I had an idiot does just the same on my windows. I used a sharp chisel held as flat as possible, so I didn't gouge the PVC. Or if you don't feel confident doing that, use some silicone remover (although the one I used still said to remove as much mechanically as possible)

I have wallpapered around 6 months ago and the cat has decided to scratch a corner :evil: Behind the wallpaper is lining paper and I dont know what would be the best way to repair the damage without damaging the lining paper. 1) Strip one strip of wallpaper to the lining paper (but will...

I think that may make things worse as it already doesnt appear to be pulling in all the way due to cheap eBay products. I would prefer to repair tge old flexis if possible because in order to replace them I would have to remove tge sink (its a stupidly designed compact cloakroom one) and...

It's the other end leakedng. I have had a further look and it appears that the thread is slightly diffirent(quality eBay merchandise) so rather than it fully seating on the isolation valve it's binding on the thread. Is it possible to buy thicker rubber washers, or to pack it out with a...

I have just put a monoblock tap in, with flexis connecting to those little isolation valves. The problem is no matter how tight I do these up they still weep and its defiantly from the tap side not the pipe side. Does anybody have any ideas?

I have purchased a sink from ebay (yeh I know tut tut). The provided plug and bottle trap pipe has on od of 31mm. I have tried a standard waste and it wont fit into the basin. I have tried fitting a 32mm compression waste but this is too big. Is there anythign I can get to make this fit...

I am fitting a toilet and basin in a small cupboard with no external window. The Building Control officer has said I need an extractor fan (do I as there is no bath?) In the bedroom next door I have an open fire I rarely use, by building regulations will I need a vent in my bedroom, or...

No its overflow pipe so plastic. Does this still allow me to place it off the neutral axis?

I need to fit a macerator and the easiest way to run the 22mm pipe would be through joists rather than throught the loft and down an outside wall. I can can make upto 37.5mm holes in the beams according to current building regs. From my understanding this can only be on the center line of...

So other than it running all the time it will not cause any problems. Thanks for your advicr

- Thanks for your quick reply. Is it not possible to replace just the relay (I'm fairly good at soldering) if I was to ignore the fault would it cause damage to anything?

I have s Vokera Compact 25HE combi boiler and the fan occasionally gets stuck on and wont stop unless I turn a tap on then off again. The burner is not on whilst the fan is running. Does anybody know if it's an easy diy fix by maybe just cleaning a sensor, if not would it probably be an...

A good cleanup inside, check for leaks, check seals appearance, check to see if it's burning efficiently and heating efficiently and maybe check inhibitor.

Ok in that case, what would the ideal service consist of and how much would it cost (ball park figure) I live in Lincolnshire

I have just booked a service on my Vokera Compact 25He and I would like to know what to expect, ie how long does it take, how much of the boiler should he strip? Etc It's costing £46 which I think is good

In that case if I get somebody in to lead weld it for me, how do I go about fitting it around the interlocking tiles?

I need some help my current back gutter is leaking and it just ends under a tile (Marley Ludlow's) which looks totally wrong (imagine your looking up from the ground and the left and right ends are the bits that end under a tile). I think the end should be layed over the tiles so any water...

If the materials were paid for once you submit the receipt and one builder regs give a certificate fir the installation (presumably due to the insulation properties of the wall being changed building regs need to be involved?)

I think you may be right but I figured it's worth a try.
