Dead legs - hmm, not sure - will need to have a looksee; it's the mother's house, you see. All the pipes I've seen so far seem to be firmly secured, but haven't looked in the loft yet. As far as I know, there's no flexible hoses anywhere; just lots of copper pipe with solder ring or...

Has anyone experienced pipe hammer, apparently caused from outside the house where the hammer is heard? There's no water appliances in use inside, the heating is off, but every so often there's a hammer noise running through the whole house (2-storey detached property). My theory is that...

Assuming you haven't purchased a new one, could you take a trip to B&Q or your local merchant, find one the same size, and sneak a look at the fitting recommendations, etc?

44mm thick, no identifying labels but either a white 'plug' or a plug that's been painted over in white (can't tell which yet) below one of the hinges.... No brush seals or rubber seals fitted to the frame or the door (I've been googling them, too...)

Come to think of it, should the intumescent mastic also be applied around the door frame of the door that accesses the hallway.....? And should that door be a fire door, and if so, how do I tell if it is or not? Thanks for all advice so far....

Have a look - http://www.diynot.com/network/GRC/albums/ Gaps around trunking for light switch and mains sockets, crude box section above door made from plasterboard, and general views of the gap between wall and plasterboard. They also seem to have run out of plasterboard mid-garage - I...

Should the plasterboard have been treated in any way, or is the standard stuff generally fire-resistant? Intumescent mastic? Never seen that in B&Q, I must say - is there a brand or maker's name I should look out for...?

Where can I find the specification for what you reckon should have been installed? I'm in Scotland, if that has any bearing on local variations in building regulations, etc.

Write, e-mail or phone Philips....? Find a good used pair on eBay...?

I've got a lounge above an integral garage, and the door of the garage faces into the prevailing wind. The house was built in the mid 1990s, I assume to all current building standards of the time; the lounge has chipboard flooring panels on top of the joists, the garage has what appear to be...

Depending on how long it takes you to strip it down, and assuming a rate of say £10 per hour to do so, it might be more economical to just buy the CD again next time you're in a music store..... but not as rewarding.

....with the electric power turned OFF, of course!

Sounds like faulty solenoid - have a looksee at http://www.showerdoc.co.uk/
