OK, I'll give it a try. I've found a "low-risk" door to test with :D Cheers.

Thanks all. So are we saying that the screws my chippy has used are not even supplied with the handles? The solution advised sounds great but with 13 doors to do, I don't think I can afford to go down that route if I bring in a new chippie. I'm very inexperienced with woodwork and will end up...

I need to buy these screws and would be grateful if you can advise which type, which screw driver and if I need to pre-drill a hole? Over time, the retaining screws on my door handles seem to work themselves loose, causing the handle to wobble and eventually fall off. To make matters worse, my...

Just three years on, I can see bubbling up everywhere, seam lines showing through and extreme chalking (shoes get covered in chalk/residue), and the crows like to pick holes in it (especially where it bubbles up). A nail scratch reveals the chipboard underneath. It's been a spectacular failure...

This is a premium brand and we have the elongated D style toilets in our house. The seats cost £140 without and about £220!!! with the soft-close mechanism. The price was factored in, so I wasn't aware of the extortionate cost when I got all our bathrooms specced up. Normally, I wouldn't be that...

In truth, the house has had some movement since the build and so it's not surprising some of the roof boards may have moved up/down enough to create tiny gaps between them. That's where I feel a felt roof would've been more forgiving. I fear if I repair a few sections, other leaks will spring up...

If he's still trading :cry::cry:

We went for a rubber/bullet paint coated roof for our ground floor 6m extension flat roof. Builder was singing its praises. A year on, we are getting leaks in a few places. I took a look through a spot light hole and can see clearly that water is seeping through the joins in the boards. They've...

Incredibly, thermostats that need have high voltages running through them are still a thing in the year 2023 (even for new builds). Has anyone come across a thermostat that behaves a bit like an alarm sensor output? I.e. runs of 12v DC and sends a simple on/off voltage (nominally 1v) to a GPIO...

Blimey :eek: Thanks for the tips both, I'll obviously start of with yours JT

Bumpety bump

Correct. I never have to top up after venting unlike my old place. I'll have a look at the manuals. Cheers

The Wilo loops in and out of the tank. So no factor. Only that orange pump attached to the manifold I can see. Otger than the black and gold Valiant block, nothing else. Boiler pressure 2.0 bars but its on right now, I would say 1.5 when off from memory.

Thanks guys, Boiler, stuff under it, pump attached to tank, manifold, manifold pump.

It was commissioned early October 2022

The "Last" radiator in the house is in the loft. It makes a near constant (I'm gonna say) "hammery" sound when the system is on. When I bleed it an extraodinary amount of air comes out (sometimes for 10-15 seconds) before I get water. Things settle down for a few minutes. Then literally 2...

I'm just going to wire in a small speaker from an old laptop and see how it goes!

Thank you! I simply want the sound I send from my phone to reach the person standing under the camera in the way that I can hear them.

I have this Hikvision dome camera (DS-2CD2566G2-IS) which I've already installed. It has a built in mic and an "Audio Out" lead (terminates with green female blocks). The guide does not explain how to use this lead and I've searched the web for a compatible speaker. No one seems to be selling a...

The They look good, just too big (thick) for my precise shelf mounts. I can't find anything less than M10. No doubt will have other things to fix to the walls in the future. Will keep them in mind.
