Yeah the company who put them in about 5 years ago. We used to call them out and they'd fix them quickly. I think you are correct about the hinges hence why I wondered if it was simple then I could just do it myself. I hate bothering trades people for simple jobs.

Hi, These doors had a tendency to sag every year. The shed is wooden so I guess expands with the seasons. I had them fixed but then they'd drop again. I started putting those blow ups under the doors when I needed the doors open which helped a lot. Anyway, it's becoming problematic again to...

Here's a close up of the part I need. Can anyone help/advise me?

Hi, I had some blinds fitted about 8 years and some of the clips have broken away from the arms. I called up Thomas Sanderson (now Hilary's I believe) for some guidance. They refused to help as they said they were out of guarantee (lifetime guarantee anyone?) and the old company doesn't exist...

Thanks guys. The security bit isn't too much of an issue to be fair, nothing to steal round here. The light on when that area is triggered is fine.

Thanks. Might be price overkill for my needs but do you have a link?

Hi, I want to replace our outside light. It's mains powered and the switch is in the house. It has motion detection so it comes on when it detects any movement in the garden which means it's useless as it comes on a lot during the night plus it's so shabby. Ideally I'd like one with multi...

No they don't flower. Should I cut away the brown? No pets in this house either.

Hi, This border plants (no idea on what they are) have dead ends. I'm not sure if this is a natural thing or spill over from patio magic cleaner that I use once a year. Can someone give me advice on how to make them look healthier and more green? TIA

Sadly, not my doing! I would have used steel pins. You should see the cedar panel fence the other side....... Yeah, a wire frame would work thanks but just wondered if any could climb without man made help.

HI, Difficult to see in winter but there's a young Virginia creeper doing well on the back wall. We had an idea that another creeper might compliment it growing up the sides of the door of the shed. The sun is coming from the same direction so it should do as well as the Virginia creeper. The...

Good news. I went to Wickes to get a multi tool but the guy said that a junior hacksaw would do it. I was dubious but a tenner for one and spare blades has done the job. Thanks guys for your inputs.

Hacksaw won't work as it can't get low enough due to the nobbly bit at the end. Anyway, you can't push the screw up enough to get enough space between the head and the basin either. I'll go look for a multi tool or similar, thanks guys. Scabby hacksaw left by old builders.

Hi, I'm a novice trying to replace a loo seat. It's got corroded and I'm just left with these screws where the bolt is seized up (wd40 does nothing). There's no space either underneath or on top for my hack saw. They wont break as they aren't corroded enough. It's like I need bolt cutters but...

Good point. TV is 17kg and wall mount says it supports up to 45kg.
