I always break the thread if I use a power screwdriver anyway! Thanks for all your advice :) Can I just clarify though - you have something, say an outdoor light that needs to be attached to an outside wall. You are provided with 4 screws. How do you determine from those 4 screws, which plug...

Thanks Burnerman for the advice - I shall buy some of those. Thanks motorbiking - I'll take a look at the Wickes drills Thanks for replying :) 5.30am start, so I wish you gentlemen a good night :)

Thanks Burnerman - I had to look up HSS jobber drills! I've got a basic pack of drill bits that I used with my old drill - nothing big or fancy though; very basic. My old drill wouldn't cope with my outside walls and it would be great to have one that could - poor house won't know what's hit it...

Hi, I hope you can help. I need to buy a drill as my Black and Decker cordless tool pack has died - well the battery-charger/battery has and I only ever used the drill anyway. I'm thinking corded, as I don't want to lose another power tool, because the battery pack has died and it's not...

It's a while since my boiler was fixed - expansion valve replaced without removing the boiler - just the flu. Great guy; very pleased :) Thanks for asking

He did mention one of those and I can't remember why we decided no - I don't think there's really space, but thanks for suggesting it - could have been an idea. Thanks for the response :) Treena

Thanks for your reply :)

Hi, A plumber came round today to do a service on my boiler. I thought the fluctuations in my water pressure were not a huge deal, but apparently I am wrong! Anyway, everything he did and said checks out online - I have to keep topping up the water (now every day), but there are no leaking...

Hi, I would be very grateful for some advice. I have a flat roof that now needs re-layering - it currently has felt with reflective paint. I've had several quotes which have all been different (in what they are going to do and use, as well as cost) and I'm not sure if what I am being told...

Forget that- having a 'blond' moment; connection goes into the Sky box, not the TV - my TV was so old, I just thought it must be an outdated connector, but no - it's just me!

Just been given an LCD television; my old TV was a crt television. Have old Sky box and the Sky cable has an aerial type end i.e. wire sticking out - attached to old TV by putting wire in hole and then screwing it on. Don't think it was an actual aerial connection, as had a separate aerial...

Thank you - that's really helpful - I have been looking at the Mira mixers, but confused by the pricing - is it worth spending £300+ on the Mira Excel EV which apparently is the best selling shower in the UK? Would I be paying just for the look and be able to get just as powerful a flow with...

Hi, I had an electric shower installed about 4 years ago that is so bad it takes me a year to wash my hair! Now broken and so I have chance to replace with a good shower. I have a Greenstar 28i junior boiler (combi condenser) installed and I am open to any way of making sure I get the most...

Thank you accelerator; had a look at the manual - maybe the steam that goes down the pipe, if the over-heating valve kicks in, turns to water when it hits the cold air outside and flows back down the pipe? She's going to ring BGas tomorrow and ask if that is a poss scenario, so thanks for the...

Thank you for your reply accelerator - are there non-condenser combi's because she seemed pretty certain that although it is a combi, it is not a condenser combi?

Be very grateful for some help on behalf of my friend - she is no good on computers! Her boiler stops working every time the temperatures plummet and starts working on its own, once the temperature rises. She does not think it is a condenser boiler (we believe condensers can have the...

Hi KevPlumb, Only just got your email! Think server only just came back up, as had two other ones at exactly same time. Thank you so much for trying to help me - I kept checking the whole time they were here, but email 'closed for maintenance' the whole time! In end, my dad suggested...

Thanks Kevplumb - I've sent you an email, but just got message saying they are doing maintenance, so might be a while receiving anything back! Many thanks Treena

Hi, Thanks v much for your replys - if anyone thinks they can send info, please pm me for my e-mail address. Might have to postpone and contact Glow worm tomorrow - so near and yet so far! Many thanks Treena

Hi all, New here - really hope you can help. I have my qualified relly coming round tonight to do the settings on my boiler after a replacement valve has been fitted - apparently my dad says the flame is all wrong? He has asked me to get hold of a manual and although I have read online...
