So just to make sure, you did fit the new cartridge with the blue ring on the bottom to the cold? If so, and if you bought a pair of cartridges, changing it for the new hot cartridge with the red ring might solve your problem, as the two cartridges open in opposite directions of rotation. I'm...

Was it a ceramic cartridge? Which cartridge did you replace? Was it the cold or the hot? Did you buy the relevant cartridge? Ceramic cartridges are handed, which means there's a type for the cold and a different type for the hot, they are mirror images as they open with rotation in the...

If you add pics you will get better responses.

If the manual states either 0w20 or 0w30 can be used, then either should be fine. According to Copilot search, both have the same cold-start viscosity, but the 0w30 has a higher viscosity at operating temperature, giving slightly less fuel economy but more protection, and may therefore be...

Looks a lot better. Where your acid solution was you can see the bricks are now lighter. The question is whether this will go darker like the rest. In my view, the darker colour could either be from weathering, or it could have been from the firing process, and the solution has removed a fine...

Also a pic would help.

Buy some new grab handles?

You could just try it on one crack. If it doesn't work, then you have to fill as well. Either way you need the paint.

To be honest I'm not that sure of how the internals of your mixer tap work. However, I'm assuming that the blue ring on your cartridge should sit on the metal around the hole shown and form a watertight seal. If it's not working when you try either cartridge, then it suggests maybe the ring...

It's hard for me to say without having one in front of me to look at. What I can say though, is that as you are looking down along the axis of the tap, the cold tap is opening clockwise, whereas the hot tap is opening anti-clockwise, that's the difference.

I just want to clarify. When you say "tap head" do you mean water is coming out of the tap spout, i.e. where water normally comes out, or do you mean it's coming out of where the tap attaches to the base of the mixer? Also, wherever it's running from, is it normal mains pressure speed or...

Also, this might be helpful - how a ceramic tap cartridge works:

I'm not an expert plumber but my view would be either the blue o seal has degraded, or the quarter turn cartridge itself is now faulty. So, it's probably new cartridge time. This video might help you out:

I've thought about this a bit more and your test of swapping the hot cartridge into the cold side is not valid, because the cartridges are handed, that's why you need specific cartridges for hot and cold, so they can both open by moving the tap the same way (when they're on different sides).

Making an assessment of the roof is a job itself. Charge what makes it worth your while doing it. Then tell the customer that charge would be deducted from the repair cost if they decide to go ahead. If they don't want to pay for the assessment, then move on. This does decrease the chance...

Pic required.

This suggests that on the cold side, a gland cannot turn the water supply off because there is damage in the tap seat, i.e. water can get through even when the tap is properly closed. Can you see any damage within the tap on the cold side that could be causing this?

Cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated pine. See also: https://www.iko.com/blog/roof-fascia-repair-replacement/

Roller should be ok, spraying is a bit more technical.
