    Fridge Door Fixing Cracked Off ... help? Drill through?

    Hi ... the bottle tray came off with the door fixing yesterday. It's quite old so no new doors available. What can be done to fix it? Glueing the fixing back won't work. Can I drill through the door and bolt the rack on? Is there something in the door like liquid or gas ? It's integrated so...

    Genuine spare parts vs Chinese parts for AEG Oven Cooling Fan

    I wanted to document this; I have an AEG Competence oven, the cooling fan stopped working so I bought one on ebay. It is hard to decided which parts on ebay are "Genuine" as many are described as "genuine" or "genuine replacement" or "compatible part" ... so I thought okay I'll buy the cheapest...

    Wipe Clean Flooring ... Silent Non Echoey For Hallways

    Thanks I assume that means it is vinyl boards or tiles that you can sort of squeeze a bit ? Do you think it makes any difference if some acoustic underlay is added or won't that make a diff?

    Wipe Clean Flooring ... Silent Non Echoey For Hallways

    Looking to replace a carpet in a hallway, with flooring that can be wiped clean, but the carpet muffles any echoey sounds from people coming and going, and tiled floors for instance have that echoey effect. What is the best solution ?

    Storage Combi Boilers

    I thanked you for the calculations but as I stated a quick play around with the settings clearly indicated there was nothing more available from the boiler. In this thread I have detailed the problem with using other measures to predict your shower performance with a new boiler, and offered...

    Storage Combi Boilers

    I ended up getting a Combi and the showers are far less powerful than the old Storage Combi, so it's all been a bit crap. The DHW 35C rise values given in the technical specification are utterly meaningless and have zero bearing on what you will experience at the taps. The only useful figure is...

    Capping Off a Shower Head ... Nicely !

    I solved it by just getting a typical chrome flange off ebay with a hole in it and with pliers slightly widening the hole so it fits off the end cap and bit of silicone ... so you can see the end cap in the centre but it looks pretty good and all the tiles around the cap are covered.

    Recessed Shelves in Showers : Waterproofing The Joins?

    I ended up having to raise the shelf height by 1/2" so got some timber cut at the yard and I used Gorilla waterproofing tape on the old shelf and also on the joints on the new timber ... I also had some some 3mm birch ply so used that to make a solid incline so the water flows off nicely. Looks...

    Fibre Glass Roof : Rain Noise for Neighbours Above

    The rain noise is very slight and not noticeable, no canoe hollow sounds. Also GRP Roof sounds like a high tech thing it is actually a very brainless kind of roof perfect for roofers with zero skill, which involves 1" chipboard (if you're cheap) or plywood and then you roll on a coat of resin...

    Removable Louvre Vent ?

    Does anyone know of a type of louvre air vent that you can unclip and pull out the vent and put it back? In our bathroom there is one and one on the exterior wall, I would like to take the inner one out and clean the outer one and then put it back easily ... without having to go outside as I'm...

    Extractor Fans - Quiet Silent Noise

    Recently had the following experience I thought I would share ... it had always seemed to me that for our bathroom extractor ... the plasteboard was resonating with the motor and causing more noise than necessary. It was a standard Manrose unit. Anyway, I gut a gasket of white high density foam...

    GRP Roof anti-glare paint ?

    The seagulls might finally prove themselves useful because all the mess that they leave provides some surface variation that makes it easier on the eyes.

    GRP Roof anti-glare paint ?

    Thanks never heard of that stuff - not sure if the neighbours would be having it on a new roof, not sure what it does although could test a bit ... what about matt acrylic paint ? I can see that the seagull poo streaks that appeared overnight is improving the situation, perhaps I should start...

    GRP Roof anti-glare paint ?

    I am friendly with my neighbours. If there was some matt paint or anti glare paint that could be rollered on, it's only about 6 sq metres. Would only take 5 seconds. Fibreglass the whole point of it is that it doesn't tone down, it doesn't change.

    GRP Roof anti-glare paint ?

    The people downstairs just had their extension roof GRP'ed, looks great but it is quite reflective which is not very nice for the view as it's bright. So you have bright sky above and the bright grey reflection below. Does anyone know of some kind of anti-glare paint to use to calm the...
