Hi, no, I've had a good look and see no evidence of water coming over the overflow.

Hi Folks, our dual button flush toilet is trickling water in to the bowl. I have replaced the geberit flush valve seal (which really did look like it might be the problem, bit nobbly) but the trickling is still happening. It's not a constant flow more a small trickle every 10-15 seconds. What...

Here is a better image of the (grub?) screw I'm after, taken from one of the other doors?

Where can I get one of these please. It's the little cylindrical screw that goes in to the door handle mechanism, unscrewed using an allen key. This one appears to have fallen off and probably been hoovered up. Also, could someone tell me what sort of screwdriver fits these please...

Hi Folks, if I'm looking to change all my light bulbs in the house to LEDs and I can't afford to do it all in one go, is the highest watt bulbs I should be aiming to replace first? i.e. 60w first before any 40watt.

[/url] Thanks for the info.

It does yes, perfectly.

Hi Folks, after much research I have changed one of the Halogen MR16 (GU5.3) downlights in the kitchen where the transformer had gone, to a GU10 5W LED downlight. If successful I'll change all of them. It seems to simple too be true and I would just like to check if there is anything else I...

I'm fed up with the halogen bulbs constantly going in the kitchen. If it's not the bulb it's the bloomin transformer. Our halogens are 50W 12V MR16 GU5.3. Seven on the ceiling and a further 4 on the walls just above the work surface. If we were to convert these to Led do we need new lamp...

Thank you. Yes, my apologies, I do mean cement not concrete. The molds are approx 7cm wide by 3cm deep. It's the gravel I'm missing. Thank you.

Bit of a strange question perhaps but I want to make concrete plant pot feet made from an old cake tin, the one that hols about 12 small cakes. I have building sand and concrete and my first attempt created well shaped concrete feet but which were far too crumbly. I need a mix that will make...

Thanks for your replies. It is more than a little disappointing that the builders used cheap 'untreated' fence posts that need replacing after just 8 years. Treated fence posts would last . . . . what, 20 years, easy . . . wouldn't they? They will soon need replacing at considerable cost...

Hi Folks, wasn't sure where to put this post (forgive the pun). We live in a block of six houses built approx 8 years ago. The builders fenced the gardens with what appeared to be substantial fencing but we are now finding the fence posts are now quickly rotting away. Several posts have...

No, no other drainage. Here is the view from the other side, it drains water straight down from the roof. What you suggest is very similar to what I already use. I was hoping for something raised and a bit smarter.

Hi Folks, I plan to create my own gulley surround from a few bricks and just needed a little advice. This is what I have. It sits too low in the ground and soil around it is always falling in : And this is what I want to create: Do I simply dig down around the drain, lay a...

I took down the assembly and had a good look. It's defo the light switch that is knackered so I've ordered that and a bulb holder. I'll get the local electrician to fit em. Thanks to everyone for your help.

Thanks. Do you think this is the right spare http://shop.zanussi.co.uk/product/50271654001/Cooker+Hood+Controls+Box For this (two photos, one taken from inside). You can get the lamp holder too.

I replaced the 13amp with a 3amp as per the instruction/fitting booklet. The fan now works . . . . . . and the light did for a few seconds but then as I tried to move the light switch (which had been stuck on on) it went again. Not the bulb I think but the light switch is knackered, it just...

I managed to get behind the chimney. It's fitted with a 13amp fuse. Is that right?

There are two at counter level which belong to the oven and gas hob. I think the cooker hood might be in the chimney :(
