I bought a Dudley Turbo 88. Thanks for the advice.

My 50 year old toilets flush valve has given up. So, I want to replace it. I was looking at a Fluidmaster Pro Lever Dual Flush Valve PRO750UK. My toilet cistern is 13" tall with the lid off, and the flush valve hole in the bottom of the cistern is 2". The height to the bottom of the level is...

I just opened the door and blimey, there is already a rim lock there! So, considering I do not have a key, I could just replace it. And then also put a brenton bolt on there for added security.

I want to add some security to this door since there is no lock on it. The wood strip to the right of that door handle is 36mm wide, and slightly raised prefab concrete after that. The challenge is the narrow width of that wooden strip. How would you deal with this to make it secure?

My goal is to sell the property, possibly early to mid 2026.

Can I ask your reason for saying that?

I have a 1907 4 bedroom detached property with a clay tile roof. There are lots of missing tiles. Do you think the roof is repairable? Opinions welcome.

For the posts, I am assuming you need to sand it a little before putting the stain on? What about the wooden tiles that have gone pale, do I need to sand those too?

I am renovating the exterior of my 1907 property. The wood has not been stained in countless years, so I want to rectify that. You can see from the photos the dark colour at the top of the wooden post in the first image, and how the other post has gotten much lighter. What stain would you...

I read a review where some guy said he thought the docazoo brushes were too soft, but he tried a nylon brush one from draper. It is arriving this afternoon so will have the opportunity to test it out. Not sure about the thread, but the review guy used it so somehow he has gotten it to work. It...

How did you attach an old brush head to the pole? I presume the old brush head had a hole that the docapole inserted into and you just used the gaffa tape to keep it in place? I'm thinking if I had a wooden brush head, would that be too heavy for the end of the docapole.

Yes, I forgot, despite posting about the adaptor earlier. Good point!

I think the issue is that standard extension poles over here use the EU standard, while the docapole has US standards.

That looks ideal, but does it fit the docapole? The docapole uses a US sized thread, as opposed to EU sizes. I cannot see any information on the thread size.

I bought a docapole and also want to scrape moss off the roof. It is quite thick moss. I'm trying to work out how to attach a scraper with gaffer tape to the pole. Any suggestions? I have come across an adapter that I hope fits the docapole, which converts from acme to euro thread. Any ideas...
