    Alternative to gravity fed shower

    Just had our en suite and main bathroom refurbished having had electric showers for 10 years - acceptable flow in summer months, but next to useless in winter. I have the same loft tank, downstairs boiler and tank in the airing cupboard layout. Went for a Stuart Turner twin pump and cheap...

    Decoratively enclosing stuff on top of a cupboard

    Old shower door runner help/advice

    We have two identical shower cubicles that are original to the house we bought - they are about 16 years old. Both have had most of the wheels 'repaired' by me over the past 2 years - the plastic wheels split with age and lose their ball bearings accordingly. I've managed to repair all of...

    The heating has been on 24 hrs since November. Setting the thermostat to about 11 overnight/during the day and the rads stay lukewarm and keep the house mild. Set to about 14 when we're around and she is comfortable and I'm in a t-shirt. At 15 the house should be unbearable and even she...

    Fridge Door seal or gasket option

    S-I-L noticed her Beko Fridge Freezer [the top fridge part] was struggling to keep cold even at max setting. Had a quick look and noticed the bottom of the fridge door seal had a 3 inch split in it. Seems easy enough to change. Went to buy a new door seal and several sites are offering a...

    Hoover Vacuum Cleaner question

    Sir Echo - did you solve your issue? Very similar to my m-i-l Hoover the One. No blockage - all tubing/cabling removed - still the same - speeds up then slows down loop. Fitted a new cable with a terminal block as close to the rear entry point as I could - made no difference. Don't...
