It does - the brass thumbwheel behind the trigger, and that's what I do too

I've had really good experience with this. https://www.cwberry.com/concept-foam-gun Pricey, but strips down easily if it does get clogged. I use it infrequently and leave a can on for 2-3 months at a time. I do sandpaper the end of the brass nozzle occasionally to get a good clean squirt, and it...

Personally I would avoid black uPVC altogether. The thermal expansion of uPVC is huge (0.07-0.08mm/m/degree), and black windows just get hotter which exacerbates the problem. e.g. a 1m tall window, with a 50 degree range (say -10 in a very cold winter, to a surface temp of 40 degrees with the...

Whatever you do, you don't need to lose them. They will be really hard encaustic tiles. Photograph them, lift them, clean them up (which can be a fair bit of work - we did ours with a rotating wire brush to get mortar remnants off) and then relay them. They are definitely worth keeping. Likely...

Originally cavity walls were designed to isolate the joist ends from the wetter outside wall so they didn't rot off - i.e. nothing to do with insulation. Then, in the era of lime mortar and plaster, and breathable materials, cavity walls were designed with airbricks in to the cavity so that any...

Definitely! :ROFLMAO:

You can't change physics. The radiator creates airflow through convection. Obviously the air drawn over the back of the radiator is humid enough, and the wall is cold enough for the wall to be below the dew point so you're getting liquid condensation and mould. You can only increase the wall...

It's 2009, so whatever happened it's way past enforcement. Use your own eyes, and also get a decent survey done. If it all looks good and you like it, go ahead with an indemnity if your BS insist. If you are concerned, walk away - lots of other properties out there. Whether you get a sign-off...

Sounds like a result, although obviously hassle. Good on the company for at least taking ownership.

Frankly, that is cobblers up until someone shows me the wording from an actual insurance policy that states this exclusion for 20 year old works. It certainly isn't in mine. And if an extension is looking good with no cracking after 20 years, I think it's fair to say it's OK. We bought a very...

Those internal micro cracks by the latch show a lack of attention to detail, but TBH are unlikely to be detrimental to performance - I doubt the latches will fall off! Even so, I expect you paid a lot of money and have every right to expect a perfect product. Some screws are self-drilling but...

Looks like however they have made the joint has split the rail. Send the pictures to the MD at the company and ask if he is happy with this because you are not. They have a nice website. I suspect they won't want those pix against their name. Edit your post to remove it for now, and tell them...

It's 20 years ago!. Are you bothered? certainly the LA won't be, so this is just a tick-box exercise. As long as it surveys OK, take the path of least resistance - maybe just accepting the conveyancer says it's OK, or maybe an indemnity if necessary (a waste of time and money, but sometimes...

yes
