Yes - I have watched a number of them, which is why the first two leaf's are heel and toe'd in the areas that I have demonstrated in Picture 1.

Hello there I've got a really annoying problem with some bi-fold doors that I have fitted. I'm at the finishing stage of fitting the glazing, and it's not quite going to plan. The frame and doors were fitted just fine, as far as I can tell. The doors opened and shut really smoothly. Looking...

Hello to all We have a pretty standard family home, with a pretty standard gravity-fed system. Cold tank in the loft. HW tank in the airing cupboard. The system works, and works ok. It is a positive head system. We have two bathrooms, and the HW supply to the taps/gravity shower in both is...

Hello Paul I'm just researching the exact same issue, and found this thread whilst searching. What solution did you go with in the end, and what were the results like? Many thanks

Thanks. However, one last question remains: Are you saying that it cannot be anything else, or that it could be, but you think it's the pump?

Thanks JMGas - but I've never once said that steam has come out of anywhere! This is why I am asking for an explanation for the diagnosis. A new pump is 150 notes, and I would be more than a little frustrated to buy one, fit it, and then find that it was actually something else and have to start...

Hello Dan Thank you for your two posts - can you explain why you think the pump is kaput? I am inclined to agree, I think, but I'd really appreciate the explanation so that I can follow the logic of it. Many thanks

Thank you for the post JMGas - can you explain why this is please? Many thanks

Hello again JohnD Discovered that there is no fuse in the pump plug.... :facepalm: Right, allowed the pump to cool, and removed the screw. It was pretty hard to see inside it, if I am honest, as there was a gentle flow of grubby water out of it. However, I am confident that I could turn the...

Hello JohnD Thank you very much for the prompt response - yes, but important to get as much detail in for diagnosis! Good question - Yes, the short pipe from boiler to pump and pipe after the pump are both very cool to the touch. The pump is still extremely hot to the touch. I undid the large...

Hello to all I've got a problem that began to occur yesterday, but sees to be slightly different (I think) to some others that appear similar on the forum. We have a four bedroom house. The Stelrad boiler and Grundfos pump are out in the garage. The pump sits just above the boiler. The...

Thanks Russell Does the rainwater visibly bead off the surface of the decking timber after your treatment of Liberon? And continue to do so even now?

Thanks Russell, that's really useful to hear. Like you, to save myself a lot of work, I wouldn't mind an oil that is sprayable initially to get it on the wood, and then brushed or mopped on to work it into the wood after. We've got a massive decking in the middle of one of our lawns and the...

Hello Russell I was just wondering - more than a year on, how the decking had performed and the treatment lasted? I am about the treat mine for the first time, and your updated experience would be a very useful one. From the reviews I'm looking at, Ronseal Decking Oil seems to be the best...

Thanks very much for the detail in the last two posts - very kind. Will be spending some time looking into this!

Thanks - am aware of this, hence suspecting that a rubberised/flexible undercoat base might be the key that I need....

Thanks for this reply Wobs - am I understanding you correctly, in that this very thin Linseed layer, is the absolute base layer on bare fully stripped wood? Then followed by standard undercoat and top gloss on top? If not, can you just explain the Linseed application and what exactly goes on...

Hi to all I've got a bit an issue, in that all of our windows are wood framed. Whilst I much prefer this to maintenance free PVC from an aesthetic point of view - the regular repainting is becoming a real pain in the backside. The problem is most prevalent in the rear of the property where...

Could never have done that job with just a hacksaw blade though - the bolt was easily dealt with by an 11k rpm DeWalt blade, but trying to do the same job with individual mini-blade strokes? That would have been soul destroying and hand-injuring. Thank goodness for power tools! Even saying...

Success! Can't imagine in my mind how I would ever have got this done with just a bare hacksaw blade - it was tricky enough getting a 1mm slitting blade on the grinder into the very tight space between door and frame. (needed to be held open by the missus with a crowbar just to get into the...
