Yep as mentioned it the clips that go round the lip of the gutter. they can snap off with age and best replaced.

Not sure if this is in the right department, but can anyone tell me if it's an easy enough job to re-enamel a bath tub? I have the idea it's like preping a car for a re-spray.

[/url] :shock: AAAhh! THAT'S where it went.

Yippe! CHEERS for that! can take masking tape off the door now

Just a thought, but if the olive is knackered (crushed) just check the pipe itself isn't too distorted too. might be viable to replace section of pipe. btw, just thought i'd mention.. getting a water tight joint isn't about brute force, it's about a precise fit. can't remember off top of head...

Might be too late, but when i changed mine, Like Crank says above there was a grub screw on the base of the indoor lever. undid that, and the handle slides off the square bar that goes through to the outside handle. with them off the plates of the handles can be taken off the door hope that helps

Anyone know how i can sort out a draught that's coming in through a upvc door? The draught comes in at the hinge side. Ive looked for screws to adjust the door but can only find the ones on the hinges to adjust the door height. The rubber seal looks fine. is there anything i'm missing?

Currently I have a Baxi back boiler, about 21 years old now. It recently had a thermo couple replaced and the plumber said it;s about time I got a combi, before it pacvked up. He said it would be cost effective, rather than the cost of replacing parts on the back boiler. Is that generally...

usually, when you open the bleed screw, you can fel the outside of rad. for drop in temperature to guage the water level as it rises. you can also tell from the pitch in the hissing noise the air makes. when it gets near the bleed screw it gets higher pitched. sticking an old towel under the...

I've been wading through the interent, trying to find the details of where the strap needs to go but can't seem to find it. Does the strap need to be within 0.6 metres of the 15 copper pipe entering the house, and before the pipe has an elbow, t connector? is it before or after the stop tap...

OK, As I understand it there's the gas and water, connected to the MET block. however; 1. do I need to bond the cenrtal heating pipes? 2. The earth on the gas is 10mm2, but IMO it's a long way. about 40 feet of run to/from the MET. what's the max run before using 16mm2? ta for any...

hi all, sorry for the late reply. It was Dulux's Once, that was said to dry in 90mins I think. I ruined the interior of the whole house with it :( I tried sanding it all down and re-painting over with Crown paint, but it went the same way. I'll get round to it later , but in the meantime...

never mind. I've done it as described above. :)

I'm looking into running a 10mm earth from the gas meter to MET. a portion of the route is through the external cavity wall, but it's filled with rockwool. i don't fancy running it up the outside of the wall in ducting stuff. are there any regulations against me doing that?

I've had a pretty bad experience using dulux fast drying gloss. It dried brill. white. all went well, until a month later when it started yellowing until it stopped at "butter yellow" :( I sent a paint sample to dulux who acknowledeged their was a fault in the paint. is it safe to use it...
