Yes thanks, I was going to go for the open vent/ heat only type. Thanks for the Vaillant link.

Thanks for answers, boiler is a Glow Worm economy plus. The two connections for the water pipes on on the top of the boiler, one each side. Not sure what a stand off bracket is.

I have a 25 yr old glow worm gas boiler, it is working fine at the moment but realise it will not last forever. I was thinking of replacing it next summer and have researched alot of new boilers. One thing I have noticed is that the gas and water pipe connectors are underneath the boiler on the...

Thanks, I will investigate that.

Thanks for reply, I still had the paperwork somewhere which had the makers name on. I googled them but they went out of business a few yrs ago. I have googled size etc but cannot find anything. As mentioned all that comes up is strips for the bottom of glass shower doors and bath screens.

We have a 25 yr old shower which is enclosed on 3 sides with an aluminium frame and hinged door. There is a ?silicone strip on the inside of the door frame at the bottom to divert water into the tray. It pushes into a slot in the aluminium frame. I take it out to clean it when the shower is...

Thanks but I am a right muppet. Because we did not go out yesterday due to it raining all day the locks were still engaged from the night before. I unlocked the door with the key as I do every morning first thing but as I said the door was not opened, so when I turned the handle up to lock it...

We had a new composite front door about a year ago. I only engage the multipoint locks before going to bed. Last night they did not work, I could lock the lock with the key only. Has something broken inside or is it stuck? I have tried it again this morning but still not engaging.

Sorry for delay. Photo of front of hinge and the 2 adjusters underneath.

Ok will try and upload some. Thanks.

Thanks, will examine top of hinges.

I have looked at previous posts about adjusting upvc doors but cannot see an answer to my query. My back door is catching slightly on the top catch and I think if the door was raised a couple of mm it would sort it. I believe by adjusting the allen screw under the hinges one can do this but...

Sorry I have not thanked you all for replies but have not been too well since posting question. After reading all answers I will check if tank needs a clean out and if so will empty into bucket and after tank clean will 'top up' with some inhibitor. I notice there is for and against this but as...

About 5 yrs ago I had my ch system power flushed and corrosion inhibitor added. Prior to this I had to bleed 2 or 3 of the upstairs radiators on almost a daily basis when heating was on. Since power flush I have not had to do this at all. Would the system benefit from a top up of inhibitor? If...

I have done lots of grunting to no avail!!

I wanted to change a washer on a kitchen mixer tap that is dripping, cold tap, but I cannot get the handle off. The hot side comes off fine. We have had to twist the tap quite hard for some time in order to try and reduce the drip. Have tried gently to lever it from the bottom but did not like...

Thanks for all your advice guys, much appreciated.

I am attempting to change the heating element on my 21 yr old built in oven. I last did it about 5 or 6 yrs ago and noticed then that the earth connector looked corroded. Sure enough it came apart this time. It needed a ring connector and one that had wing type crimping lugs. I found some online...

Hi Gazman, thanks again, had the boss out yesterday and he he did some adjustments but cannot get door seals to butt up with frame at the bottom end on handle side. He said it has got him stumped. Not had this problem before he said. Checked frame and door with spirit level, all ok. Coming...

Thanks fo reply, don't know what flag hinges look like, so not sure on that. Top panel is a plastic one while waiting for glass. Have found out on the web that low threshold upvc doors are not as weatherproof as a door with the higher bottom edge. Would you agree with this? Also there is no drip...
