    Wedges in Double Glazing

    One section of the Conservatory has "Blown" so I am ordering a new Pane. But why is there a Gap between the Glass and the Frame?

    Door Closer

    Just bought this and it won't move. Valves opened. It says in the Instructions to use a Spanner to adjust something, but I can't figure it out. It will not budge left or right. What am I doing wrong?

    Alu Radiators

Nice and comfy....now the same Thermostat is showing same with the Heat pump but I feel cold...and it takes time to get there. I don't think we need to worry...
