Hello, Please can someone recommend suitable products for use on untreased shiplap wood for use on a summerhouse. Whilst my builer was under the instruction to obtain pressure treated, non treated has turned up. Whilst that is an issue in itself, I'm in the situation where I need to treat the...

Hi, The locking mechanism on my composite door is not withdrawing fully back into the door frame when the handle is turned down to open the door. To bring the lock 'hooks' back into the door I have unscrewed the handles and used the bottom spindle square to fully release and be able to open...

Hello, What is the name/brand of the external door hinge in the picture? The door has dropped so assume the horizontal adjustment needs pulling in on the top hinge. Is the bottom adjustment the change to make flush with seal? Many thanks

Hi, Over the last day we've noticed the HW is smelling likes eggs. We have a Swift Flow 100 Combi which was serviced a month ago. The engineer cleaned out the fan which was caked in crust. Apart from that, a routine service. It's been fine since the service and not even sure it's anything...
