a solution to my problem. We're just redecorated our hallway and unfortunately one feature we have is two central heating pipes running up the wall behind the door, which need to be covered. I've bought some Talon PVC pipe covers (2 x 15mm type)...

Thanks. I thought so. I think the original switch is wired as described as the second switch is upside down compared to the first so it allowed for a shorter link cable.

I recently removed a light switch to allow for a reskim of the walls and have since lost the diagram of how to reconnect. I have the old switch and so can draw some conclusions of how it was done. Basically, there are two sets of lights controlled from one two gang, one way switch. There is...

We recently had our lounge reskimmed and then painted it with a mist coat of watered down white emulsion. After meticulously going over all the little imperfections left we did two coats of a light cream colour and then set about painting a feature wall with a deep red. Realising we needed...
