Thank you for your reply Yardie. When checking the rotor ams etc., earlier as you suggested, I let the machine run on after but had not refilled the salt. At the end of the cycle, the glasses that I had left in there had come out perfectly clean and the machine itself didn't have any more...

Thank you Yardie. I tried putting a tray in, when in the bottom of the machine it filled up. There is one rotating arm in the bottom of the machine and one under the top tray. Both arms were in different positions when I opened the machine a few times while it was running and the water was...

Thank you for your reply Yardie. When the cycle has finished, the dishes are hot on the drying process. They are clean but have a rough coating on them and glasses are misted. I am not sure how to tell if the arms are going round and the inner door and bottom of the inside of the machine are...

I have an Aquarius Dishwasher which is not cleaning dishes etc., properly. I have cleaned all filters, checked the spray arms are not clogged, but cannot see what the problem is. Instead of running the outlet hose through the standpipe, I also tried running the outlet hose along the ground out...

Thank you kbdiy for your comments. However, I think I have been stung. I said to the 'builder' who fitted the window and trim that the trim did not appear to be fitted as it should have been (trying to be polite) and I asked if it could be taken off and refitted. He said no, he said he had...

Cany anyone please advise me how to remove plastic window trim from the outside of a double glazed plastic window. The trim has been fitted very badly and I want to take this off and replace with more suitable trim and fit it hopefully better. Will it cause the window any damage? Many thanks...

Thank you very much for the information, I am sure now I can go ahead and do the necessary. Many thanks for your prompt answers. Dee

Hi JayPage, thanks for your prompt reply. It is a Drayton, oldish, is there anything I need to know about settings (?) when putting the new one on? I am a complete novice. Many thanks, Dee

On one of my radiators, the plastic head on the thermostatic control valve has broken. Is it possible for me to replace just the plastic the head without draining the system and replacing the whole unit. I know I will have to purchase the whole unit but can see a ring beneath the broken plastic...

Thank you John D for the helpful information. I rather think it will be me fitting the insulation after the work has been finished but from your message it sounds easier than I thought it would be. Many thanks

Thanks Tony, the floors are suspended so will definitely try and wrap up as much of the pipework as possible. Work being done tomorrow, heigh ho onwards and upwards! Again, many thanks.

Thank you Tony, the only squirrels I see are those hopping around the back fences, as for mice, the only ones I find are dead ones on my kitchen floor courtesy of our cat who has brought them in as gifts although it's a bit naughty of her to chew them first. I think I will try and insulate the...

Hi Tony, Being a novice, we didn't appreciate it would matter. We are in Sussex, many thanks.

Hi Tony, Thank you for your reply. Will go ahead and have it done, nice to know it is the right thing to do. Many thanks.

Hello, We have an old mains water pipe in our house which is lead. It has given us a few headaches with leaks which have been repaired but the plumber has now suggested we have the whole pipe replaced from where it enters our house to the stopcock in a back room. Because the pipe is not in a...

Thank you for your comments. However, when I purchased these taps, I was told by the local suppliers that they were Amber taps, subsequently taken over by Ultra. This was also printed on the invoice which I still have. However, after getting in touch with Ultra for the spares, and sending them...

Thank you for all your suggestions. I bought the taps with others, from a specific plumbing supplier locally, thinking buying better quality taps would last. I will have the part removed and try and replace it as per your suggestions. Many thanks to all for your help. Dee

Thank you both. I will have to get a plumber to take out the offending bit, I would prefer to use the present taps as they match the bath taps. I think there is an isolating part further down the piping leading to the tap which he could use. Many thanks for your replies. Dee

Four years ago I purchased new basin taps for the bathroom. I was told as they were ceramic the washers would not wear out, well, they have and the taps are dripping like mad. Unfortunately the original local suppliers are not helpful so I do not know the make of the tap. I have tried Ultra...

Thank you everyone for all your comments and suggestions. On reflection, I think the idea was just to sell me a new boiler, a lot of what I was told just didn't make sense. I don't believe the present boiler is that bad, I am now getting other opinions. Thank you again for everyone's help. Dee
