Thanks Ken Yeah it a weird one for certain, as far as we're aware there's nothing in the bottom track (We're both firmly in agreement with the persil adverts and always keep away from children ), we can get it to tilt but just can't get the mechanism that releases the bottom to allow it to...

Hi Ken Thanks for the concern, thankfully we still have access to the rear of the property, theres no sign of attempted forced entry, we just need to try and the damn thing open nownto try and repair it, I'm just wondering if a locksmith would be able to unjam the slide mechanism so we can at...

Hi Came home this afternoon and the tilt and slide patio door wouldn't open. Ordinarily the hand is up, unlock and turn it anti clockwise and the door will open. This time the handle wouldn't turn anti clockwise but would only turn clockwise. We managed to get it to tilt but cannot get it open...

the original single story kitchen extension (which has a polycarbonate roof) has planning permission and has a completion certificate from the council building control office confirming that it complies with building regs for use as a kitchen which is what the extension was built for. We have...

planning permission was applied for to extend the kitchen via a conservatory extension which was approved by the local council...it was then built before we bought the property.....please god all i would like to know is can i put a hob under a polycarbonate roof........the extension already has...

The conservatory extension to the kitchen has been signed off with full planning permission.......the question is....can i put a cooker and or a hob under the polycarbonate roofing....i plan to install an extractor hood over the hob....just dont want it to face melting when i cook chips...........

Hi all Got a bit of a dilemma. Our house is old 1930's build with a very small kitchen. The previous owner extended by way of a conservatory (triple wall polycarbonate roof). The existing cooker / hob is in the old brick built part of the house. Are there any restrictions or issues with...

Sorry but what is a P I T A

I am sorry if I have offended any tradesmen that are reviewing this post and my original posts were not meant as such....... I have always had quite a dry sense of humour and automatically expect everyone else to get the " joke" I am by no means implying that everyone in the plumbing...

I agree and will be reading the quote from the BG man closely. I have been advised what an independant plumber can get the equipment we have asked for, for. The pipework on the old boiler comes in at the same point as the new boiler, the electricity is already there as is the gas feed. I...

He's made his fortune in the plumbing business and is off to europe for 3 months in his motorhome ( Can't blame the lad really) and Cousin is up to his eyes in work. I'm still waiting for the written quote from BG but should have it tomorrow.....Just thought it seemed excessive

Bearing in mind that my Step Dad and his son are both qualified Corgi registered plumbers and they are still laughing

Ok Guys hope you are ready for this..................... Had British Gas guy come round today to quote for a boiler replacement. Bearing in mind this is for a boiler replacement ONLY (Asked for Vailiant combi energy efficient doome good type thing)....Take one out put on in sort of...
