Wow it's that all, I knew 28 sounded about. I'm not going to hold the pressure washer over the joints anyway

Hi all I'm going to jet wash our driveway, never been done in 10 years, I've messaged it 16mlong by7m at it's wildest. Looking online some say 25kg covers 20 to 30m2 when the paving has been jet washed, others I guess are basing it on newly laid. Cheapest is Wickes at 20kg, they state 4m2 per...

how can these gate companies get away with doing something like that, thats not legal then. I will ask the company tomorrow what they suggest.

thanks, there are some sensors that stop the gate on each end post about 2ft off the ground. Ive got a gate company coming round tomorrow to take a look. I had another company round today and they said that they could lift the gate up, take the wheels off and either put packers under the...

it needs about 1mm to clear the track, ive tested it with the epoxy resin putty and moved up and down fine, the wheel goes around the track alittle aswell so i not lifting it very high to come off the track the wheel has no adjustment to it that i can see

i have spoken to a gate company thats going to try to visit next week, shared some pictures, think its going to be expensive '' I can see your issue! The track has been laid with the road and not level. This is what is likely causing the issue. With tracked sliding gates the track needs to be...

its cemented into the ground, has been fine for a year or two. i was hoping that something temp on the track top could lift it just slightly but the epoxy idea didnt work ive tried some thin aluminium but i would need to glue that to the track and i think im just going to bodge it further

I can, its catching the track just at the front edge of the gate as it goes up and down the driveway so i was assuming it might be the track has moved or ground has moved. i have a manual for the DEA motor but didn't think there would be much adjustment on it to move the gate up or down

the driveway is on a slight slope so the track is running down the driveway from right to left

Afternoon all, our gate is now catching the track very slightly sometimes its goes over the track other days its stuck and wont open and close, a light push and it will work. I used some steel epoxy last week and just very thinly put it on the area where the wheel was when the bottom caught the...

I sent the clock on ours and the light still doesnt work. We have just had to use it without the light.

thanks, I will see if there is a type of collapsible ones that I can remove the fitting and squeeze them though the hole in the ceiling.

morning all, we had a extension built in the summer so this is our first winter with it. we had insulation fitted, but where the downlights have been installed there is a draft coming through the lights (where they have been moved to show the light on a wall), how can i insulate above these to...

thankyou for your replies, its a solid concrete floor i cranked up the heating to 22deg last night and the room was alot warmer than previously, plus i had the heating on during the day so the room was not so cold to start off with. was thinking maybe a panel heater on the the other side of...

lol thanks, no bi fold doors on this extension, a skylight but no draughts from that at all. Perhaps need to bump the heat up as 21deg on the thermostat isnt cutting it
