combi boiler, no cold water tank. central heating working, hot water to taps in bathroom working, hot water tap in kitchen not working. Any thoughts?

I went to b&q tonight to see the gripit but they sold out after having been reduced to clear. couple of tips I've received re the metal self drilling type is to make a hole first of all and to use wd40 to make sure the screw does not stick. ++++++++++++ Moderator's note The Gripit spammers...

thanks

thanks for suggestions

yes, probably the best way to make sure it's secure

yes, I saw these on dragon's den. bit expensive but I notice that b&q are discounting them at the moment.

I've never had a great deal of success with plasterboard fittings. The screw in the first photo tends to want to turn the actual rawlplug and the second needs a huge hole. What's the best type to use for a steel pole with a light curtain?

These are the radiators we are reoplacing. can anyone tell me the likely wattage of these?

yes, I can see the logic there

the damp is over the whole wall and is black in colour. It is on the inside of an exterior cavity wall. There is a letter box but little ventilation and the door is a snug fit. There is an internal door at the top of the stairs.

Apologies for my original message. There's always a tendency to assume the reader can visualise the property. perhaps better to explain that these 4 in a block are like 2 semis split between the ground and first floor to provide 2 self contained flats. each flat has a ground floor door with the...

we own an upstairs four in a block flat that was built in the 1950's. the entrance door is on the ground floor with stairs leading up to the accommodation. there is central heating with double glazing and a uPVC front door. the area where you come in the front door has always been troublesome in...
