Long shot, but I wonder if anyone is an expert in ovens I have a Bosch HBN131550B and yesterday the oven stopped working. Neither the grill or oven heat up. When I turn the oven on, there is the quiet sound of a fan (not the one by the element) and the thermostat light is not on Anyone...

Sorry - should have put "the door has lots of glass panels in the top half"

It would need to look periody as it's a listed building. So I guess either wood or composite. Cheers

Good morning We want to replace our broken voice intercom system and deadlocked front door with an intercom system that allows you to buzz people in from our flat upstairs. Because the current front door is glass, such a system would be very insecure as they could just break the glass to...

Thaks for the quick reply So I understand, what's good about those that I should be looking for, and what's the problem with number 4? Also what blade would be best for mdf? Cheers

Hi Guys I want to make a shelving unit from MDF but have nothing to cut it with. I am a pretty budget carpenter, but I have made similar shelves using pine from Jewsons in the past, so I am confident I can make the shelves. This time they need to be deeper and they are going to be a...

They don't shut properly so they need planing. But the hinges are painted over so I was told they'd need rehanging Cheers

I have a small job that needs doing on my windows. Two windows need rehanging and a little planing. I also want the frosted glass to be replaced with something clear. Can anyone recommend someone reliable to do this? I have had some issues with builders in the past (will never use mybuilder...

Well I have two of them and one rattles and the other doesnt, and the burden of proof is on the retailer to prove that it was working when installed (which I suspect is nigh on impossible for them to do). If they cannot prove it is is assumed it was broken (which i believe to be the truth)

Luckily (or not) in my case the extractor fan always made this odd rattle so I think it was always like this.

They only just invoiced me so i havent actually paid yet do I have grounds to withhold payment?

they supplied it But I said this to them and they said that only the manufacturer would deal with it. What can i back myself up with? Thanks for your help!

Hi I wanted some advice. I had a firm install some extractor fans. One of them makes a funny clicking noise so I emailed the firm to ask them to come and fix it. They say that it is the manufacturer who provides the guarantee so it is them who have to come and fix it, not them. The catch...

Hello I was wondering if you could give me some advice. The front wall of my old house (c1850) is not well insulated and lots of condensation is building up on the wall. We have been advised by a surveyor to fit some insulating and moisture resistant plasterboard. i was thinking of...

Old house - no fireplaces , or have they been blocked off ? Full central heating system ? do you try and economise by shutting rooms ? Condensation in the attic ? Are there water tanks up there , uncovered ? Is the house detached ? Also where in London :wink: Hi there the fire places have...

Thanks for the useful comment. I have actually already shelled out nearly 2 grand in replacing all of the valleys. I have been paying the builders who have come to look So now I am in the position where I am happy to pay, I just want to make sure I'm not paying more money that won't do...

I meant the condensation description Thanks

Woody That sounds almost exactly what we have Have you any idea how we sort this out? I'm slightly at a loss as to what to do Thanks Tom

I agree it would be good to get someone to come and have a look. The problem is getting someone who really knows what they are talking about. As I said, I have had builders who have suggested stuff that hasnt worked. Can you recommend a decent person to come and have a look? Thanks Tom

The house is about 150 years old The roof is actually a bit of a saga. We paid a guy 1500 to repair 2 leaks. He did 3 valleys and it only repaired one leak under one of the valleys. He tried a couple of other things and didn't succeed. So I got 3 other ppl to have a look and it turns out on...
