I couldn't find an adapter I could touch and feel before I bought so improvised with an old brush head that I attached some metal strips to and then attached to docopole with good old gaffa tape.

Hi David, I bought the Docapole and it does the job brilliantly thanks. I found the brush not hard enough so improvised a scraper using an old brush head with some metal strip attached and good old gaffer tape. I need to find an ACME to UK thread adapter to make things a bit more secure but in...

Thanks for the advice and link. I appreciate it. Strangely at the moment all the moss is rolling off the roof. Could be the weather or seagulls pecking at it

Thanks. That's a very good point. Guys on the videos make it look easy. Wish I could hang up my boots when it comes to roof and gutter work but round here a genuine pro is hard to find

We've got a bit of moss on a house we just moved into and I want to keep on top of it. I've seen the videos on YouTube where telescopic poles and scrapers are used and there seems to be dozens for sale on the interenet but wanted to know if anyone had bought something they could recommend...

Very Very much appreciated. Thank you

I've got a small leak from what looks like a Lusso radiator valve. See attached pic. I want to take the cap off to fix it but can't find instructions on how to get to the spigot/gland/nut Does it pull off/wind all the way out/or have an end cap that should be prised off? Thanks for all...

Thanks Terry , it was air in the system. Its only when you call your insurer that you find out the boiler cover you are paying for is as useful as a chocolate tea pot. So I drained down and refilled carefully after a spell of X400 etc. and clanking disappeared. I think initial problem was with...

Yes it's full and ball cock seems to be operating. Tank is clear water but nasty orange sediment in it. I haven't put any anti corrosion in for a few years (yeh I know) could there be crap in the system? Boiler was serviced in summer and engineer said she was running fine for something of that...

Thanks for taking an interest Terry. I've attached a pic of the drain valve location. Yeh rads and HW are fine. Boiler isn't locking out , just knocking

Hello Our British Gas 330 condensing boiler in an open vented system sounds like it has air in it and I want to bleed it out. There is a drain valve in the pipework above the boiler and I attached a hose and opened the valve. Nothing came out, neither air or water. The YouTube vid I was...

Thanks Andy

Interesting you say that . There was a very old dead one under there and a load of droppings when they moved in last year. They cleared it all out. Yesterday he rodded all the drains and are now clear of all the sludge in them. We are going to put a trap down under the floorboards to see if...

Thanks for taking an interest Loofah. There is terrible stench that comes and goes in downstairs front room. He's had floorboards up and nothing amis. An old guy lived and died in the property before and it is in a poor state. He's run hoses down all the manholes , flushed loo etc and all seems...
