Ah I see. The cable isn't interfering with the float valve though as it's normally on the other side, and the toilet doesn't refil even if I've lifted the lid and everything is out of the way when I flush. Looks like a replacement of B & E may be needed?

Thanks Rosie. Can I ask why that needs to be done? Was it installed the wrong way around? The flap thing at the bottom of E def isn't resealing properly as I managed to have a feel around and could push it down and shut properly.

Hi all. I have a problem with my loo. It was fitted about ten months ago and has been fine up til about 2 weeks ago. It was a cheap trade screwfix one. Problem is toilet is running after long flush. (short flush was ok, but that has stopped working now) The push button won't rise up...

Hi, thanks. So do I need to be pushing the blade into the side where I have arrowed (but in the middle) or the part of the bead next to the glass? Any do I really need to force it in there? I'm worried about breaking something. Many thanks.

Hi Could someone let me know if I'm trying to remove the beading on this door in the right place. I've marked where I am trying to get the blade into, but it's extremely tightly fitted, and I'm getting nowhere. Do I need to use a fair amount of wellie?

In the last week (since the start of this really cold weather) my shower only gets warm at best. Before this I was having piping hot showers. I have a combi boiler and the water to the kitchen and the bathroom basin is fine, lovely and hot. The shower is a Mira element and stands above...

Thanks all for your suggestions. The worktop is square edge. The friend who did is 120 odd miles away but he'll be up again in a month so I'll ask him to either help with the offcuts or use an oak strip.

Hi I've come to a complete stop in installing my kitchen, and can't go any further until I solve my problem. I have oak worktops which are lovely. A friend visited to cut them to size (to fit the width of the units exactly), and he did a really nice job. The problem is that I failed to...
