We had our house internal doors replaced approximately 8 years ago with veneered doors, each having three ZOO ball bearing hinges, top, middle and bottom. On a few of the doors, the top hinge has worn on several occasions, with the hinge having excess play, causing the door to lean and catch on...

Thanks for the prompt reply, do you have any idea what to use to house the ends in please? I have previously used a WISKA box but the gland nut doesn't go small enough. All the other things I have seen on Amazon are for connecting one to one or more cables.

Hi, I have a string of 240V LED garden hanging bulbs which I need to shorten and seek advice on how to safely terminate the end please. The cable is 2 core "flat" cable and quite small. The only thing I can think of is an outdoor junction box, making a small nick in one of the bottom seals and...

I think a Zano module may offer a start brightness, together with minimum and maximum. I fitted one. Awhile ago and a quick look at the product technical set states that in point 7. You will, should you buy one ensure the correct load as one is from 0W and another from 5W I think. There are...

I wasn't aware of not leaving washing machines or dishwashers unattended is this common practice? I often put the dishwasher on deliberately when we go out as I don't like the noise. Similarly, I don't like the noise of the washing machine but tend to be in as the clothes need to be taken out to...

Edited following rethink. Yes, definitely insulated. Unfortunately, we had issues with the roof leaking due to the low pitch being too low. We had it converted to a warm roof which has a large amount of insulation on it and there's the remainder of the existing insulation inside below the...

Thanks for the advice, I had considered a small usb powered fan for underneath the radiator, particularly this type as small form and hopefully not too noisy.

I'm not sure to be honest, it's about 180cm wide, 60cm tall and double thickness. It does get extremely hot and seems to lose little heat either end. The extension is reasonably sized, it also incorporates the small kitchen dining room so has a task on its hands. Part of the problem is the...

Thanks, but my thoughts are leaving it set to 5 was effectively leaving it open? I could hopefully just take off the head.

Thanks, the kitchen TRV is set to 5. The reasoning behind having the wireless thermostat in the kitchen was that it takes a long time to rise in temperature and maintain it, I thought it was better to do it that way. Also, I have set the overnight setting down to 14.5 degrees to protect the...

Thanks for the reply, I see your point and have upped the target temperature for the kitchen a little and will review.

For info, the thermostat is a Honeywell T6R.

Hi, We have TRV on every radiator in our house with the exception of the bathroom radiator. We have a wireless thermostat sat in kitchen extension as it's the (second) coldest room, the radiator TRV is set to 5. Every other room gets to temperature quickly, therefore the kitchen temperature...

We have a 4 foot old style tube light which had an approximate 32w fluorescent tube which I have replaced with an LED tube using 16W. It seems just as bright but the issue, as before, is the spread of light as it's centrally mounted, therefore working either end creates shadows. Depending on...

We had an issue with the front door sensor triggering the alarm on a couple of occasions, as if we had just opened the door and it went into the phase the panel tone countdown pre alarm. As it was early, I just put the code in and left it off. I had a visit from an alarm installer who traced...
