Thank you for the replies. Unfortunately I don't think the plastic parts are relevant to the issue after looking into it more. Essentially, the window won't close properly / securely when the handled is turned - you can just push it open. It's not 'latching' at all.. I've uploaded a video...

Hi, I'm having an issue closing a window properly and on closer inspection it appears two pieces of plastic that go either side (apologises I have no idea what these are called!) are missing. These are present on my other windows and enable the window to be pulled in & close and lock. Would...

Thanks for your insight. Very good tips, especially the one regarding using builders adhesive when setting the plugs. Will give that a try. I've just purchased a couple of 1m long rails so once they turn up will give it a go! Many thanks

Super, thanks for all your advice! :)

Ok great, thanks that makes sense. I've been reading about possibly getting specialist plugs specifically designed for thermalite but in your opinion do you think normal brown plugs will suffice? Assume a 50mm length screw would be ok for this too..

Ok great that's very helpful. Would you recommend one longer rail for added strength or are smaller ones ok? Assume the fixings already on the cupboard simply fix onto these? Sorry if it's stating the obvious! Much appreciated.

Hi, I'd like to put a spare kitchen cabinet up in my garage for extra storage. It has the following fixing as per the photos. Can anyone kindly advise what wall bracket/fixing I'd need in order to hang this securely to the brick wall? Many Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to utilise my single garage space by part boarding the top section as per the pictures for a few domestic items (Xmas decorations, old clothes, a few books etc). Nothing too heavy at all. I'm a bit of a DIY novice but want to give it a go so is there a way of doing this safely...

Hello - I have two blind holes on my toilet pan in which there are well nuts that are used to attach the toilet seat. Recently the seat became loose so I removed one well nut but can't seem to shift the other. When trying to screw it out, the bolt just turns and nothing happens (the fitting...
