Thanks for the Good News Richard................. I googled Paramount Partition and it seems just what I have, the saving grace may be that behind the wall is a staircase, and I am hoping that the Wooden edge which butts up to the partition will pass through the area where I want to fit the...

Thanks for your advice, BUT.............. I have tried locating studs in wall, and have only found one in the area where the telly should go. When I removed a wall between bathroom and airing cupboard previously, it seemed to consist of two pieces of plasterboard conected by a cardboard...

Pigtails? What are they?

Thanks, I didn't think about trying to fit it into the Studs, Good Idea. I just need to find the studs now, how far apart would they be approx. I don't have a stud detector, just a sharp needle point to press through the Plasterboard.

We have just purchased the mother of all tellys and I plan to fit it on the wall. The wall we want it on is a Stud Wall between the lounge area and Staircase. I have a bracket suitable for it (up to 60") I plan to use Heavy Duty Anchor Bolts to fit the Bracket to the wall. There will...

Thanks mate I will get a flow valve ordered then

Thanks Karl, Am I correct that the solenoid unit is causing the leak, even though the leak is coming from the tap? Is the Solenoid unit the black assembly in the bottom right hand corner, which has loads of screws around its cover? as the leak is coming from the assembly above that...

It is leaking from Number 9 on the right hand picture. The leak seems to be coming from between the two parts of the assembly. I also thought it might have cracked, but, I cant see anything. The leak comes from the left hand side of that unit hitting the large "tank" Number 5 and then exitting...

My son has a Galaxy UNO MX LX8.5 shower when it is switched on the water leaks from inside the shower casing. After switching off the leccy, I took the cover off. The water seems to be leaking from the Flow Assembly (the tap) I have dismantled the assembly and cannot see why. I have found...

If I wanted to remove the window beading to check packing, how would I remove it? or does this depend on the Window?

Our UPVC front door seems to have slipped down by about 1/4 inch on the lock side. We can notice a small gap at the top and it looks a bit askew. The locking mechanism seems to have got very stiff too. The hinges are screwed to the edge of the door, with a plate on the inside of the door...

Hi I have a mixer tap in the kitchen which operates on a quarter turn. It was leaking quite badly, a steady stream, I dismantled it, reassembled and now it drips. I took the handle off with an allen key, undid the nut to remove the works. Inside is a tube which contains a white thing...

Checked it today, and one of the clips had come undone, so releaesing the seal a bit. The actual piece of laminate lifting was about 1" long and not even 1/2" from the edge of the sink. I lifted the end of the sink, sealed it with silicon. Put the sink back ensuring all clips are secure...

We had a new worktop and sink fitted about 18 months ago, we have just noticed that the laminate is starting to lift (like a a 1" square blister) at one end of the sink. Any ideas how to cure this, it looks like the seal wasn't fitted properly under the edge of the sink. I thought if I...

I have just had problems with my pump, is the pump definitely working when CH is on? Hold large screwdriver to bleed screw on pump and press other end to your ear, you can then hear if pump is running, you may even be able to decipher what screeching noise is. EDIT: Put blade of screwdriver...

I have found the following on screwfix is this valve ok Drayton MA1/679-3 £ Port motorised valve for £58.71 less 10% B & Q do a Sunvic SDMV2304 for £40.68 Which would be best?

Hi Thanks for your reply, I have now got home and have discovered more about the problem. The programmer switches both HW and CH on at 16.30 before this my wife had managed to get CH by twiddling thermostat and switching CH on and off at programmer. When I got home the CH was off. The 3...

Thanks for your prompt reply, I have downloaded and printed the guide you suggested. Will see what I can do myself from there, I am not sure if wiring will be same colour as ours is an old system, at least 20 years! Is there a way of checking if the valve is operating correctly, apart from...
