Great thanks

No its just a hanging door that slides. Quite common now. But I may still get a carpenter or trades person in as its a hit out of diy comfort zone.

Thanks for your input, sorry you are confused.

Because I can still have a cupboard or storage against a wall like i can with a curtain. Sliding doors slide....they do not open out.

I bought one of those sliding door kits so I could replace a curtain with a door that I can slide out of the way rather than hang the door and lose some space. I need to put a batten up first as the holes do not marry up on the door frames. In the pic attached I've drawn in the batten (wont be...

Thanks @Harry Bloomfield , now i know what its called i will try to source another one. Will try that first.

When I switch my TV to terrestrial channels i get no signal. I have a powered 'amp' or something in the loft where 3 internal tv cables come in and then the aerial cable from outside comes in. Then on my aerial pole outside I have the internal cable going into a box and the box has a cable...

Hi, I am going to replace some wooden fence posts but probably will only remove the concreate thats directly in front of the post and use those concrete spurs to attach new posts too. Just wandering what tool i need to hire, as in what is it called and what power. I'll probably use HSS as...

Update...seems to not fill most times now, but nudging the assembly will make it work. But now I removed the restrictor from the inlet (the last cistern had one) and the extra presure seems to push through so much faster and does flush. I dont need to nudge the assembly with the restricor out...

Hi all, I've just replaced a cistern, not an easy feet for me but seemed to go ok. I swapped a Dudley for a Dudley Vantage. No leaks but when I flush the water fills really slowly, like it would probably take 10 minutes to fill or longer. But if I knock the assembly on the left (the bits with...

I have a franke kitchen tap and its dripping from the spout, not the top but where the spout goes into the body of the tap. i bought an o-ring and washer kit but have a problem fitting. I can unscrew the part where the spout meets the body and can then wiggle the spout up about an inch so its...

I've read various posts from here and elsewhere, just like to jot down what I'm doing to see if it sounds ok. I am going to purchase a 12ft by 8ft shed but do not want to put down a concreate base in case we sell up in a few years. (plus I'm on a budget !) I am going to dig out the 12ft x 8ft...

I have lived in the property for over 5 years but always put both CH and HW on for heating - just thought that was what I had to do and from your posts it looks that way as question 1 I do not have controls on the HW cylinder and question 2 I do see any of those motorised valves anywhere. Its...

Hi thanks for the response here is some more info. The boiler is a Potterton Kingfisher MF rs 50 The pump is a Grundfos UPS 15-50 by the looks of the writing on it and has a three position switch, the positions are marked I, II and III and its on the middle one. The boiler is in the kitchen...

Hi, with my heating / water system I have to have the HW and CH on for my rads to heat up. Is this normal - been asking around and people have said they can get their rads on by just turning their CH on. My hot water is fine when just the HW is on and the boiler light comes on. If I switch...
