Hi, I am changing the shower curtain for a pivot door. The width is 855cm so I am looking at an adjustable type from Coram. My problam is I had to tile one side of the shower tray to fill a gap. This is slightly raised for the water to run in to the shower tray. What can I use to make a...

Thanks Tony, I will get it serviced.

Hi, not a DIY question as I am not stupid about gas. I moved in to my bungalow 7 years ago but have never used the gas fire as it has not been serviced since I moved in. I went looking for a new gas fire today as we are planning to redecorate the room. I am limited to type because the...

Closing thread. I have installed a Honeywell and it works fine.

As I have not had any reply, I now have a Horstmann HRT4-A as I believed this would be a simple swap. I am now confused as the TLX 2259 has a switched neutral and the HRT4-A has a switched live. What should I do?

Hi, satchwell TLX 2259 is now over 25 years old and I do not believe it is working accurately. I intend to change to a simple digital option (no wireless) I wish to keep mains power not battery. I am considering a Honeywell DT90E but this gets poor reviews on Amazon as it is allegedly...

Hi, The door hits the lock plate and has to be forced to close. I am waiting for the new year to bring back the fitter so I can be there. I still have worries that the door could drop again or frame move and the glazing break! Cheers Gerry

Hi Crank39, Thanks for your reply. I was not at home when he made the adjustments. He told my wife that he had adjusted the hinges. However, he also stated that he glued the glazing panel to stop the frame moving, so he must have worked on both sides. When I called him to say that there...

Hi, In the summer our front door had been replaced for a new composite door by a local guy who runs a small business who had been recommended to us. The old door had a similar sized window at the side. We were advised that the property would look better if the door was centralized with...

Thanks JohnD The overflow problem has stopped for now. I will try your tips if it restarts. TBolt

Hi JohnD, I have lowered the ball valve in the cold storage tank and will check tomorrow if the overflow problem persists. I thought that the hot cylinder was over expanding but will need to keep checks on this. The water flow only stalls when the hot water from the tank reaches the...

Hi Frank, thanks for prompt response. TBolt

Hi Folks, I moved home last year and changed kitchen and bathrooms myself and British Gas did the boiler change (standard condensing as I wanted to keep airing cupboard). I have a problem of hot water flow stalling and spluttering from the mixer tap in the kitchen (air in system?). No...

Hi Spark 123, The hall light does work when the outside light is on. I shall folllow your advice and test all the wires this week end. If I can not figure it out I shall call in an electrician. Thanks for all your help. Regards TBolt

Hi Spark123, At the box at the front door there are 6 wires (5 red wires and 1 black). 1 twin and earth and 4 red and earth. The outside light works with a live red (from twin and earth) in L1 and a red wire (not live, from red & earth cable). Hall light: L1 2Red (live), COM Red, L2...

Hi Spark 123. I tried to say in my last reply that the red and black from one cable is not matched to the same switch. The outside light has only two red cables L1 (live) and com (not live). The black wire from the cable that pairs with L1 above is in L2 on the hall switch. Should I...

Hi Spark123 I have just checked. In the box near the living room the black and red come from the same cable. At the front door the I have recorded an error in my description. The switch to the outside light does not have a black wire in L2 it is empty. So presume this is a one way...
