Hi guys, thanks for the help this is what i plan to try as i'm not much of a carpenter. I'm going to go with wire rope tensioners in the same orientation as suggested. Will look something like this. With the turnbuckles tightened to lift the gate back into shape.

Hi there, I've recently bought a property where the rear gage is pretty severely sagging and which we need to remedy. If you look at the bottom bolt you can see how much it has sagged. I've moved the top bolt so that we can keep it locked for now. We have checked that the sag isn't...

So the fact that the fan will be mounted in the loft but protrude through the ceiling mean that i don't need to use an RCD as its technically in the loft?

Hi there, I'm just about to call a spark in to get an extractor fan fitted into our bathroom, since we had a new electric shower fitted opening a window simply doesn't work and we're starting to get mildew in areas of the ceiling. I'm looking at getting a 230V Icon 30 with Humidistat...

Ugh i think i have solved this. The water was turned off when i new shower was installed. There was no pressure in the boiler because of this!

Hi there, we've moved to a new house which has a Baxi 80e fitted in the loft. Its the "instant hot water" version so it tends to come on every 15-20 mins to reheat the small instant tank. Recently its started to make what i would describe as "gurgling" noises when the preheat comes on (or its...

Just to finish this thread off. I installed a 927 in the loft today. The thermostat has no problem at all getting the signal from the loft. I was prepared to drill through to the airing cupboard below but no need :)

Hi there, I'm looking to replace our room thermostat (a honeywell cm67) with a new wireless thermostat, as the current one was installed by previous owners with extremely ugly trunking which we'd like to remove. I'm looking to either get a Honeywell 927 or a Siemens rev24rf as they seem to...

Hi there, I've just moved into my new house but there is one thing that is bugging me about the front door. Its currently open-able from the outside if unlocked and i'd like to change it to a set up where a key is needed for outside access (this is what my family is used to) I understand...

Gas safety certificate is with the agents afaik. Have had to reset it twice this morning (it died again about 10 minutes after first reset but now its chugging along fine) Plumber is going to try to get back over here today but the snow has just started so we may have to wait. I'll ask him...

Hi there, In the last few days we've been having some issues with our Baxi 80e. That being that the flame is going out (and its flashing the 30C light) The letting agents plumber came out who showed me how to reset the boiler. We did this yesterday and it ran all day no problem. However...

Hi there, We have a small issue with our kitchen tap in the fact that the cold water lever no longer turns the water on. It would appear that the part of the tap head that grips the spindle has ground down, as if we swap the tap heads around it works fine. This is a picture of the tap...
