Manufacturers will generally not refer to anything other than hard wiring their oven (regardless of power ). The only single oven I've ever seen that specifically mentioned that a 13 amp plug could be used was a Tecnik . And that wasn't a decent oven - It was a useless heap of junk which I...

Sounds like the motor brushes are worn out and need to be changed ! Arching because of poor contact between the end of the brushes and the commutator can cause the symptoms you describe.

I realise that it might be unavoidable due to the location of your cooker, but having ducting running that length (and upwards ) before it exhausts externally is far from ideal. The longer the duct the more resistance to air flow (back pressure). You are also likely to have fumes condensing and...

Any Insurance Loss Adjuster will tell you that (as long as nobody gets injured or worse) you're much better off having a fire than a flood. At least with a fire you clean things up and get on with putting everything right almost straight away - Even if water is used for fire fighting it is a...

Unless the deeds show very clearly that your garden is on part of his property then he has absolutely no basis on which to object to the current positioning of the fence - Particularly if it has been in that position for many years and was in that position when he originally bought his property...

Do you mean that the coving is starting to come away from the wall ?

Just wondering, why are you double boarding ? Sound insulation ?

Sounds like a challenge to me ! . :D - I'll give it a try. I must remember to put the spring around the seal before I put it onto the drum....

Thank you - I thought that the reference to possibly needing to remove the concrete counterweight on the video was nonsence. Incidentally, I also find absolutely no need to remove the motor on this machine to change the brushes. One brush is easily accessible, the other is more tricky but can...

Thanks for your help. I'm not sure I fully understand how the "pips" at the door lock are released, but I'll give it a try and hopefully figure out both how to get them to release and how to reattach them when reassembling. You've saved me taking off the top and the control panel - Thanks...

I'm just waiting for the part to arrive so I can change the door seal on my Bosch Exxcel 1200 Express washing machine. Just one thing I haven't figured out - How to get the front of the machine off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhpBQTPmyNs The Espares video shows that for the...

Whatever they're doing it sounds like they're going to end up with a right dog's dinner ! . :lol:

I can't see any good reason to replace them - The roof is perfectly sound and watertight. All I want to do is find a suitable coating that I can put on to improve the appearance of the roof. The rest of the house looks quite modern so the faded roof stands out.

I had two leaking chimneys on my house. I couldn't see any obvious reason for the leaks - The flashing looked (and was) fine. I've since had both chimneys fixed. The problem on the first chimney was that it had developed some cracks in the brickwork and very minor cracks in the plasterwork...

I have some asbestos cement shingles on my roof which are in a very similar condition to those on the right hand side of this photograph : The roof is fine but I'd like to improve it's appearance. The first step will be to powerwash the roof. After that I'm wondering if there is...

Out of the system via a radiator bleed valve as stated ! - Usually found at the top right hand corner of radiators. :wink:

Bleed some water out - Radiator bleed valves.

I reckon you should be OK after about five weeks. You can speed up the process by putting a de-humidifier in the room and sealing the room as well as possible - De-humidified air draws the water out of the the screed much faster. Give it a few days before you start de-humidifying so that...
