I am about to replace the felt on a shed roof and have been led a merry dance around the subject of lap adhesive. Some say that a "proper" adhesive that cures is best and others say that a mastic that never really dries is best. As I am using battens to secure it anyway (high winds here) I...

Yes, I see, thank you. No danger of electrocution?

Yes, that's it. The element is ok except that the clip to the support bar has come off. Can I just replace the clip?

Further to this situation, I had a fantastic firm called UFH Services Ltd., in who chipped-up a tiny bit of tile and wall and put in two new sensors - magic!

Hi, The grill element on my oven has dropped down on one side because a couple of the small clips that held it in place have failed. Is there anything I can do? Thank you.

I see but how do you know exactly where the heating wire is?

Basically, that he's happy to have a bash at repairing it but can't guarantee a successful outcome.

Yup. I just looked at the website and it seems that it did come with a conduit!

The manufacturer (DEVImat) simply say that the sensor must be replaced. Apparently, it was supposed to have been laid in a conduit for easy replacement!!! Yes, I roughly know where it is but can a tile be taken-up without damaging the heating element? I'm a reasonable DIYer but this all sounds a...

The floor sensor in the newly laid electric underfloor heating has failed! I can't get it out as it's in the adhesive and everyone says that you HAVE TO HAVE one. The whole floor is laid with tiles. Is there anything that I can do other than rip it all up and start again!? Thanks.

Oh. I thought that you were supposed to un-reel all of it every time? To stop heat build-up or something. Hmmm. :oops:

Yes, there's a drain pipe near it that has gone grey.

Ah ha! Thank you for that. I tried it and it works!!, Can't see the point though. :?

Cheers. If you don't hear from me again ...

Ah right cheers. I guess my father-in-law will know how to use it properly!

Hi, Thanks all. I bought that one. It seems a bit erratic though. It "works" on most things but not the cable from the kettle to the socket ... even when the kettle is definitely on! Then, if I hold it in a certain way, it does work! Is this why they are "dangerous" or do I have a dodgy...

I've had an extension reel for years and it has this plastic thing on it: I've just bought a new reel and it has one too !!! What's it for? :? Cheers.

Hi, Thanks for all the help. Here it is installed! BTW is there any paint that will stick to the lower brown bit to make it black?
