This was a self build conservatory. I built it with help about 8 years ago. Photos 1&2 is how it looked before. Photo 3 is a sketch of how I remember the End piece. I always thought it was a sealed unit. Photo 4 is the finished job. Photo 5 is the leak. I've had 4 "Roofers" on this and photo 6...

One section of the Conservatory has "Blown" so I am ordering a new Pane. But why is there a Gap between the Glass and the Frame?

Just bought this and it won't move. Valves opened. It says in the Instructions to use a Spanner to adjust something, but I can't figure it out. It will not budge left or right. What am I doing wrong?

I was in a Guest House and saw these 2 USB sockets.....I plugged my iPhone in and it went crazy, the lightning symbol the normal shows charging was going crazy, flashing on and off,......and it started to DRAIN the Battery....same in both. I tried my Plug and Charger and it worked fine. What...

This is a self-build Conservatory about 10 years old. I have had a small leak from the start, where it butts the Building and it comes through where the Leg is, on the inside. I have had 2 different roofers work at it but they could not stop it. There is Flashband & Roofing Seal over the Joint...

This Bungalow is late '50, and as far as I know, the Cavity walls are full of insulation. Am thinking of removing this as it serves no purpose. Would there be any problems?

I have just had a Heat Pump installed and am not impressed with the time it takes to heat the living room. We kept all our old rads. On line it's recommended a bigger size Rad or Aluminum Rads. Any thoughts please.......

Any ideas on how I can get this clean. I'm getting the Profis in to clean the whole roof.......but not sure how they will handle this....

In the early '70s, a friend & Myself were working in the Pipefitting trade. We went to London to do a test so we could goto Norway to build Oil Rigs. I think one of the tests was to explain how to build a "Fish back Bend".....my memory may be playing tricks now......does anybody know what this was?

I am haveing a 5Kw. Heat Pump system installed. The quote is for a single coil unvented HWC 200L = £1288. Install said Cylinder in a Bungalow £1470. Are these prices about right?

This was an outside shower for washing dog. How can it rust?

I have an 8cm Step in the Kitchen, I think it was the Garage earlier. I am nearly 80 and getting worried about the Step, Fridge, Dishwasher, and Washing Machine are all in the lower part. I was planning on raising the Floor and also to raise the Floor in the adjoining Room so doing away with the...

My 10sqm.Conservatory is cold. The floor is tiled and it is about 8cm below the house floor, which is a bit awkward at my age. I don't think the 2 dwarf walls have cavity insulation as I am getting mould on the inside. I have put a small amount of Insulation on the outside walls covered with...

I'm trying to find an extension Lance for Parker PEPW-310 Power Washer. Parker are no help. I Need it to reach weeds that are growing between the Solar Panels on roof. Or any idea how to get rid of them?

I have just had a call from British Gas about my application to have a Heat Pump installed. I told him that I was happy with my existing Rads., but he said I must have bigger Rads. BY LAW. I find this hard to believe. He then quoted me over £6000 on top of Goverment Grant, for a small semi...

Any advice on Vinyl planks with integrated insulation? Howden's do them but they are expensive...

In the early 70's I worked around Leeds erecting Street lighting. The Poles would already be in position, so we would just slip the lighting unit onto the pole and tighten it up. We didn't have hydraulic lifts like today. I seem to remember it worked on cog wheels. On the back of the lorry...

About a month ago British Gas fitted a Smart meter. My EDF FIT meter was working fine up to then. A week after I noticed the FIT meter was not working. I assume the engineer disconnected it to do his work. What needs to be done. Have contacted British Gas but still waiting (3 weeks)

Had this fitted about 3 months ago. I was told when "Red" appears I was to turn the Black handle the other way as 2 bottles on left were empty. I forgot and after a while I noticed that I was still getting hot water. Closed the valves on the bottles on the right, and am still getting hot water...
