Hi and thanks. But I was thinking more along the lines of turning the whole window into a studd wall. Keeping the hardwood surround which is in good condition. Removing all the parts that are rotten and that divide the whole window into 6 parts fir the double glazed units to fit into...

Hi folks. I'm looking for advice and opinions please... I have a 3 sided conservatory built with dwarf walls, upper hardwood frame and polycarbonate roof. On the weather facing end (2.8m long) the timber that makes the internal frame has rotted away where the uprights and mullion cross...

update - removed pump again - connected to mains - dead put meter across disconnected pump supply and ran machine. 230v ac there for a min, then 0v for a few mins - this cycle repeats itself as the pump doesnt run continuously. Not sure if the machine senses how much water is in the...

Hi folks, Got a BEKO DRCS68 condenser dryer and the tank full light on and machine shuts down. emptied tank - still same problem. Cleaned heat exchanger, still the same. inside the back of the machine there is a reservior with a pump in and a polystyrene float. the condensation runs...

thanks X 3

thanks again. Would the zinsser 123 be a viable option? I've heard that being water based that it is easier to apply over larger areas. Is it just their base constituent that differs or do they have different covering and adhesion qualities? cheers

Thanks for the help. Does the oil based/ water based issue matter? Still wonder how to tell what type it us.

Hi All, You've never failed me yet good people of the forums so here goes! Decorating hallway landing and stairs. 8 doors......Yay!!! The doors in question are an unidentified species of wood which has been stained a shade like mahogany by the looks. Its got a bit of a sheen so...

Hi all - Update time. Was the DHW diaphragm assembly that was leaking. Where the pin comes out the back to push the pin in the 3 way valve. There must be a o-ring within the brass nut (like a gland nut i guess) that had failed. Cost me £85 as i has to replace the whole diaphragm...

thanks 45years. Just to clarify, if I order the alpha kit you show, that will include the parts I need? Also, does the CH system and the primary system need to be drained to replace this part? Sorry if I sound dense - I just want to be sure I've understood. Cheers

Morning all, I don't really intend to try and and recirfy this problem myself, (unless its a piece of cake - which these things rarely are) but I just want to know that I am being told the truth when I get someone in to sort this out for me..... Anyway - I have a baxi 105e which is...

thanks guys

Thanks Al, Should I just cut the two ends straight and butt them together? or use the jig to create male and female cutouts along the two edges to be joined? I'll use a router to cut out the slits for the worktop bolts.

evening all. I am looking to create a rather long worktop run using 38mm thick, 600mm deep laminate worktop. Its going to be in excess of the maximum length this particular worktop comes in. My question is, how would you guys suggest I join the two lengths? A male/female scribed...

Hi all, Anyone got an educated opinion in using a butane/propane mix cartridge in my blowtorch? It came with a butane only cannister and is now running out, but can only seem to find B/P mix readilly available. As an aside, any thoughts on using butane to solder copper pipes? I've...

Just out of interest Agile, now you know i intend to use inserts (I assumed it would be taken as read that they must be used, but I accept that unless I say explicitly then you cant be sure) - do you have an opinion of the use of compression fittings on polyplumb? You questioned the completness...

thanks dextrous

sorry agile. I will use the inserts too. I should have said - obviously
