I have the titan (Titan TTB669PRW 130bar Pressure Washer 1.8kW 240V) but it's not up to the job, don't get me wrong it's okay but for a deep clean it's not up to it. The other issue is with the rotary tool it's usable but it's a pain as it has a tendency to flip as it's without wheels. I should...

I'm looking to pressure wash our back and front patio and was originally looking to hire a decent pressure washer. The only problem is that none of the hire places seem to supply them with the rotary washer attachment and the one that does (Brandon) has the rotary built-in and has had bad...

All the better then they'll blend in :)

Incidentally is there an application I can use on the roof tiles to stop moss from taking hold?

Thank you will give that a go, based on what I've googled thanks to your information Redland 52 seems to be the one. But I'll do what you instructed on the weekend weather permitting and report back. (y)

I need to order some roof tiles but have no idea what I'm looking for. Would anyone have any idea what I need to be ordering please? Pic attached

Loctite 55 it is then, seems good stuff from all reports. Thanks muchly :D

Aren't there supposed to be washers for this sort of thing. I did try PTFE on one of the taps and because it's ½" BSP I used copious amounts but it still leaked a little, may have stopped now. But don't really want to be putting that much PTFE when a rubber washer is the ideal solution. Not...

I'm need washers for a wall mounted compression Tee (Female - Brass) to garden tap connection. Taps were bought at Screwfix. If I screw the tap on fully it ends up at an odd angle and leaks a little bit, straighten it and it leaks a lot more. Why on earth the tight b@st@rds didn't throw in some...

The salus can be a right pain in the ar4* to pair but once it's working it's pretty solid. I've not had issues with mine dropping the comms and needing a re-pair ever, maybe I'm lucky. I've posted this here as I spent an hour trying to pair mine and I hope this might help someone. I've never...

We've had a plumber out to have a look at our combi boiler as the heating side of things wasn't working having not had it on over the summer. After precisely an hour of checking the boiler and cleaning the diverter he charged £65 for his labour, saying we might eventually need a replacement...

Ha ha the birthplace of the Yellow Vest Movement (y)

Well in the future I'll be voting with my very limited purchasing power as I've already said, I'm sure the Kudox will be in bits about it but hey ho. On a slight tangent there is unfortunately a race to the bottom where people will often blindly buy the cheapest 'landfill quality' product...

I've not used Jewsons for hiring but they seem to be a bit more expensive. Might give them a try though from this thread the wise advice seems to be to to concentrate on the smaller companies if at all possible.

Thank you guys. Yes think that's a way forward and hadn't thought of that. Next time I'm doing a DIY project I'll be spending my money with local businesses :)

I don't often have to hire tools thankfully but as with every DIY project there will be a trip to a local DIY/Hire store(s). Relying on the DIY stores for stock levels is a game of chance. But today trying to book a demolition hammer brought back all the times I've been messed around by DIY...

Yes I think I'll stick with it as I'm not going to be doing any cutting that requires perfection esp considering my DIY skills :)

Actually feel a bit silly now, it was in the back of my mind that I might need to lock it in but your response prompted me to check this and yes once locked it's solid. I guess that's good enough, thanks :)

Nope, I got the plus package which I felt was worth it for me :) Enough of a reason to return it and get a replacement I wonder, have emailed Evolution?

I've just bought the R210SMS+ Mitre saw and have just completed assembling it, I'm a DIY'er and got this piece of kit from Amazon for £129 which I think is pretty good value and it's had good reviews. But I've noticed there is slight play in the rotary table probably less than 0.5 degree. I'm a...
