    Cabinet doors too heavy for fridge/freezer

    The cabinets are not old, it is a Sheraton kitchen fitted April 2017. The fridge freezer is older though if that's what you are referring to. After reading all replies and due to the weight of the cabinet door, I'm inclined to think the cabinet door should be fixed (hinged) to the cabinet frame...

    Cabinet doors too heavy for fridge/freezer

    Here are some photos - the door supplied has no cutouts for hinges but I guess that was the fitter's choice

    Cabinet doors too heavy for fridge/freezer

    Thanks, that sounds like good advice... As I say though the whole arrangement is supported by the fridge door hinges at the moment so any additional hinges would be from cabinet door to surrounding frame and I might have difficulty in getting them to work smoothly with the fridge ones. Plus...

    Cabinet doors too heavy for fridge/freezer

    Sorry, don't know, they came with the house and I can't see any maker's name - they seem decent though. There are fixing brackets and adjusting screws top and bottom of the FF doors to take the cabinet doors. When you open the cabinet door the FF opens too (obviously). This sort of arrangement...

    Cabinet doors too heavy for fridge/freezer

    We had a kitchen fitted just under a year ago, it was done well but the new doors attached to our integrated fridge freezer have dropped a little and started to rub on adjacent units. Having taken the top section door off I see it is extremely heavy and in my view too heavy for the hinges on the...

    Damp on window sill

    Apologies for butting in but this sounds very similar to my problem so I thought maybe better not to start another thread - I too have water ingress at bottom corners of window upstairs, ruining window board and plaster locally. I poured 2 litres of water on the bottom of the frame near the...

    Heating and Hot Water won't work at same time via programmer

    Update: found thread re. similar problem. Seems to be defective programmer, it might be cured by turning off the display backlight! as with this on there is not enough power to operate the two actuators. I have done this and it is Working correctly at the moment...

    Heating and Hot Water won't work at same time via programmer

    Hi, we recently discovered that if the heating is on and the HW tries to come on the actuator won't open the HW valve. Similarly if the HW is already on and the heating gets triggered then the heating actuator doesn't work. They both work fine via override if neither is on So the valve units...

    Foundation for greenhouse ?

    Thanks for the response, after consultation I am leaning towards a strip/trench type footing as we want some bare ground inside. Any comments from anyone on whether it's permissible to pour concrete to just below ground level with no frost cover? Cheers,

    Foundation for greenhouse ?

    Hi, I am having a 1.8 x 2.4 m. wood frame greenhouse 2.2 m. tall with dwarf single skin brick wall about 0.7 m. high. Would a raft foundation be OK and would reinforcing mesh be essential? Any comments on minimum raft depth gratefully received. ... If I were to have a trench footing instead...

    Replacing 'main' ignition switch on Bosch gas hob

    For info: Actually managed to find the model - NHT645SGB/01 FD8304 and the part appears to be 00609162 as on http://www.applegate.co.uk/b2b-products-services/9f5052508e8611e395ed005056822514.html Looks like it is secured to hob top by a nut underneath. Any ideas on possibility/degree of...

    Replacing 'main' ignition switch on Bosch gas hob

    Hello, I have a Bosch gas hob with a small, spring-loaded 'main' push button switch which needs to be depressed before any of the burners will light. This hob was not bought by me and the id. numbers are impossible to read correctly without dismantling the kitchen unit - I am not that desperate...

    GRP roof - best time for work - and is it any good?

    Thanks for the useful replies, I am edging towards torch-on felt as it seems to have least number of serious negatives according to my research. One more option has cropped up though - bonded Alwitra Evalon-V single ply membrane. I can only find sales promotion material which of course is very...

    GRP roof - best time for work - and is it any good?

    I recently made some enquiries about replacing my felt flat-roof with GRP. One roofer told me that he could fit GRP but it shouldn't be done in January as it needs a few dry days to complete the job, he was also a quite sceptical about how good GRP was anyway and said that he had heard of 'lots...

    Re-using glass from patio door for shed windows !

    Thanks guys, I'll get the fitter to advise me when we get the new doors installed~alternatively I could just stick them on top as I need to repair the shed roof and they are just the right size; plenty of light but possibly not very aesthetically pleasing! (only kidding!)

    Re-using glass from patio door for shed windows !

    Hi, I am repairing a shed and also replacing my old double glazed (aluminium) patio doors. I was wondering if it is feasible to break up one of the old d.g. Units into separate sheets and cut one up to make shed windows. I am a novice glass-cutter and have only cut 'ordinary' glass in the past...

    Drainage for 'dirt road'

    Our street is an unadopted road which is not finished with tarmac or anything similar, hence 'dirt road' in title. It is about 40m long, 5m wide and very badly worn with large potholes and craters. I am hoping to get the neighbours to club together to fix it in some way. Our houses only front on...
