Hi, I need to replace my woòden backdoor and frame. Should I stick wit wood or go UPVC? Thanks

Hi all, I have a doorstep as pictured which requires some repair. Is there something I could use to fill the broken areas. I also have a (much less damaged) window cill that needs some filler. What should I be using? Thanks, Chris.

Thanks for your response Terry. I noticed that the seal is 'wedged' between 2 plastic disks held together by a springy plastic clip which isn't perhaps as springy as it should be. With minimum force the two discs seperate allowing movement of the seal. My solution was to use standard araldite to...

Hi all, I got a wc that is not holding water. All the water from the fill valve goes straight diwn the pan. I took the gubbins (is it called a syphon?) out and maybe it is down to a seal not sealing (see pics below). The third pic shows a seal which perhaps should be attatched to something but...

Thanks so much Flameport. The perfect solution.

Hi all, I have a redundant outside loo soil stack opening (4" or 102mm), which I would like to utilise in order to drain a washing machine (40mm) waste pipe. I note that i could get a soil pipe plug from Screwfix and cut a suitable hole in it but the only plugs available are 110mm. Will a110...

Just re-read your post Wayners. I see why open to air is necessary. Thanks once again guys.

Thanks Wayners & Stuckinarut, I guess I could put a trap in the cupbord next to the washing machine (it's an IKEA kitchen) but there's not much storage in the kitchen anyway - I'm loath to install unnecessary plumbing - and it would mean core drilling a lower hole as the current hole is too high...

Hi all, There's probably a very good reason why not but could I run a 1.5m extension to a washing machine waste water hose straight through the wall and straight into a 40mm wastepipe? The hose would at all times be above the level of the top of the washing machine drum and have a slight...

setting the boiler ia any of the modes makes no difference to the the start up sequence not completing and yet there is no error code. Just a dot in the display. Guess I'm gonna have to call a heating eng.

Yep. Fresh Duracell batteries were fitted. The old ones were low - the display was faint and replace batteries indicator was on. Changed the batteries and no difference. Reset the thermostat and set time temp etc and still the sam When the thermostat is calling for heat the green led is on...

Salus model RT500RF

Thanks Ian, it's a wireless type of thermostat. Would I need to do that at the reciever?

After the FXX & PXX alternate messages disappear a single dot is displayed and nothing more happens. When I press the enter button 0 appears, indicating boiler is in standby. The thermostat is calling for heat and the hot water still works though so I'm a little confused.

Hi I have a Remeha Advanta boiler which is not switching on in CH mode. HW is fine. I've switched off/on at the spur and the 'cycle up' thing happens. The 3 min purge happens but then it stops and no further stages of the 'cycle up' happen as the manual describes (and as I've seen in the past)...

In the last photo, there are 4 sheets, one thick one which I think goes closest to the hob, one bumpy (ridged) one which I think goes in the middle, one thin one which I think comes next (inside, facing the motor) and one black one which I think is the carbon filter. I guess I could cut one of...

HI all, I've got an obsolete extractor (Premium Appliance Brand Cat no. HDG620SS) which is not vented to the outside The carbon filter is blocked and seemingly unavailable but there are a couple of screws which, when undone allow you to remove 3 gauze a one felt (carbon?) filter. My question is...
