I have recently painted my kitchen wall and base units with Ronseal Paint & Grain in Limed Oak. Although not essential, I decided to protect them with a coat of varnish. I used the varnish recommended on the Paint & Grain tin. When I opened the tin of varnish & stirred it, at the bottom of...

Have this Mira shower, the type that takes water from hot and cold supply. When the radiators are on and I go to have a shower, the pressure of the water is poor and often comes through cold or just lukewarm. If I turn the shower off and then straight back on again it often solves the problem...

Hello again. I have had no luck whatsoever in getting someone to come and inspect my patio doors and double glazing in general. No other local company wants to 'get involved' in case theres any comeback to them(if you see what I mean) :cry: My only option now is to get a building surveyor...

Hello :) I have a bissell carpet washer (not the pro wash one) and it is absolutely brilliant. It was about £160, if I remember right but well worth it. Don't be persuaded to buy a cheaper one as they have less suction so leave the carpet wetter and some do not have the rotating brushes that...

many thanks for your replies to my posts - I will try to get someone to inspect the doors and will ring around this week. Just wanted to say 'thanks' for taking the time to reply. I will report back with result but obviously it might be a couple of weeks. bye for now. :)

I get what you are saying but really wouldn't know how to find someone else who has had work done by this company. Its a local company and they have just moved premises so I don't think their showroom is up and running just yet - well, it doesn't look like it from driving past recently. Any...

Thanks for your messages in reply to the pics. I do still believe that they have been put in the wrong way round but the company insist it is right the way they have done it. Looks like the only option open to me is to get a surveyor to do a report but would imagine that would be costly. Will...

I had to write to the admin@diynot to add the pic as you will remember I had probs putting it on so not sure if they will oblige me by putting another on. If I know its no bother I could do this

let me try again...... Picture

thanks......just realised I hadn't ticked the 'make public' tab so will try again. here's keeping my fingers crossed! :oops:

not sure if this is going to work but I will try anyway. If the picture comes through, you will see the picture is taken from the inside of my house and slides on the inside from left to right. The gap between the runner and the window frame is where the rain water accumulates.

how do I put a photo on this forum? sorry for ignorance but new to this :oops: I will try to post a photo tomorrow if someone could point me in the right direction and as long as its not too technical!!! :roll:

Hello there. Maybe someone could help with a query with my upvc patio doors. It opens from left to right and the door slides on the inside of the static side. When it rains I get water collecting in a gulley on the inside - there is a space about two inches wide where this water collects. I...
