I am replacing the old PVC sills in the conservatory with new mdf ones. Basically two L shapes. Just in case the angle isn't a straight forward 90 degree job, can anyone guide me in the best way to join them in the corners regarding marking / cutting etc? I was thinking of cutting one piece of...

I first changed the bulb but it's still not lighting fully so want to change the ballast. Currently fitted is a Landlite, Electronic Ballast for DD. Model: EB-18 Power: DD 16W It's got the Live and Neg going in one end and four wires coming out the other. Can anyone recommend a replacement as...

where it exits the wall? In my bathroom I have a shower cubicle where there is a "false wall" (can't think of the correct words!), where the water pipe runs up behind then to the shower unit from behind. I'm about to do a refurb on the bathroom and was thinking of having the water feed exit...

I changed over the syncro motor on the mid position valve to one I knew worked and it made no difference. I suspect it may be the printed circuit board on the mpv. If i'm wrong can someone tell me what it could be or where I should be looking, if I may be correct can you confirm that so I...

I have a line of these trees grown as a hedge between my driveway and neighbours. I am thinking of cutting the trees down to ground level and replacing with a brick wall. My neighbour and I both have Patterned Concrete Drives so we don't want to disturb these removing the roots. The footings...

I fitted a new toilet yesterday with a dual flush valve. There are no leaks externally but the water in the cistern is slowly leaking into the pan, resulting in the valve re-filling the cistern every so often. How do I stop this? It's annoying hearing the trickle of water. I didn't use any...

We have the above machine and just lately when the wife does the washing we have a small pool of water under the machine. I pulled the machine out this morning and checked for any split or wet hoses etc, found nothing. I then filled the machine and run it from the rinse and spin cycle...

Heating was working fine last night but today it's not. Hot water fires the boiler up fine. I moved the lever on the 3 way valve to heating but it made no difference, still wouldn't work. Is this a faulty vave that needs replacing or is there a smaller, cheaper, easier repair? It is an ACL...

I have a Glowworm Ultimate boiler which until recently has been okay. Now when the boiler starts up everything is fine until the gas ignites then it sounds like more like I have a petrol generator running. Would I be right in thinking that this could be a faulty gas valve an if so, any ideas...

I went to buy a new gas valve and when the guy took it out the box it looked completely different to the one fitted in the boiler at present so I left it. The part he took out the box was an 830 Tandem. Is this the correct part? On the front of my present one there's the adjustment for the...

My pcb packed up on Saturday with a pop and burning smell. Replaced it today, the old one was well fired on the bottom side and the fuse had blown, obviously. The new pcb fuse blew before firing up the boiler. What else do I need to look at now? Any gas fitters on here in the New Forest...
