Thanx polesapart Did you mean 45 degrees in the horizontal plane relative to the side wall of house! I've seen some that turn once that have extended cortically. This would be best as it would push the exhaust out at 45 down the side entrance reducing chance of plume hitting my house! The down...

Thanx gasservice1985 I've just spoken to the builder and he said the outlet will be higher! I'm sure he has know idea where exactly it will come out though! He said it will be straight out, so they don't plan to install a plume management kit and will be flush with the wall s it is now! If it...

Hi My neighbours boiler flue is approx 5ft above ground level if measured on my side of the fence! This is between 2 houses with its own side entrance separated by a fence so distance is about 1m or just under from the fence line. My neighbour is installing a new boiler, is there a minimum...

While I was out, or maybe not, builder dropped something over my fence and then has tried to lift fence from bottom and broken bits off. This was not equipment that would have stopped them working in any way. Apart from stupidity Is this criminal damage and/or trespass? Should I bother if...

[/url] Thanx for the info Gazman16 Very disappointed to hear this type of hinge can't be adjusted, couldn't see how it was but just hoping. Just had a look at that link you provided. BTW the detailed techdoc.pdf on that page is a dead link. I get the idea of what needs doing but will try...

My patio door has always been very hard to shut, I had to take out one of the little supports at the bottom or whatever they´re called the last time I opened the door just to be able to shut it. It has always looked slightly lower on the lock side of the door, so I would say it needs...

I have a few small hairline cracks in the render on the front of my house, not that bad at all but I would like to get it painted before winter sets in. I'm planing on using Sandtex smooth but should I try and fill these very thin cracks with cement first etc or should the paint be enough...

I've used standard Dulux and it also goes yellow if something is covering it which someone already said happens with oil based paints. Furniture in front of the skirting in my case and looks bad. But most of the gloss work I've done seems ok 3 or even 5 years later if nothing covering it...

[/url] Follow-up! Thanx Whitespirit66 Leak stopped. Appreciate the advice :D

Thanx for the advice Whitespirit66 I'll give that a go in the morning and hopefully that will sort it. It's still dripping when cold but less than it was when heating was on. I've got 2 of that type of valve so I'll look at getting them changed out during summer if we get one! So they just...

I have a very small leak from one of my radiator pipes. It might have been leaking for a while as I can see what looks like green on one end of the joint. It's dripping only and about once every 2 minutes when heating is on, and seems to be slowing now I've turned the heating off. I may have...

I finally got round to having a 2nd go at doing this and got it working! I used double type hinges as I pictured before but with a wider gap in the middle! With various tinkering and raising and fitting the hinges to the exact position got it working :shock: The ladder I have is the...

Plenty of choice but didn't find the handles I wanted, I'll take another look just in case but looks like I'll have to get something similar as still can't find the exact same design! Cheers

Yes I did get top and sides back on but it was long while ago so I couldn't tell you how exactly. But it was harder removing them so refitting shouldn't be too bad. Some rads look the same but are different. Sides can be flush with bolt so making it a lot easier. The cutouts can be bigger so...

I'm looking to but some handles to match what I have on another wardrobe I suspect these are just too old as I've spent an age looking for some to match what I have in another room. Even tried an image search but can't find something close! They're solid wood, come in 2 sizes Approx...

Oh I didn't know that. So looks like I'm at a dead end then if I keep the current ladder :( I've just found these on the Net which is what I had in mind so I might see if I can make these work. As long as I can lift and push back an inch in the direction of the hinges before lifting other...

Removing the ledge would mean distroying not only the ledge but also the wood framing the opening which is at least 3 inches deep all the way round plus the sections on the ceiling which would do a lot of damage. I think that would be unnecessary perhaps! I guess I could just cut down the...

I have large ish loft hatch door which is getting damaged little by little every time I need to up there as I have to slide it to one side (it's bloody heavy) I need to repair, sand and paint as it looks a mess. But no point in doing that until I don't have to slide it open! I've got a...
