Yes start by scrapping and grinding it all off and see what you find

That opening is crying out for a new wood burning stove. Maybe try and use the tiles on the wall to replace the hearth tiles. Then clean up all the brick work. You need need to quick aggressively sand or grind all the cement and dirt off the brick work and then repoint but it would...

just a light hearted post - not to be taken literally.

nah - will be fine.

ah ok. You could give it a try - the 15mm one tho.

I’d remove the push fit straight connector and the push fit elbow and replace with solvent weld joints. Much more reliable over time.

The method is as you described. No quick fix or hacks.

I’m fairly sure copper push fittings cannot be removed non destructively - you need to cut them out. However if the leak is where those ribbed pipes meet the isolation valves then, assuming a turn with a spanner does not resolve the leak, I would leave the tap connectors all in place and just...

You won’t find any official how-to manual for the exact model but it’s certainly a very easy fix and manageable even for the a junior diyer. Most tumble dryers are more or less the same design/layout. Pull it out and pop the back cover off. the heating element is probably right there then...

Was probably rubbish paint combined with time and weather. Just scrape back get some high quality masonary paint, slap it on and the job is a good un.

There is no issue with taking 20mm off each side. Get the 762s
