It means the seal has broken down between the 2 panes of glass, you will need a double glazed new sealed unit.

Depends on how the flat roof was constructed, if its a 'warm roof' where the insulation (rigid type) is laid above the deck then felted on top then the flat roof requires no ventilation. If its a cold roof, where the insulation is placed between the flat roof joists, then the gap above the...

I spoke to someone a year or so ago that tried to get blocks like that but could not trace them, IIRC the original house was 1930's so quite a while ago. In their case it was an extension being built so they put on a smooth cement render and put in fake coursing lines, when painted it looked...

Are you planning to leave the existing plaster and put new plasterboard over the top of it? You will need a means of fixing the plasterboard to the wall, either timber framing or dot dabbing (big blobs of adhesive!) the backing will have to be sound for this to work. Then you have to...

Does seem very strange to issue a warranty before the plaster work is done if they dont warrant the work unless they do their own plastering. What do the contract terms say? Possibly more likely that the guy doing the DPC work did not do it correctly - especially as he was sacked. Threaten...

My neighbour uses them as well and has had good service.

Easy to do if competent in working with plumbing and drainage otherwise probably best left to a pro.

I would do it flush to the floor to avoid drafts.

I bet this research is backed by the tyre manufacturers :twisted:

1st episode was good but not what I was expecting - a rather odd way to go back in time (he didn't even use a De-Lorean 8) ) if he actually is in 1973! but keen to watch more to see how the story unfolds. Great to see the 1970's street scenes and cars - nice Mk3 Cortina last night.

I fitted some of the crabtree ones recently, the sockets were no bother - just pushed on the cover plates and they clicked into place. One of the light switches needed a slight adjustment as the cover plate was slightly too loose, but no real problems. Just make sure your backing is secure and...

Sounds the same as my Truma set up, it has the same 3 heat settings and the highest is 2000w on mine- I guess you are talking about a fuse that protects the heater alone. Seems very odd that the caravan manufacturer takes out the 13amp fuse and puts in a 5 amp one. I will check what fuse...

Since you are going the real wood route, try to find one that you can lay directly onto the existing joists, that way it will save the cost of plywood and you can then remove the old boards.

Should be quite simple since the newels, handrail etc are in place - does your base rail and underside of handrail have a recess or cut-out in which to fit the spindles? if so, check the width of this as this will determine your spindle size. If there are no recess, you can buy a base plate...

What make, model and engine size do you have?

Am I right in thinking that the 240v heater is fitted as standard to your caravan such as Truma or Carver - rather than a free standing plug in type? Presumably your caravan mains unit has circuit breakers rather than 'fuses' Does seam strange though that the manufacturer states 5 amp is...

My wife did our stair case and it took her ages, she used a heat gun to get the worst of it off, then nitromors to complete the job, it did need some sanding though and then finished with a stain/varnish. Turned out very well - we did not want to fit a new balustrade as its part of the...

When cutting (with a hand saw) use something like a garden pressure sprayer, set to spray a fine water mist and spray this over the cut line, this should help minimise the fine dust.

It might be a broken coil spring in the suspension.

Can Worcester not get the parts for you? (www.worcester-bosch.co.uk) I'm no expert on boilers but we used to specify them way back in the 80's/90's and I am sure they changed the brown fascia of the earlier ones to the grey fascia with green lettering around 1989/1990
