Can a professional plumber recommend a good brand / supplier of domestic sink/bath tap washers ? I hate those cheap plastic ones from eBay that fall apart after 3 months of use.

I'm looking to install a basic domestic wi-fi heating controller to replace a Danfoss FP975 control box. The unit currently controls CH & DHW. My boiler is an old fashioned back-boiler and not a modern condenser type. I'm looking for (at least) simple on/off control via android app for each (CH...

My existing domestic ch/hw system has a Danfoss HSV3B - 3 port valve installed and I want to know if I can do a straight swap to HSV3. I understand from the Danfoss literature that the "B" version spindle rotates through 45 degrees and the other rotates through 360 degrees, but I don't...

Brilliant! Thanks!!!!

I need a solution to this building problem I have a doorway between two semi-detached properties that I want to remove a replace with brickwork. The dividing walls are 2 bricks deep (no cavity). The original brickwork on one side of the property was removed to the width of approximately 2...

Well, I did take the paint back to Homebase and showed them some photographs and was offered a full refund, although the staff had not seen this effect before one expert stated that the u/c was water based and the gloss oil based and the effect may have been due to this. As stated above, having...

The paint was purchased the day before application from a local Homebase in Leicester who, I would think, sell a fair bit of paint. I've checked the bottom of the tin for any sediment, but can't feel any, the paint appears to be the same consistancy throughout, although slightly more thinner...

Thank you for taking time to comment. The u/c tin suggests 2-4 hrs drying time. I allowed 16 hrs (overnight) Both tins were stirred. The u/c was rubbed down with a light grade dry sandpaper and the dust wiped off with a clean cloth. The u/c was dry and did not "pull" or "wrinkle". No sugar...

I've used Dulux Weathershield many times in the past (prior to 2010) and have always been very pleased with the results both in terms of consistency and finish. I've always gone out of my way to pay a little bit extra for the better results. As you can imagine, I could not believe my eyes...

This seems to have happened to me too. I've used Weathershield many times in the past and have always been pleased with the results both in terms of consistency and finish. I could not believe my eyes when, after about five minutes of painting I came across this result. After forking out...

I would agree with zipper. You could try these people to get a fixed price quote, but no guarantee 2 days after the repair, the main pcb will pop! http://www.repaircare.co.uk

Open the door, cup your hand up against the chassis and with your fingers, push the drum up. If you can feel a little give/movement (other than the normal circular movement) its very likely the bearings may have gone and will need replacing. Crap bearings is a great way for HP to make a wm...

My 6 year old Miele Dishwasher G1180vi - stops 6 minutes after the beginning of a cycle, the buzzer sounds and all the YELLOW lights flash. Opening the unit reveals water sitting at the bottom. After switching the unit off and back on again, closing the door DOES allow the water to drain...

Just lost the use of rad. cooling fan on my mk6 escort ghia 16v zetec, causing the engine to overheat. Does anyone know how to test or bypass the temperature switch at the source? When disconnected from the switch, The loom end has 4 wires. The terminals are marked 1 to 5 with no...

Any clever spark out there that can tell me the brand name and supplier of pattress box this is, please ? :wink: http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n547/spud1962/IMG_5957.jpg Yep. There is NO makers mark on the box. A similar box has a thread missing. I need to cannibalise one...
