Hi, The lever shown in the pic has come loose on the bathtub. It does not screw back now because of the black cable holding the gear inside the lever pocket. Does the black cable need to be detached for proper installation? And can it be reattached in the end? Many thanks for your help.

Hi, I've a Vaillant ECOTEC PRO 28 boiler that is ~4 years old, coupled with EPH Combi Pack 4 wireless thermostat. I bought this system with 10 years warranty and 5 free services.

Hi, I've moved into a house where I've a cistern that looks like the attached pic. Issues: 1. Both half-flush and full-flush are a tad hard to press. 2. The half-flush was not working so I extended the plastic leg inside but it used to slip upon pressing. So I added some tape to add to its...

Hello, The tap on my bathroom tub has gone very loose. There is no leak but I guess it was not tightened correctly while installing in the inaccessible far side of the tub. There is no way to reach the underside of tap without taking the whole tub out, which we are not prepared to do as it...

Hi, finally taken the plunge to test the relay at the back of fridge. Please refer to the attached pics. There is power on the earth as well as exposed metallic parts of chassis!! However, the live and neutral cables to the capacitor seem to be live. Does that imply that the relay is gone? Any...

Hi, If you look at your privacy settings, the setting for 'Start conversations with you' is set to only allow private messages from 'people you follow'. If you change this to 'members only', then other users can private message you. Just fixed mine.

Hmmm.. must be before we moved in (~2 years ago). Is it a bad thing, so should I clean it and how? My wife has noticed another powdery spotty 'thing' on the inside top edge of the same exterior wall, although it is on the inside of another window. She says it keeps coming back despite cleaning...

Hi, Should I repair this door sill by removing the sill along with any the rotting wood under the door, then insert new timber underneath the door OR should I get a new door? The door is Aluminium double glazed and feels quite strong compared to UPVC, so willing to hold on as long as possible...

Hi, Can someone please check this picture of fascia on the front of my house and advise what it is? Thanks.

So I've checked the power source and fuse, they are both fine. Do I start with relay next as others have pointed? Can you please share the location of the relay? Is it inside the black plastic enclosure with 2 white and 1 black cable? The small white cylinder with black cable on top is capacitor?

Can you please send me a message?

This is quite expensive indeed, we may take the 'perfect-fit blind' route for now.

Hi Ronnie, I need 2 sealed blinds for my patio doors, measurements are: 1783mm by 633mm. I don't need them as electric, not sure what magnet operation is, but happy to use them as manual levers on the side if that works out cheaper?

Hi, My wife has seen some enclosed blinds that were really thin and installed on someone's brand new patio door. I think they look like these: https://www.addonblinds.com/ Any idea what are they called? Can they be installed on typical UK patio doors with glass beading like this? Any pointers...
