Thanks for taking the time to respond ExpertGlazing. My mistake, it was another salesman who showed me the video. 'twas something like this Although he accidentally tried to phone his manager to reduce the price of the quote, which did not go down well with me or my wife :evil::evil:. The...

Morning/afternoon. as you may kow my front door lock broke, and I have had no luck getting a locksmith out to fix it. (If you are locksmith based in Manchester please check your voicemails :evil:) Anyway, my wife has now told me that she would like a new front door anyway. I have had a very...

yes, I am 99.999999% it is just the catch. What do you mean by "bending a scraper in"? Is this something that I can do?

Evening....or Morning. My wife and I are currently stuck in the house..............OK, slight exaggeration as we can still use the back door. We tried to unlock the front door this evening to go to Asda when something "snapped" in the front door (It sounded like a spring). Since then we can...

Just to close this off. My stairs are now 99% creak free. I assume when the new carpet is laid they will be 99.9999999999% creak free. Thanks to everyone (especially Big All) who helped me sort this out Ps, the risers looked liek they were 3-5 sheet ply so I could not screw into them

Thanks Big All for taking the time and effort to right such a thorough reply. Thanks also for finding the product for me to buy (That would have been my next question). However, after reading your post several times, looking at my stairs, reading your post again, holding my chin for a...

Glad to see I am not the only one HERTSDRAINAGE2010. Yes, I can push a flat driver between some of the treads and the riser, (I am assuming the riser is the vertical piece of plywood at the back of each step), this was how I found out that there was not a supporting sawtooth type frame at the...

Afternoon / Evening all. I took this afternoon off to complete what I thought was going to be a 10 minute job...................Nothing is ever that easy :oops: :oops: After removing the old carpet from my staircase I was wanting to stop the stairs in my 1970s house from squeeking. I...

Thank you

Afternoon board. Well 2 years after getting some fantastic advice on here regarding my Potterton Suprima boiler locking out. (I got the PCB changed and all has been smashing) I have now got a new fault with it. All of a sudden the boiler does not fire up at all but instead makes a...

Afternoon Board. I have been instructed by my wife that I need a new project :shock: We live in a 1970s house with a 1970s staircase. To start the ball rolling, and as we had nothing else to do, we had a stroll around B&Q The was basically 3 different materials to choose from...

Just a quick update on this thread. I caved in and called a plumber out who said it would be one of 2 things 1) the pump is noisy and so could be on its way out 2) the card is suspect The pump was changed for £125 (parts and labour) but this did not cure the problem. He then...

Cheers everyone. I will carry on with it.............. Slowly

Oh right :D If I don lay it till the end I October will tha still be ok? I ask as I'm not the fastest worker in the world :oops: And this constant rain is REALLY slowing me down

Just a quickie, I am in Manchester (North England) and I am wondering is it too late to lay a new lawn? Currently I have no lawn whatsoever having dug it all up. I would like to let the ground "settle" over the winter However the dog is walking mud into the house and apparently it is my...

Hi sorry for hijacking this thread, but I followed Thermo's advice and I have fully rotavated my 100m2 lawn, However I now have a problem. The soil in parts has become exceptionally springy. I have trampled it down, so much so my knees are VERY sore but there are parts that will not...

you mean one of these? http://www.screwfix.com/p/fernox-tf1-total-filter-22mm/84311 I take it once the system is drained out, I cut one of the big pipes above my boiler. Does it matter which one I cut? Also, will the residual water that is left in the system (there will always be a...

Ok Thanks John / Tony. your help and patience has been much appreciated. After my holidays I'm going to give it another good flush out, put X800 in for 18 -24 hours and leave the boiler to pump it round. Then flush it out again then add x100 and cross my fingers.

It is a pressurised system
