Wow, thanks all for your advice. I will try the split repair and new hinge positions first. if that doesn’t work I’ll try cutting out and putting in a new piece of wood. Failing that, it’ll be a tradesman to do the job. Thanks again. Mutley56

Just thought, do you think the light’s fire rating will be printed in the light fitting somewhere?

Thanks both. Will need to see what the light spec is, they were installed 8 years ago now. BW

hi all, Want to top up loft insulation. Current insulation leaves the lights exposed in loft. I read terracotta pots can be used over lights and insulation laid over the top. From the picture, is it clear that I can do this? I hope it shows enough detail. Thanks in advance for your advice...

Hi, I’ve fitted one on my basin. Do I remove this screw cap and blanking piece completely to set the trap up, or loosely screw the white cap back on. Thanks for the advice. Mutley56

Thanks oldbuffer, will check tomorrow

Good afternoon, There is a small but constant drip from under the temperature control lever on my Aqualisa 900 (I think) concealed thermostatic shower valve. It is a metal body one and only drips when the shower is on. Do you think the whole cartridge needs replacing or could it be that...
