Anyone come across any products for either polishing out or filling in scratches on granite worktop (star galaxy) and dark grey satin finish floor tiles. I've searched but no luck,the scratches are not too deep.

Thank's for the reply wms, hear what your are saying does seem a waste of time if the crystals are soaked but will be changing windows as soon as funds are available probablly 2 years max so might give my idea a go out of curiosity if i cant find a quote for new units cheap enough.

I have 4 dg units that have blown and wondered if it's some how possible to remove the moisture from the inside of a double glazed unit rather than buy new units.This will only be a temporary fix as I plan to fit new windows when funds allow. I thought about drilling 2 holes one in the top...

About a year ago I replaceed the drum bearings on my Hoover quatro system 1300 ws136 washer/dryer. When I had the drum out I detatched 2 rubber push fit hoses that were held in place with some type of sealant. when re-attaching these hoses to the plastic outer drum I applied a little silicone...

Hi gas4you No frost stat near boiler, is it possible the boiler has one internally.

Hi corgiman, the boilers located in the utility at the rear of the kitchen, it does get cold in there when the boilers not on.

Did the same job myself recently. You need to put the toilet in position and draw around where the base sits, then mark on the floor opposite to the holes in the sides. Remove the toilet and join up the hole lines. Next you will need to measure how thick the walls of the base are, position the...

I have a Ideal mexico 2 rs60 boliler approx 15 years old. At 5:55 am this morning I noticed the boiler was on,but it's programmed to come on at 7:30am. There was frost outside so I thought there may be a frost stat. I consulted the manual but there is no mention of frost protection. Can anyone...

I have bought the above and it comes with solid chrome 10 mm tails attached. I also ordered some 10mm flexible hoses not knowing the tap came with tails already fitted. I would prefer to use the flexi's but there doesn't seem to be enough room inside the tap for them and I can't see how they are...

If the drum isn't spinning the probable cause is either the motor or the drive belt.The belt may have come off the pulley or broken. If the belts ok check the motor has power to it, if it has either the motors dead or the motors carbon brushes need replacing.

Don't know what went on there!!! I don't know technical terms for drains etc is there any picture of gulleys anywhere, the best way I can describe it is a 2' long bottle trap. Has anyone had any experience of the drain unblocking pipes that can be attached to pressure washers.

During recent building work my builder blocked a drain while cleaning up. I've cleaned out most of the mortar sand etc but the top of the u bend is out of reach. I've tried bent pieces of wire,screwdrivers etc but to no avail, is there anything on the market that will dissolve the mortar or any...

Thanks for the replies. Hear what you saying spark 123 but to go with my 16th edition qualification I have over 20 years experience which I have picked up along the way as a maintenance engineer out of interest. I'm in a bit of a farcical situation at the moment I have Sparkies, some just out...

Does anyone know which qualifications are needed to work on industrial electrics, is there a minimum legal requirement. I was informed in a previous job that an electrical qualification is required but not a specific one, hence as 16th edition is the quickest and cheapest to achieve that is why...

Are the bearing noisy! I recently replaced the drum bearing on my hoover washing machine due to them being very noisy. I noticed when removing the bearings that the grease from them was all over the back of the drum. However the wife didn't mention there being any grease on our clothes etc.

My Hoover quattro system 1300 washer dryers drum bearings have started to get noisy. Is it possible to replace the bearings or is it time to get a new machine. I've had a quick look and It looks like the whole drum assembly will have to be removed then separated to get access to the bearings...

Rather than go to all that trouble is there enough wire poking through the ceiling that you can use crimp connectors on, you only need about 25mm or so to get the crimps on or alternately you could use soldered joints covered with heat shrink.

Any specific reason or just personal choice. The 240v /12v transformer is feeding 4 led lights so a very low load so does the neutral need to be switched. The reason I would like to go with 2 gang 2 way light switch is I think it would look neater than 2x 2pole switches but of course I want to...

Sorry forgot to mention I already have the light fittings which are 6 x triangular 240v low energy and 4 x12v led with transformer. I think my idea is sound apart from is it ok to switch just the 2 live feeds using a 2 gang 2 way light switch which would be the neatest/ easier idea or should I...

Wifes changed her mind as usual and has decided we need lights in the display cupboards in our new kitchen and she would like to be able to switch them on independantly. I had already spurred off the ring to switched fused spurs in the 2 areas where we were just going to have undercabinet...
