Not yet. TBH I've been putting it off. I'm hoping to finally get down to it during the easter break. So fingers crossed, I'll let you know how I get on

Thank you, more or less what I was thinking.

I've tried to loosen with an adjustable but can't quite get the right purchase on the 1 inch nut probably due to play with the adjustable, and/or it's just plain seized. It's in an area where there isn't a lot of room to manouvre. I've bought a 1/2in drain cock from Screwfix on standby once I...

Much appreciated and think I'll be buying this

Turning off the water supply seemed to stop the water coming out and though I haven't unscrewed it completely. I do have a spare identical also worn valve assembly which if you are right and I can recondition it with a new washer I may be able to replace the current leaky one. Thanks

I discovered a leak under the floor boards near the main inlet and I've tried tightening the valve but can't quiet tighten it enough that I'm confident it won't leak or come loose again as it's done once before. I'd like to put a new drain valve or cap it off. The spanner size to remove the...

Yes I've checked this as this was something I thought was causing the problem.

Amazing info thank you so much and the image helps a ton. I'm going tackle this in the next few weeks when I've got some time off. TBH this has been a problem for several years now and I've been dreading tackling it but I can't put it off any longer. I will let you know how I get on and thanks...

Well that's what I was thinking but before I go and start to try prying them off I'd check

Yes it's one of those again, I'm sure this forum get lots. We've got a leak which I believe is coming from the glass joins in the roof i.e. one of the rafters. Water is leaking from the soffit which I believe is finding it's way from one or more of the rafters, I imagine one or more of the...

First of all thank you for the suggestions. The only problem I have with the corner guards is the wall it's going on to isn't the most solid up to a few inches from the surface. Not sure what kind of botch job they did when building the arch. Nothing is remotely straight is this s@dding house...

We've got a narrowish doorway and it's all too easy to catch the edge of it was we walk through due to the angle you have to approach it due to kitchen furniture which I can't move. It's just been redecorated so want to stop damaging/tearing the wallpaper as happened before. I'm not overly keen...

Yup Deluks you hit the nail on the head, the fact that the wall doesn't feel cold to the touch and doesn't absorb heat means mositure won't condense as easily on a non insulated lined wall. This is the whole point in us going for this type of lined paper. This will hopefully cut down on mould...

That's a good shout wish I'd spotted that before (y) Would Carlube fuel injector cleaner work as well if you've got petrol you need to use up and to clean out any residues/crap.

I've been meaning to post this about these leaf blowers for some time and it might help somebody else. Almost from new mine would cough and splutter and eventually stop. I'm not particularly engine minded. I changed the spark plug, refreshed with more petrol/oil mixture including an additive to...

I'm about to decorate one side (exterior wall) of a bedroom. The wall is prone to dampness and mould being an exterior wall, which gets very cold in winter and the condensation from 2 people over 8 hours is difficult to manage completely. So have decided to give insulated lining paper a go which...

Well as long as it spins at 60 times per second a squirter is fine with me :ROFLMAO:

I'd report this guy. Don't want him to lose his job/business but he either needs to work under supervision until properly re-trained or buck his ideas up

When you say feeble have you looked at my suggested combination. I'm aware the rotary splits the flow so won't be as strong as a lance.

I'm also bordering a neighbour and there is no wall and will be by a public pathway/road for parts of the job and unfortunately it's not pointed at the front.
