    large gap between plaster and door frame

    Thanks @JobAndKnock. This is very helpful. The stop laths are from mdf with the door frame is some sort of redwood. So the stop laths could be moved I guess but I was hoping to avoid this work. Also I don't know if these were not glued to the door frame! My current idea is to add a fillet to...

    large gap between plaster and door frame

    So after adding the 6mm strip between the frame and the architrave all looks nice and neat. So far I've prepared it for the final coat of paint. But, I am struggling now to find door with right thickness and size. The door stop stayed where is was initially so I need thicker door which dont seem...

    large gap between plaster and door frame

    Ok, I added 6mm stripe all over, glued to the door frame. I am thinking of using 2 parts wood filler to hide the unevenness between the wood stipe and the door frame. Or is there a better way? Thanks

    large gap between plaster and door frame

    are you thinking I should chase out the plaster to bed the architrave in? But then I'm gonna end up with the outer edge of the architrave being like buried in the plaster. The architrave is only 12mm thick, so bedding it 9mm into the plaster to cover the gap will not look nice from outside I think?

    click vinyl (Karndean Korlok) over Jumpax

    Hello, I am preparing to renovate an upper room. We already bought Kandean Korlok LVT for it. The floor has old, battered floorboard planks. We want to add some sound deadening to it too. Also, it has to be raised around 9mm, this is to match the floor height in the landing. My first idea was...

    Ideal Logic+ combi grinding noise

    I'm not letting you into my home while my family is in, this is due to the obvious virus risk. Can't you asses the problem remotely like most people try nowadays? :) I'd make sure my family is out of the house before any 'gas engineer' comes in. But seriously, does it looks like fan issue? Or...

    Ideal Logic+ combi grinding noise

    How could it is great if it costs almost 40% of new boiler value to replace a consumable part. If you knowledgable, would you be so kind and advise me if fixing my problem is cost effective? :)

    Ideal Logic+ combi grinding noise

    hi Ian, Just to clarify - the boiler is maintained yearly by a qualified gas engineer, he unfortunately does not specialise in fixing boilers. I do have all the paperwork for this. As far as the electrodes are concerned - we `had them` replaced by a gas company. They charged me already almost...

    Ideal Logic+ combi grinding noise

    Hello everyone, We have been having some issues with our 8 year old Ideal Logic+ combi boiler. A year ago or so it was loosing flame during CH so we had the ignition electrode and flame sensing electrode replaced by a gas engineer. It seemed to have fixed the problem then. Now we have a...

    UPVC window hinge identification

    Thanks ronnie, I dropped them a message but unfortunately they cannot help me either: Unfortunately, we do not stock tilt and turn hinges due to the number of variations produced and the availability as many have now been discontinued. Sorry we couldn't help on this occasion.

    UPVC window hinge identification

    Hi there, I have got a tilt & turn window in bathroom with a broken top hinge. I think it is a concealed hinge. But unsure where to find a replacement. Does the hinge need to be 1:1 replica or can I use aftermarket product? Where to look? Any help greatly appreciated! Thank you

    Central heating design

    Right, I looked again into the long runs and the improved design would have max 4m run of 10mm. There is no easy way of cutting the run down anymore. The only other option would be to replace most of the run with 15mm and the last meter with 10mm. Red - 15mm Blue - 10mm Will this work well...

    Central heating design

    It is a combi boiler. Bunnyman, what do you think is wrong with it and how to improve it? As mentioned this installation does work but the biggest radiator had around 10deg less heat than others.

    Hello, I am renovating my 3 bedroom house and currently dealing with central heating. I got a plumbing 'expert' who designed a central heating for the house: It is all on hep2o with 22mm manifolds. From there 10mm pipes goes to every room. It looks like this: As you can imagine this is sub...

    wooden door vent

    freddymercurystwin, trim? This sounds like hard work... Actually I trimmed the door already to fit the door frames with a plane.. took me half a day.. I do not fancy doing it again. Drilling two or three holes of 70mm sound to me like much better/easier option.. What's wrong with the vents...
