Latest Just got a text from painter....he came to the house this morning when we were out......yep,he agreed....sills need redone....he will get them done as soon as he can....

Yep...they are masonry sills and we got him from the decent work he did for a neighbour a few doors down. Their sills aren't peeling and their work was done 2 months before ours. To be honest some of the work looks like it has been either not sanded down or sanded to the minimum and just...

We had our the outside of our house painted in May......it is only August and some of the paint on the sills is starting to crack and peel already. A white satin paint was used and I know that it is not as long lasting as gloss....but 3 months ??? To be honest I don't know how well the painter...

Okay....been and gone....and he brought a friend with him this time who was an absolute gentleman. His first words were "it doesn't matter how much the door is out...if it's not pleasing to the eye then it's not pleasing to the eye" Installer could take a leaf out of his book. All...

Yep unscrewed inner side but could not budge outer side...so i will leave it with installer....he has still to come back for his money. Thanks for reply. Edit.....we haven't used the door very much....but just there i tried it and it isn't closing well....it seems to have slipped a wee bit and...

Nope...tried that... letterbox won't move into correct position.

Sorry...old thread....did what you advised after numerous tinkering threats from my wife.....and new burner fitted. Now working fine.....but will now probably die a horrible death !!

May be a silly question but here goes : Just got composite door fitted...great job. We got a local glasier to do the job.....he ordered the door from another manufacturer who had already added the handles etc......so his job was just to install the casing. There is just one problem....the...

:D ....yep the boiler has been in since 1991...and i guess so has the timer....by the sounds of it sunvic must be a dirty word :wink:

Hello I have an oil boiler....radiators and hot water tank gravity fed.....have an immersion heater that doesn't work anymore. When we want to take a shower or bath,wash the dishes we turn on the boiler but have to turn off the radiators to get any decent heat. Is there any way around...
