I have been working away and have just returned here. So I know this post is old. On further looking for your fridge, I noticed they were first introduced in 1993. Is this correct? Thts very old for a fridge. The compressors generally have long gone after 21 years. and they lose their...

yes, the first meter has to be copper... even an electrician like me knows that.

thats quite a pay packet... hows about, bolting 5 pipes, connecting the flue and then tesing? the pipes are all PVC, and the template is ready for the new boiler to hang imediately

I wouldn;t remove those wooden stuts as they are proping part of your roof up. Try to get smaller pieces of plasterbaord in-between them.

well.. either the suspension is worn or the bushes. get a price for each parts depending on your make and model from ebay. Fitting new bushes can be a difficult job though! and usually it's not worth it when you can buy a 2nd hand washer for £50

internal walls should not be insulated. only external ones. As for insulating a rood, you may end up having to pull the ceiling down to get insulation into it. I really can't say without seeing it. If you post some pics I can try to advise, but it sounds like you'e gonna need someone to...

A lot of different things!!! How old is the cooker, when was it installed, and who installed it?

You need to igve a bit more info if you want an answer.. I don't want to spend almost an hour giving you 2-3 sets of information. Gas or elec? make, model and age of the shower?

most houses in the UK now are 100amp. thats should give you a good idea. most appliances are identical now, just with a different plug. I can't give an exact answer as I have never been to France.

well, you've pretty much diagnosed this yourself. Pull the diverter aprt and look for muck or impurities. if it's badly worn replace it. and yes it sounds like the diverter is sticking. heat exchangeders can be flushed out with bleach and various cleaners.

Hi, I have a boiler to be lifted on to a wall and connected up. It's part of a new extension, and all, if not most of the pipes are already in the right place. Holes have already been drilled for the flue etc. I just need someone to connect it up and give me a safety certificate...

Persoally I would, but sticking anything to paint is never going to give good results.

decided to answer as you have been waiting a few hours. If you need a frame made up, you will need to go to a specallist, which will be expensive. You could try a small fabricating shop, and ask them if they will make a frame for you, but this will still be expensive. Yu could always...

boilers are actually not that complicated. Do you have hot water on demand? and how hot does it get? If the hot water works fine then the saftey thermostat is fine. If the system was flusehd properly 2 years ago, it shouldn't be anything in the pipes. My best bet so far is the motorr...

Serivcing the boiler won;t change anythign if your bathroom tap is running fine. Has anyone been working on the kitchen tap, or in the kitchen recently? I'm thinking they may have switched off the kitchen water supply, and not turned it back on properly. Maybe they hae limited the supply...

I would never lay flags on top soil. they will always sink. For a cheap sub-base you can use sharp sand, and a sprinkle of cement, but only for small areas. anything more than 1-2m sq, I would advise on the sub-base.

I'n most cases this is because the pipes are not screwed and fixed to the wall correctly. Adding a few extra fixings can help. I think the technical name is hammering pipes. where they keep making loud noises. It can also be caused by the difference in flow rates, where the filter tap...

I've never used PVA as a prep for painting. I usually use it for perparing plaster! I've had this problem before, and yes, I had a lot of problems with it. My solution was to litterally cake it in paint multiple times. which worked in the end, but I have no idea how many coats it took...

well, if you want to baord it more, thats upto you... I;m not going to argue with what your looking for... However, have you thought about maybe sticking insulation in the roof and boarding that? I expect it may end up costing the same depending. Either way, you can add wood on top...

Shame you only replied when the sarcasm was added.
