I currently have a 9.5KW Iflo shower that's developed an internal leak so need to change it. OH wants it upgrading to 10.5KW which I don't think is possible due to the consumer unit so wanting some advice please. My current Consumer Unit is a Wylex unit split into 2 separate circuits (upstairs...

I am looking for a new door seal for my Serie 8 washing machine (WIS28441GB/54) and the only place I can find them is the Bosh website but there are 2 different seal descriptions ( Boot gasketsuds resistant, without ligthing nozzle F2i (EPDM)687764 - grease resistant (NBR) and Boot gasket...

I’m looking at using Dulux diamond Matt but seen mixed reviews on application so looking at other paints that are easy to clean. Has anyone any views on Johnstones durable compared with the Dulux.

Leak found Trv connection needed tweaking

Just found fernox leak sealer which gets good reviews. Is it worth trying?

I drained my sons heating system last Friday and installed 2 new radiators and capped off another after removing it. We used a combination of speedfits and had to solder 2 elbows. Anyway the system was refilled and worked fine until yesterday when the pressure dropped to zero. He re pressured it...

Im draining my sons Combi system tomorrow and replacing a couple of radiators but removing one permanently. I intend capping the pipes but just wondering if not being able to bleed the air out of the pipes is likely to cause any issues.

Thanks for the replies my wife won't entertain Venetian blinds due to having to dust them :)

The track from the blinds would have protruded about 5 mm from the lintel. I've managed to find some handles that are literally 5mm less than the existing ones so it's sorted thanks.

We have perfect fit on the kitchen door. The idea of verticals is so we can tilt them so as to keep the sun from bleaching the furniture whilst still allowing light in the room.

I want to fit vertical blinds in front of a patio door but the door handles protrude 68mm and will interfere with the blinds. Anyone know of a door handle with a lower profile please as most sites give every measurement other than how far out they protrude.

Fan has now been replaced and fitted and is working fine but I have noticed that the original fan (fitted 5 years ago) was not fitted with an inline 3 amp fuse as stipulated in the instructions. The fan is fitted in the loft above the bathroom (it runs off the lighting ring main being protected...

Yes there is a permanent live as it is replacing the rubbishy Manrose which also had an over run thanks. Just very frustrated at a wasted afternoon now!

So my fan arrived, spent a couple of hours fitting it (hard to get to area in the loft and needed a mounting) switched on and didn't work but could feel heat from the PCB. Switched it off and removed it to send back as faulty and looked at the invoice in the box and noticed it wasn't actually...

Thanks for everyones help especially dishman. Couldn't get free delivery but £48 is miles cheaper than anywhere else. I had been looking at this but it had mixed reviews...

Yes it's a weedy Manrose SF100T that appears to be faulty. Any suggestions for a suitable replacement please? Don't want to spend too much though - this one lasted 5 years.

OK so as above I have an integrated bathroom extractor and light. The fan has stopped working but the light is fine. Any suggestions about what to check before I go and shell out another £75 please? All other electrics upstairs are working fine so not a fuse issue AFIK. This has happened on the...

It's now 22 years old and been serviced 3 or 4 times. Up until now I have not had a single problem with it. I understand what you are saying about the pipes but downstairs they are buried in the concrete floors. So this is probably another reason to leave things alone until it actually...

OK, I have always been of the opinion that if it's not broken leave it alone. The boiler has not been serviced for a few years (being BF I believe this is not a safety issue as such) but the wife WANTS the noise sorting!!! :D What suggestions to fix the noise problem please. (getting rid of...

Sorry about this but it's likely to be a long post as I think I need a new boiler and need some advice. My current CH system was installed when my house was built in 1985. The boiler is a Glow Worm Hide Away (Balanced Flue) with an output of 40,000 - 50,000 BTU. It's a pumped system with a...
