Thanks sparkwright Plastic guttering Not previously painted Rustins or Crown on ebay

Will this type of paint be suitable for painting black guttering?

The previous posts have lead me to the product Zinsser Bulls Eye 123 Plus Primer Sealer Stain Block, and their related product Permawhite. Thanks to all.

My bath side panel is the original plastic and unpainted. It's off- white at present and I want it to be white which is the colour of the bath itself. I would appreciate advice on what type of paint I should use and what preparation should I do beforehand. Thanks

Thanks denso13. I've also emailed Fluidmaster for an explanation. I'll let you know if I get a reply.

Fluidmaster instructions say that the critical level mark on the inlet valve body should be 25mm above the overflow. I can't put it in to words but that doesn't seem correct to me. If it is correct can someone explain why.

Thanks for the links Rodders53. Currently as well as you there have been 79 views and no one has explained the function of that circular fitting with a hole in the middle. I am surprised!

My inlet arrangement in the photo is filthy and probably needs replacing. 1. But to satisfy my curiosity what is the function of the circular fitting with hole in the middle? 2. And if I decide to replace the washer within fitting, what is it called? Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks everyone for your useful comments.

My house drainage is into a cess pit. My WC cistern has a Siamp flushing system. So any overflows go into the pan rather than through a pipe to the outside. There is no hole in the cistern for a pipe. Two things could go wrong: 1. The outlet flushing button could stick which is easily fixed 2...

Thanks Wayners.

I had an outdoor bench seat stripped. I applied 3 coats of teak oil. It looked grand. But since having gone through last summer and winter white patches appeared as can be seen from the photo. Would appreciate advice on what to use for a lasting appearance.

Re CBW, just to bè sure what colour wire is the neutral? Re Murdochat, pulling off the knob sounds a good idea.

My new boiler was installed in Feb 2023. I saw the electrician doing something to the thermostat (on an interior wall by the way). I don't know if he fitted a new one. Must ask the boiler firm. In the meantime I send a photo of the inside of it.

I've already done that. Re CBW, installed 18 years ago perhaps that provides a clue. I could chat to our local electrician to see if has any experience. Thanks everyone.

Re Murdochat, I've put an ordinary thermometer next to it. And I always have to set the boiler thermostat 2 degrees more to get the boiler to come on. Re cross thread, no name on it but I'll try and send a photo. Re CBW, good point.

My newly installed Worcester Greenstar Danesmore system utility boiler has a modern time controller for separate water and room heating (Honeywell ST9400). The room heating side is linked to a wall mounted thermostat. That thermostat was previously linked to my old Grants boiler installed in...

Thanks Notch7. The outside wall is pebble dash applied many years ago. On the inside wall from the images, you can see a lintel above the window. It's 2 1/2" thick and has a sloping end to it. It's probably concrete. The other end can't be seen so clearly but scraping away the emulsion a...

That is a good point you make crank39 about the lintel. But just to be on the safe side the metal frame I was thinking about would be a thick steel box section square tube across the top and at the sides. To which the uPVC panel would be fixed.

In my old property I have a ground floor wooden framed window. The frame itself is sturdy and sound. But the wood around the small windows have deteriorated and need frequent maintenance. I would like to replace all the wood with double glazing. However I don't fully trust the lintel. Is it...
