Hello, my new'ish electric shower has a great flow when cool/cold but slows significantly when turned to nice and hot. Is this normal and can this be improved at all? Thank you

Hello, where our internal wall meets the ceiling (it's an outside wall on our bungalow) we have damp/wet patches right across. The gutters are clear and when I look in the loft I can see a hole in the roof liner above this area so I assume this is my issue but would one hole cause wet patches...

Hello, with the stub and gear removed, I turn the stub and the gear turns with it but if I hold the gear and turn the stub in either direction the gear stays still and the hub still turns freely. Thanks

Thank you, the button doesn't hold the blade sadly. I've taken it all apart and re the picture attached, the end I'm holding is where the blade is bolted on and the other end is the cog that engages with the motor and the blade lock button. When I turn it the cog turns but when I turn it and...

Thank you everyone, I'll try and find an exploded diagram for it. Re the button, it seems to do nothing when pressed and I turn the blade (with no power). I don't think it's a blade issue as it worked fine that morning cutting wood, then it suddenly stopped spinning. But the red button on the...

Yes it worked fine with this blade then suddenly stopped working when I went to cut the next piece of wood.

I've just tightened it, hardly any play in it, when I press the on switch the motor fires up and the blade spins a little but when press on to some wood it stops. The safety button I assume is also broken as it does nothing and doesn't seem to be connected to anything, I assume a bit has fallen off.

Thank you, the blade spins freely by hand with or without the button being pressed

Thank you, I've just looked at the saw and the safety switch doesn't seem to be connected to anything? I've attached a picture, should this press the black button behind it? Thank you

Hello, my mitre saw blade no longer spins, the motor spins as normal on the button though. Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you

Thank you I'm glad I asked!

Hello, re the attached image, someone told me that the lever pictured drains the system via the overflow pipe? Is this correct? I only ask as I plan to add a new radiator (in a bungalow) and thought this may be a good way to drain the system to add the new radiator. Thank you

Thank you, yes it has dual options but it's simply electric for us, yes it came with an inhibitor. But you got me thinking about inhibitor as I put new radiators on a few months ago and I'm about to replace another this week, could I add the inhibitor to this new one for the whole system, its...

Hello, the instructions I have do not state the liquid capacity and I want check if I need this or simply fill it until full. Any advice appreciated. Thank you

Hello, our patio doors sit on the blue bricks and inside the internal bricks are the step inside. I plan to remove the internal step/row of bricks however the cavity needs filling so the internal floor can run up to the patio doors, should I fill the gap with expanding foam? I hope this makes...

Hello, my friend is looking at building a property in his large rear garden but his driveway/access to the plot is just under 10ft wide. Is there a minimum width required for access when looking at planning? Any advice appreciated.

Ahh thank you, I didn't realise the brick above should hold if removed carefully. And thanks re the tip for building control, I assume this is required and they will check its all correct. I'll make some calls tmrw. Thank you

Hello, we plan to remove a small window and external door and replace with one window. It's a bungalow and the external brick goes to the facia and the internal brick goes 2 layers higher and the loft joists/roof sits on this. I'm asking on here to understand myself but I've got builders...

Hello, we plan to remove a small window and external door and make it in to one large window. Re the lintel, do we require a structural engineer inorder to buy the correct lintel or can you work it out yourself? Any advise appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I have purchased a mixer tap and the tails go up in to the tap body and I can only assume hand screw in? Does this sound correct? I've tried this but the base of the tap is now wet when connected so I can only assume its not fully sealed. Any advice appreciated. Thank you
