That looks very similar to the finish I am hoping for. Is that open jointed cladding? Do you have any pictures of the finish you got using the lost head nails?

Hi, about to do the exterior of our garden studio clad in Siberian larch planks. We have a shadow gap and the planks will be fastened to battens. What would you recommend for the most unobtrusive finish ? Tongue-Tite Plus Stainless Steel T&G Screw or Lost Head stainless bright nail...

Thanks. If they can be upgraded then great. Assume I will need an engineer?. Can anyone recommend anyone in Kent/Bromley?!

Hello all. Have inherited a rather old Spy system in our new house and managed to hack through a Viper window sensor cable while moving a cupboard. I’ve gel Clipped them together but the keypad is showing a fault (currently rt due to too many attempts at resetting it!). I have powered down the...

Hi peeps. Replacing my cracked outer oven door glass and looking for some high temperature double sided tape to fix the original ally vanity panels and deflector to the replacement glass. the original used a double sided tape for this application. Wondered if anyone can recommend any? Thanks in...

Replaced the PCB and all back online. £40 fix.

I won't be repairing the boiler if it's anything other than the PCB (easy swap out). If I can hear the relays clicking on should I assume they are in fact working so not the solution as posted by Brian? The manual says both lights flashing together are a flue/fan problem. If this is the case...

Hi everyone. My boiler has just inherited the same problem, winter must be on the way. Both lights flashing together. Fans aren't turning on and no ignition. I can replace the PCB for £40 but my concern is that the relays (as mentioned in a earlier post) are in fact fine. When i turn on I'm...

Back from the tea break. Thanks guys il get a plumber in for feedback and take it from there If in doubt, stick a plug in it

Time for a tea break

Right to clarify, firstly TeaTime i posted on 4th, 12 days ago. I have been away with the family. It was half term last week! Sorry I didn't repond sooner but life gets in the way of forums sometimes. The pump was a Salamander RSP75 Running a sink, shower and bath. It has failed around...

Guys, thanks but probably not been clear in what i am asking for. I want to have a new pump fitted but NOT a Salamander. As i said the last 2 have failed. Both fitted by qualified plumbers as per instructions FYI. Can anyone recommend a suitable pump that would do the job ?
