    Neff Warming Drawer

    Our Neff warming drawer (N22H40N0GB/01) has failed. Google suggests that a common fault with these results in the power led flashing. In our case the power led does not come on at all. (And yes I have checked the fuse in the plug.) I've been trying to find an assembly drawing to see if I can...

    Drawer front fixing

    Bit of a long shot, but looking for a replacement fixing like the one in the image. It fixes drawer front to drawer side, and one is broken. If I can't one the same (which I suspect will be the case), any suggestions for alternatives. (Chipboard side, MDF front). Thanks

    BT 631A onto extension wire.

    I've need to install a fall alarm for a relative. Should be straightforward. Unplug phone, plug phone into base station of alarm, plug alarm into BT master socket. Job done. But, the fall alarm wants all phones to be connected via base station, so that it can interrupt any calls in progress...

    Reliable dimmers

    Has anyone found a reliable make of dimmers? The ones I have used in the past (Aurora I think) seem to fail too regularly. I'm also intrigued why some specify the maximum number of lamps, as well as a maximum wattage. I want to dim 15 g9 LEDs in a fitting, and some dimmers specify a maximum of...

    ID These hinges

    I'm looking to replace these hinges (as they don't spring shut any more). Can someone advise on a suitable replacement. The range of hinges is so great the chances of me selecting the wrong one is quite high. They are the centre hinge for a pair of doors on a corner cupboard.

    Hard wearing matt finish

    The wooden plinths in our kitchen were painted (sprayed) by the company who made the kitchen, but over time the action of a mop against them has rubbed off some of the paint back to bare wood. I'm going to get the paint colour matched, but was wondering on the best products for a matt finish...

    Threaded elbow wall plate

    I'd like to install a bib tap which has a GEKA style connector on the inlet, as well as the outlet. My problem is all elbow wall plates seem to be either compression or end flow, and I need one with a female thread on the supply side. Am I hunting for something that does not exist, or just...

    Hoover HP 2300 001 - Take apart

    I'm trying to replace the switch on a Hoover HP2300 001 upright, but can't fathom out how to take it apart. Any clues anyone? Or source of exploded diagram?

    Stairwell sensor

    I'm looking at replacing this old PIR which is at the top of the stairs, and has a downwards facing sensor. Can someone suggest a good replacement. (And yes the dodgy wiring will be sorted and I will screw it to the wall, rather than use double sided tape as the original installer did.)

    Lead Times

    A question for the professionals here. For boiler and radiator replacement, what sort of lead time do you generally have? If I wanted the work done in say May, when should I start looking for someone? Or is it never too early?

    Composite doors

    I'm looking at replacing a hardwood front door with a composite one. Knowing nothing about composite doors, can anyone give any advice on things to look out for, good/bad makes etc.? Thanks

    Automatic Bypass Valve

    Does it matter if all the pipework to and from an automatic bypass valve is fully lagged? Or to put it another way, is the purpose of the abv to ensure circulation, or to circulate and lose some heat?

    FP720 timer - battery backup?

    I have had a Danfoss FP720 two channel timer fitted recently, and it loses it's time (but not schedule) whenever it loses power, and then displays U15. Internet search suggests it does have battery backup, but nothing about a user replaceable battery. Faulty unit, or am I missing something?

    Overwinter - MPDE on the surface

    I'm looking at using black MPDE run the length of the garden to connect to an irrigation system. It will be teed into the feed for an existing outside tape, with an associated isolation valve and double check valve. It is not possible to bury the pipe for most of its length, so intend to drain...

    Radiator bracket clicking

    I have a radiator that has started clicking due to expansion/contraction. It is one bracket causing it. Any trade tricks to cure this without removing the radiator? I did wonder about silicon spray?

    Painting varnished doors

    All our internal doors have been varnished a deep mahogany colour. We are looking to a more modern look, so the doors will not look right. The doors are good quality, fit well, and have no blemishes. Am I wasting my time even considering painting them? Thanks

    Pegler AD3 adaptor

    Bit a of a long shot this one, but does anyone know where I might be able to obtain a Pegler AD3 TRV adaptor (or three)? Pegler no longer make them, but someone might have some stock or one in their spares box. They are probably 3D printable if I can find one to copy (or a drawing). Thanks

    Pyronix Mini - Volume Options

    I've just had my trusty old panel replaced with a Pyronix Mini, and the exit sounds are far too loud. Before I call the maintainers back, what options do I have? Can I have different volumes for set, set confirmation, and entry? The set confirmation needs to be loud (to get through one...

    System Ignoring controls

    My parents have just moved into a retirement flat, and it seems that the heating has a mind of its own. Hopefully someone can give me ideas on where the problem might lie. Boiler is Baxi, about 15 years old. It looks like the controls may have been updated recently, as there is a Honeywell...
