    Grohe concealed cistern, have to hold button down to flush

    Hi, I have a Grohe 38690 cistern and you need to hold the button to flush and it flushes slowly. It looks like I have the flush valve 42774000 with blue air hose. I've removed the button (part 42357p10), when I put my finger over the air holes and press either button, i can feel resistance so...

    Gutter Replacement, looks to be awkward to do, suggestions?

    I guess my query is vague, just sharing a problem while I think of the best way to finish the job without making it a bodge. After further thought I think I'll cut off the existing rafter brackets, flatten off the render and make good with some mortar, then fix the new brackets on top of that...

    Gutter Replacement, looks to be awkward to do, suggestions?

    Good suggestion, gutters are at bungalow height and brown though, so they would be quite visible I think, I've also already bought all my new brackets. Not sure what you mean? Managed to remove most of the brackets by just unscrewing. It looks like they rendered after the gutters were fitted...

    Worcester Ri flow pipe elbow leaking

    The boiler was powered off as soon as I saw a drip on the casing, and I've only removed the casing to see how bad it looked, then looked in the manual to see what I was. I don't think that is too bad a thing or that I'm dangerous, if I was dangerous I would have just cracked on without a care...

    Next to my house I had an 18 metre long section of mature beech hedge, probably 3-4 metres tall. It was growing through the mesh fence which forms my boundary. The council own this hedge as it was on their side of the fence. They never maintained the hedge, i did it, which worked out ok...
