I would think twice before removing a functioning chimney. In a world where energy resources are becoming increasingly strained in makes sense to have a working chimney and a few bags of coal available for as a contingency.

You just look around the accommodation and identify what any reasonable person would consider to be a hazard. Building regs are your friend in that respect. For example a ladder to a hay loft might be a cyclists dream accommodation but if a sozzled cyclists falls through the hole during the...

PLI is good good starting point but you would need to carry out a risk assessment on the accommodation to identify and mitigate any pre-existing hazards as insurance would likely not cover any claims relating to those.

If you allow people to stay in the buildings then the buildings would need to comply with building regs and also having some form of public liability insurance in place might be a good idea.

There are several types of silicon sealant each used for different applications. Are you using the correct one?

I have some seriously large laurel, fir and rhododendron bushes and hedges and use a similar tool to yours, but never had much luck with the hedge trimmer attachment. I just use the chainsaw attachment for everything.

I tried to get quotes to remove old Marley tiles and replace with modern vinyl tiles. The moment the tilers realised the Marley tiles were laid on bitumen they just didn't want to know. In the end I did it myself. The tiles came up easily and I then sealed the bitumen with SBR and used...

Maybe worth checking the evaporator isn't full of gunge as can happen.

If you have visible water vapour swirling around the bottom of the boiler then it could be a leak from one of the water pipe connections.

If once you have got it clean you use a window squeegee to wipe it down after every shower then the problem should not re-occur.

You can modify a single base unit to accommodate a hob but not a straightforward job.

Mine has a water bar fitted.

You would need to hire a qualified surveyor to decide what the problem is and who is responsible for fixing it. You would need the owners agreement for this and if unreasonably withheld then mediation maybe might be the next move.

A lot of the tools you buy these days are brilliant if you just want to hang them on a pegboard in the garage to impress the neighbours but a different matter if you actually try to use them.

I use tools like that all the time for model making but have never needed them for any other type of task.

It's usually fitted to the screen on the other side (the wet side) to that shown in your photo and is a 'C' shaped translucent vertical nylon strip that sits between the fixed and moving parts of the screen. I haven't actually seen a seal a seal fitted where you you indicate in your photo.

Best way is to use a vernier calliper to measure the dimensions of the old cartridge and compare that to the detailed dimensional sketches on cartridge manufacturers/sellers websites although getting a combination of the right number of splines and correct dimensions may not be possible.

Responsibility for a boundary doesn't mean responsible for a fence that is erected on it. Generally a fence belongs to the person who paid for it but that doesn't impose any obligation on them to maintain it unless there is a specific covenant to that effect in the title.

Thanks for the replies. This wet belt thing is new to me and difficult to understand, from what I have read, how often it needs to be replaced. Anyone any idea what a sensible life expectancy would be for a wet belt fitted this 4 year old Fiesta Ecoboost with 10K on the clock?

Hi there Just a quick question here about Ford servicing. The missus has a FORD FIESTA TITANIUM ECOBOOST 100 that is coming up to 4 years old. It has 10,000 miles on the clock and is due a service. So a bit confused. On their website Ford talk about a choice of a 'scheduled service' or...
