    Slightly tilted metal gate

    Thanks for all your helpful replies. Yes its the left gate and I've no idea how the bracket was fitted in the brickwork. Gate was made and fitted by a local company. I've contacted him numerous times as well as visited him but he's never bothered to come and look at it, let alone sorting it out...

I've tried to fix it by lifting it from the far end and then tightened the hinge but that made little to no difference. I think the problem is...

    Private car parking fine

    They really are greedy buggers. Invoice clearly shows I paid and Justpark app proves I had paid for the duration I was parked in that car park so they've absolutely no ground to reject my appeal. I'll post the question on consumer action group and would see what they suggest.

    Cold Radiators

    Closed all the TRVs as terryplumb had suggested apart from the ones I'm trying to fix. The one which was partially getting hot seems to be getting a lot more water now.

    Cold Radiators

    I had checked the TRV on the one that's not heating up at all and the pin is moving freely. If I press it, it goes down and then gets back to its normal position. Lockshield is also fully open. I've bled the rads, water is coming out from the problem ones and boilder pressure is 1.5 bar. I like...

    I can't thank everyone enough for their help. I've got Dulux Trade Diamond Matt. As I'm painting on top of another paint, I guess I don't need to dilute the paint?

    Dulux Trade Diamond Egg Shell on plaster

    Thank you for replying. I'll stick to the same paint for both coats. I've got zero experience of egg shell paints. Are they good for interior walls? I want a matt finish and I'm concerned egg shell might be more silky? I'm also thinking about this one...
