Yes.. The strip was under the door. When the door was changed, they left it and I assumed it was just some trim, but when I cut it out, I realised it was covering the cavity.. I didn't really have much choice to remove it as it was too thick to tile over... But with hindsight, I might have left...

I did consider this, but the cavity is far from straight and is different depths, so it will be hard, if not impossible to get insulation board in.. Perhaps I could put it in in smaller pieces, but it didn't seem like a stable surface to tile over.. That said, its only the last 2" upto the door...

I have just had new bifolds fitted and because I want to tile right up to the door, I cut out what I thought was some some trim, so the tiler can get right up to the door. Turned out, this "trim" covered the cavity, and I believe it is a "cavity closer", which I have mostly removed (rightly or...

I have a LOT of windows and atleast 1/2 of the hinges have failed to date resulting in windows that don't close.. The the same story across the estate with all of the neighbours complaining about the same thing.. Clearly the developers cut corners when it came to the windows. When I moved in...

After buying a 12 year old house a while back, I am doing a deep clean of the shower... There is a clear trim on the OUTSIDE which is purely cosmetic and offers little value than plugging a slot in the extrusion which has gone hard and yellow and I would like to replace it. Problem is I can't...

Can I ask one last question.. After swapping the valves about, I have found a combination where they all seem to seal.. As a test, I tied off the fill valve, marked and line and left it.. and the water level in 'faulty' valve has dropped perhaps 5mm in 24 hours... But all of the toilets have...

Genuine seal.. I am waiting for a reply from the supplier.. As you say, perhaps its just a bad seal... When you say "bayonet" clip, you mean the round piece with a ring of 6 or 8 clips which told the seal to the valve? I was thinking the same, but its clicks in really positively and it looks...

I assumed it was the mating surface in the cistern, but the fault follows the valve/seal not the cistern.. So it must be the valve or the seal.. The silicon seal looks perfect.. Totally smooth.. No issues at all but I did think about some silicon grease.. As for the leak.. Don't talk about...

I have 4 identical toilets (which have the Ideal Standard SV92667 Flush Valve) all of which have all had their share of problems over the years due to shoddy installation and wear and tear. Over time, I have removed the cisterns.. Installed new close couple screws (Which were sticks of rust)...

Looks like I fixed it.. There is a setting under the "Keypad Menu" regarding the Backlight.. It was set to 0 where it goes off after 30 seconds.. I changed it to 1 and its on all the time now. This is curious as I 100% didn't change this.. Its a totally different menu which I didn't know...

I went back and reversed all of the changes that I had made and I still can't get the display to stay on.. I am starting to think that it always timed out to a blank screen, but my partner is 100% sure it didn't (and I tend to agree with her). Its not the end of the world, but I would like to...

I did change my hall PIR (where the keypad is) from 8 (Entry Route) to 7 (Final Exit). I am not 100% sure if this was the right thing to do, but it works now. Before I did this, the alarm would activate the moment I opened the front door and was visible to the PIR.. But now I get a countdown...

I was 100% sure that it was always on before.. Absolutely convinced that it always had the blue light in the top corner showing "tag" and something on the display. Without it, I can't see where to swip the tag in the dark... I know you can wake it up by pressing a button, but you have to pull...

This week I discovered the Engineer code for my Euro 46 and was finally able to make some changes to how it works in my environment (the previous owner set it with the app, where as I am using the keypad). Everything is great now, except for one thing.. The display keeps going off as if its...

Ignore this.. After much reading and then trying various settings I have it cracked. I can now come in.. The PIR sees me and I get a 10 second countdown.. I can also leave the house the via the back door and I can enter the house by the back door and get the same countdown as the PIR.. So I am...
