Thanks .. I hadn't refreshed the page so didn't see your message until I added an extra line to my posting.

A few years ago, we had a built in electric oven and gas hob removed and replaced with an all electric, stand-alone oven. We really wanted to stick with gas, but a couple of major shops were saying gas ovens are hardly available as electric was 'the way to go' Now, the grill is broken, so we...

thanks

I have a dimmer switch in the bedroom and up until recently, all was well. The light bulb stopped working and as I had a candle bulb spare, I fitted this and all was well, although the maximum brightness is far too low. Today I bought two dimmable bulbs but they didn't work .. no light at all...

I want to have uPVC fascia and soffit boards fitted over existing wooden boards on my bungalow, then have dry verge pieces fitted too. Should I be getting quotes from a roofer or a joiner ? thank you

Just spoken to my gas engineer to arrange a boiler service and the fitting of the new thermostat. I had mentioned the TR4 but he suggested a Neomitis unit, a brand I had never heard of before. No doubt he knows 500% more than me but just checking it's OK .. i want to be able to programme 7...

thanks Will the new TR4 (or TR3) work with he old receiver ? Does the controller come with a receiver, or can you just buy the controller ?

Funnily enough I too have a CM927 programmer, which works, but of course I can no longer change any settings, as the display is almost blank, even with new batteries. I've been looking online and the T4R seemed the best choice for my needs, but reading some comments here I'm wondering .. is...

I want to add a second hanging rail to an existing 'flat-pack' wardrobe, which has a series of holes down each side. Are the brackets with metal dowels a standard size .. it seems the hole spacing is about 32mm thanks

We have a Honeywell thermostat / 7-day timer linked to our boiler. Over the past few months, the heating hasn't been on, but of course, it's now getting cold. I noticed the other day, that some of the display is missing, the numbers are getting hard to read (parts missing) but i jusrt assumed...

Did you use the oil-based 'Once' paint, or the quick drying water-based paint ?

I've always been an undercoat 'n gloss type of guy, but I suppose times move on. I have some new glazed doors to paint, as well as skirting boards, architraves etc, so was thinking about water-based undercoat and gloss (white) I was in Wlko and see this plan of action, using their own brand...

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I realise Screwfix etc only sell taps We only have a combi boiler and the same plumber actually installed that, as well as the existing taps. Once my wife picks, I'll send a picture to the plumber just to make sure they are suitable Regards !

For some reason both WHB taps have quite small flow rate .. so maybe they are in need of replacement. We've been putting this off for a few weeks, but as our plumber is coming next week to service our boiler and fire, may as well get the taps replaced too. Shown below is the current 'basic'...

How long should a digital timer last ? Our one had sections of some of the digits missing, so I assumed the battery was low. I've just put in fresh batteries and the problem is still there .. is it time to exchange the unit Model is CM927
