    Bathroom Radiator Towel Rail too hot?

    Thank you stem, so you think i am right in just turning the left hand side regulator (as in my photo) all the way down, and then trying to open it up, as you say, to a 'gnats whisker' as it is soo sensitive! We just didn't know with it being so hot, that it was dangerous, if we touched it by...

    Shower door wheels out of runners?

    Is there a quick and simple fix for a Shower door (curved) that keeps coming out of its runners? I have attached a photo, but most days, this keeps popping out at the bottom, and it needs to slide back in to its runner, which can be tricky? If there are any tips, to keep these 'on track' then...

    Bathroom Radiator Towel Rail too hot?

    We have a Bathroom Radiator Towel Rail that gets scalding hot, but cannot see the best way to turn it down? There are two twisty knobs either side at the bottom, and worked out that the left hand one, (clockwise) seems to turn off the water going to the radiator, as the noise stops, but even...

    Toilet partially blocked?

    Can anyone help with a solution to a partially blocked toilet? This has never happened before and has only just started. Basically the toilet flushes fine, and maybe the fresh water after a flush takes a little longer to settle at the correct height. But after a few hours left alone, brown...

    Kitchen tap won’t stop! Replacement?

    Thank you, I will try and look for some closer to tap valves, but i'm sure i didn't see anything at all but will check again :) I haven't managed to pull the tap head off yet, as this is at my parents house (not mine).. Is it easy enough to just pull off with force? or are they attached somehow?

    Kitchen tap won’t stop! Replacement?

    Here we go. Here we go. I hope you can see these ok.. As you can see the cold feed is the bottom T shape so one end goes to the Tap, and the other goes to the Washing Machine and Dishwasher I can't see any further up valves so this must be the isolator for the Tap?

    Kitchen tap won’t stop! Replacement?

    Surely if i pull the knob off and swap it for the one on the other side, then the HOT tap would be in the same position? But i might have a look at the jumper if you think it could be that? or the washer? :)

    Kitchen tap won’t stop! Replacement?

    We have a kitchen mixer tap that kept dripping so knew that the washer was going. Last night turning this off, it seemed to “snap” and the cold tap wouldn’t turn off as the handle just turns round to infinity with the water just slowing and not stopping! So we managed to get to the cold feed...

    BOSCH TDS3525GB Sensixx B35L leaking over floor? Dangerous!

    We bought a BOSCH TDS3525GB Sensixx B35L Iron and it leaks everytime we try to use it? We fill the water (not over full) for steam, and as the Iron warms up it leaks water out of the base holes all over the stand/appliance and all over the floor? This obviously (as its for steam), is very hot...

    We use 47 Kg Propane Calor Gas Cannisters just for our cooker hob as we aren't on mains gas here, but is there a simple dumb way to know when they are getting low? I know we just let them run out and when they are empty, they are empty! (simple I know)!! But just wondered if I was missing...

    Siemens Dishwasher E 15 Error?

    Just as a follow from this I have had the filter out and cleaned, but its still doing it I'm not sure how to reset the E:15 error? Ours is wired into the wall when fitted as part of the kitchen, so we can't 'unplug it' as such to reset it, only just turn it off, which doesn't really do...

    Help - bottom locking French door bolt dropped..?

    I have attached pics (I hope) of our french doors that turn with a special key, seems to have fixed itself and dropped internally as the key no longer has any 'purchase' and we can't undo the lock, hence not being able to open our french doors?! I think this has just 'stuck' over time and over...
