Following on, looked today. These do not appear to be 'flag' hinges ! No allen key spot at bottom, only what seems to be an end bolt surrounded by a sort of black seal. Right in the centre of the hinges on the front is some adjustable screw (like an allen key but one of those more modern...

hinges

[/url] Thanks for advice. Will try during the week when i'm back at house. From memory, i think there's 3 flag hinges. presumbly i adjust all 3 the same. Also, i could not see a way of lowering or adjusting the plate . The reason i'm thinking the door hasn't dropped is that i visually...

This is a two hook, four bolt lockmaster set up. When closing door to leave house, although the door shuts ok (meaning no-one can get back in without a key), we cannot double lock. The mechanism works when pushing up the handle but the problem is the alignment of the central lock into the side...

Has worked OK for a day; ---- now, sometime overnight with the hallway thermostat at 20c, and C/H at 'on' and H/W 'timed', the heating has decided not to click back on at some point. Very frustrating !

Fairly new condensing boiler (with hot water tank). Went on holiday. Left boiler 'on' for C/H and off for hot water. Hallway thermostat at 14c. On my return, house seemed cold. Heating had not clicked in. Checked programer. (hall thermo was clicking ok) . As last resort I slightly moved the...

Have a problem with this nice little refrigerator LEC R450CW . The 'flap' for the little freezer compartment came off. The house was let out for 6 mths & now although I have found the flap, I dont know how to re-fit. The plastic protrusions on each side of the compartment impede the putting...

Sorry to be flippant, but I did not realise you could buy good porcelain tiles from homebase !! I would point out that I know of several porcelain tiles that need sealing and on each occasion , no mention is made of this fact on the boxes. There are one or two products on the market which ...

Most manufacturers of floor adhesive suggest you use a flexible powderd adhesive on vinyl

A lot of people put it in their wetrooms - usually OK to do so , so long as you are aware of the practicalities. Firstly, usually more expensive to buy a good quality trav (check out how 'filled'they are -also how cratered they are on the back, the bigger the worse); Secondly, preparatory for...

As you have correctly found out, the official Uk Building Standard for fixing tiles to Gypsum skimmed plaster (as veriified by Bal technical ) is "20kg per square Metre , and that includes adhesive and grout weight which per sq metre would be approx 3/4 kg. Bare plasterboard 32 kg. Aquapanel...

Re my reason for not using Topps 'in house' products generally ; I liken it to the comparing of 'value' baked beans in Tesco rather than 'heinz' baked beans !!! Own brand products are OK but are inevitably inferior --- hence the price differential. You get what you pay for !

Only guessing but I presume you bought 'unibond rapid ' from B& Q who obtain the budget stuff in mountain loads. Not a particularly good product - (i'm being polite) This black bitumen is a nuisance as it is very difficult to get up. I have always chistled off any really rough areas, then...

Regarding grout protector, SEALGUARD is an excellent product, but is quite expensive £25 ?? Normally comes in a large spray cannister and so is very easy to apply. The manufacturer even says you do not need to wipe off the residue on the tiles but I normally do ! Topps may also sell HG...

Before spending a lot of money, why not try a product called 'HG Permanent Anti-slip', which is a small bottle of liquid you brush onto to smooth surfaces like ceramic etc. Normally around eight quid and might do the trick. If you google the name, you might find an on line supplier...

You may wish to consider the traditional way of sealing. That is the use of Boiled Linseed Oil, thinned down a bit with genuine white spirit or turps say 50/50 in order to penertrate easier & to avoid less stickyness. Test a small area first. I have found this to be the best method for...

Have you not tried looking for dedicated brands like HG. They for example do 'stain colour remover', 'spot stain remover' or' stone and marble stripper' Look to eee which is most appropriate for you. As for a shine,, they do a 'marble polish' or 'wash &shine' products. Unfortunately you have...
