Hi All, well I still think it was an emergency situation regardless of the wording and I'll defo be going to the ombudsman's on it. I've got nothing to lose other than my own time. It appears our premiums are going towards hiring people to squirm out of paying and declining pay-outs, pathetic...

Its a MK plastic version. Ironically this unit was replaced sometime ago via the insurance. The main feeds coming into that fuse box at the time got loose, and I remember the Engineer arguing with the insurance company that it had to be replaced and the onus would be on them if they didn't...

Its a complete an utter joke guys. I've lodged the complaint and expect I'll be going to the ombudsman on this one. I won't let this one go, so happy to waste my time on it. What is the point of any insurance if they will just wiggle out of it - this was clearly an emergency. So basically all...

Hi, Last night, there was a funny smell in the house, and when we traced it back to the source, it was coming from the fuse box. It was melting at the top. We then immediately switched the power off. Having home emergency cover with the Halifax we then made the call for someone to come out...

It is defo dropped. You may not be able to see it clearly from the pictures, in real life you can see that the diagonal markings on the door to the frame are out. I put as many spacers as I could fit to pack it, and even put a dollop of silicone to stop any future movement. I didn't do the...

The toe and heel didn't work. Either I'm doing it wrong, though it seemed simple enough on the YouTube video. I even tried to push the door while it was open towards the hinges to see if there was any give and there wasn't any movement. The hinges are of WMS butt hinge type - is it worth me...

Thanks for that, sounds like the resolution. I’ll also have a look at some YouTube videos to see it done visually now I know what to look for. Would I need to do this procedure on the bottom panel or top glass or both? Suspect the panel below will be light so not much gain there. Do the...

Yep it is narrow. Maybe in the future we will extend it out. We have the stairwell below the F/F. I think we can go to about 2.10m. We're still going to give it a try out and failing that we'll look out for a new F/F, the next widest appears to be a 55". That should give us the room to open...

Hi, we have a upvc door, probably about 20 years old. Locking the door has become fiddly and we now have a gap appearing on the top left. You can see daylight as well as it letting in the draught. I've had a quick look on the web but didn't find anything definitive. Could someone please help...

Hi All, thanks for the comments. I've managed to switch the hinges over without having to buy any additional components, this is good as we can see how it looks, youtube vid helped :). Initial thoughts are that it's not to bad due to the worktop on the other side, so guessing we could put...

I'm also thinking that if I did take off the end panel, that may still pose an issue due to the bent wall towards the bottom, this still might not give me enough room for the bottom door...:cry:

Hi both, thanks for the replies. I was under the impression that if you bought a 59cm fridge it would require a 59cm opening. But that doesn't appear to the case, I don't see any references that show door opening measurements on a few random fridge's I've just checked online. The wall indeed...

Hi, I wonder if you guys have some suggestions and advice on this issue please. Assuming this is the correct forum. We've had a makeover in the kitchen and the space between the last set of drawers to the wall is about 60cm. The fridge is 59cm. The top door opens partially but not fully, door...

Cheers all, we'll see what we end up with...

My carpenter has suggested a removal housing on the boiler. I do not wish have this as it needs to have easy access to all the bits, for example we once had pressure drop issues. By removal he means to cover it and unscrew it when access is required. I am thinking to ask the carpenter to make...

Cool thanks again.

just a note. The laminate is 12mm and the fiber board is 7mm so 19mm in total. Which might change things a little. the laminate is also grey. Could you provide a link to a suitable-ish solution please?

Thank you all. I'll investigate. I went into a local carpet shop today and they really didn't have a clue. Which I found strange!

Hi all, My neighbour has the same landing as me. neighbour I wish to position my laminate right to the edge of the lip. If i do this can the carpet start underneath the bull nose or would that look odd? Any tips i'd be grateful as the carpenter is going to start laying the laminate...

Internal kitchen Wall now stripped, I went over it with a wire brush drill attachment. I hope that’s enough height wise? There wasn’t any noticeable salt deposits or paint peeling At that height. The walls appear to be dry which is good news. A Plasterer is going to check it out, but he...
