I need to replace some of the bottom rollers on my sliding mirror doors. Using google lens I can see a couple of products that look like mine. The closest visually is a Britannia bottom roller but I’ve also seen a Stanley product that looks like it should fit. Are these parts interchangeable...

I’ve checked all the ground floor sockets from both rings. One lot of sockets is working ok now and everything else on the ground floor is unplugged, sockets switched off. There is an outside socket which had an extension lead, I have removed it and it’s now being used on the good ring to power...

I’ve been running a grundfoss neg head whole house pump for a number of years with no problem until recently. When a tap or shower is turned off the pump continues to run. I thought I would try and diagnose without removing the pump. Firstly I shut off both outlets to eliminate leaks in the...

I need to replace a thermostatic bar shower valve with inlets at 160mm centers. Online I can only find them with 150mm centers. Does anyone still make them?

I just bought a wall mounted patio heater on Amazon advertised as 800w. When it arrived I found it had no rating plate on it. The instruction booklet said 110/230v 800/1500w so I read that as 800@110 and 1500@240. I decided to return the item and although I have been offered a no quibble...
