    Was his name Trigger by any chance ? - Had the same toilet for those 40 years, just put 10 new pans and and 10 new cisterns on it over that time...... :LOL:

    Cladding with Redland vertical tiles

    Thanks Datarebel. I understand now - I thought that all the tiles were 160mm wide. I think the other tiled gables that I looked at in my area had Winchester cut construction - Not sure what kind of vertical tiles they used, they look thinner than my Redland tiles. I had to decide between dry...

    Cladding with Redland vertical tiles

    Thanks for the post Noseall - Dormers looks good. I'm not a big fan of the uPVC shiplap, but that's personal preference I suppose. What is that tile cladding on the dormers called ? I saw similar on a house near mine and told my builder that was what I wanted but he couldn't identify what the...

    Cladding with Redland vertical tiles

    The tiles that were fitted are only 160mm wide. That's why I think the top RHS tile is on it's side....

    Cladding with Redland vertical tiles

    Thanks very much for your reply Datarebal - I feel a bit better about this now. I had thought that the scuffs would become a lot less noticeable once the tiles get a bit of weathering. What concerns me about the top tiles is how he's supported them : I know that if they're hung as normal...

    Cladding with Redland vertical tiles

    I hadn't really looked too closely at that until you mentioned it.... It looks very much to me like someone has fitted a vertical tile sideways. :(

    Cladding with Redland vertical tiles

    I recently had some cladding work done on the pitched roofs on my house using Brown Redland vertical tiles. As soon as they were installed I noticed unsightly marks on many of the tiles. I assumed that this was just dust until I washed them down with water and found that the surfaces of many of...

    Awful build quality and terrible customer support from HP

    HP finally repaired my computer - Thanks for all the advice and suggestions received. (y) I was and still am disappointed with the HP Service Center's initial attempts to "fob me off". I am not the kind of person who would make an unjustified warranty claim - but of course, and to be fair to...

    Stopcock on mains water

    I always turn the water off if I'm going away for more than a day or two because of what happened to me a few years ago : I went away for work and left the water on. It was the summer and unusually hot weather - The sunlight shone in through my upstairs bathroom window on to part of the toilet...

    Awful build quality and terrible customer support from HP

    Thanks for the suggestion - I'm would be reluctant to go down that route because really the liability t o honour the warranty is with HP, but I will leave all options open. Hopefully I will get some better responses from HP next week - I will post what happens on here.

    Awful build quality and terrible customer support from HP

    Thanks for the idea. I already raised it on HP UK's Users Forum and I've had someone from HP reply saying that they would help. I will see if that results in some positive action, if not I'll raise it on HP's facebook page as you suggest. I have always been fair with suppliers: I once had a...

    Awful build quality and terrible customer support from HP

    Thanks for the idea. I did pay by credit card so I can investigate if they can help me in any way, but the liability is really with HP to honour their warranty. I will consider taking legal action unless HP stop their current approach of trying to fob me off by saying the issue is not covered by...

    Awful build quality and terrible customer support from HP

    Thanks for the suggestion - I will try that if I don't get a better response from UK HP Customer Relations who are meant to contact me soon. I have been appalled by the response from UK HP Customer Support so far. I spent about £800 on the laptop and did nut misuse it in any way. So far HP are...

    Awful build quality and terrible customer support from HP

    I bought a Pavilion 14-ce2000na laptop last year - It is still under warranty. Since I purchased the unit it has not travelled. It has only been used in one desktop location and only closed when not in use. In May I noticed that the bezel was starting to lift away from the screen in the...

    Want to get windows replaced properly this time....

    Many years ago the original steel framed windows on my property (built in the early 50s) were replaced with aluminium framed double glazed windows - This was a very long time ago but I remember it like it was yesterday. The aluminium windows were fitted by what I now know to be cowboys and were...

    Windscreen cover seems to be setting off my car alarm

    Thanks John, I've done a bit more searching around the internet and I'm not alone in having this problem.... As the alarm went off as I put the cover on, like you I reckon that it was either the motion being sensed or the sensors seeing an obstruction that caused the alarm to go off. Not...

    Windscreen cover seems to be setting off my car alarm

    I bought a foil covered windscreen cover at the weekend which is secured by two "flaps" that you trap with the front doors. I have a Toyota Celica. I put the cover on last night as a hard frost was forecast. As I placed the cover on the windscreen my car alarm went off. At the time I assumed...

    Shower drain trap missing air seal

    Thank you very much - The grill on my drain is certainly a dead ringer for the VSG52T6WH... I'll try to order up a VSG52T6WH from somewhere to obtain the parts that I am missing.
