At the moment I on the ground floor, in a moment I will go up to the first floor of my house. Later on I will go into the attic. The boiler is on the wall of the first floor. Why do you ask?

We had our boiler replaced c. 18 months ago and the chap spent a lot longer than 5 minutes on the scaffold. The new boiler had a different layout and the flue for the new one was some distance away. So as well as drilling the hole and fitting the new flue he removed the old one and sealed the...

Do you actually mean a manhole? They are large (18" by 2'6") whereas the covers for water meters are much smaller, no more than 6" on a side. Water meter covers are quite easy to lift.

My understanding is that no mark means it is not recorded on the deeds. There may be some other record, e.g. an exchange of correspondence between the parties. VG.

Never has been for me and a mate (a retired building surveyor) said that it was rare before roughly the 1980s and is far from universal even now.

Or they are both just using the same image, which may have been 'borrowed' from somewhere else or one of these may have taken it from the other. I have seen reviews where what was delivered was not what was shown on the website. With a range of reasons, the shade is different (of course it...

For hard surfaces like patios then something containing benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is the appropriate product. That includes Patio Magic (which I have used) and a number of other products. The branded products are c. 7% BAC and you dilute it down to c. 2%. Patio Magic, etc, are relatively...

But none of the actual studies of glyphosate have reached that conclusion, and there have been dozens & dozens of them. The IARC looks at data and them categorises things with no numerical risk assigned. So everything goes into one of four groups: - Carcinogenic - Probably carcinogenic -...

Something in the diynot software blocks links to Screwfix. The best option is probably to suggest Screwfix and give the product code, in this case 58284.

If only I had mentioned that in my first post

In exactly the same way that the battens at the edge of the panel work. Wedges are extending the side of the panel so that it reaches into the recess in the fence post.

Surely it depends on how near the top the OP can get. A single wedge 6" away from the bottom will be a problem. But one there, another two boards up and another a further two boards will limit the leverage and may be sufficient..

I bought some boards that were indoors but had been stored outside until they were soaked. I did pick over and got the least worst but they were still bad. I separated them to let them dry and, out of curiosity, I weighed them every few days. At the start they were 20kg and it took 49 days for...

The gap narrows lower down so it could be wedged in the bottom half. Of course that leaves the top of the panel unconstrained, whether that is acceptable is up to the OP.

I know that this is a bit of a bodge but it is possible (in some cases is basically the only option) and it can be easy & effective. My garden is on the side of a steep valley and the ground is quite loose, i.e. liable to move. On one boundary the previous owner (a professional builder) put a...

Checkatrade and like sites are paid advertising , i.e. the firm pays to be included. So that is of limited, if any, use. Also firms' own websites are hardly reliable, they have an incentive to remove any unflaattering reviews.
