I really need to replace our upvc front door, it's doing nothing to stop the heat getting out, the locks breaking and it's going mouldy! Want to fit a second hand upvc front door. Is this ok to do? I mean using a second hand door? Easy job for an amateur?

Hi, I have some large gaps in between the restored wood flooring planks in my bedroom, we can hear a lot of what goes on in the flat below and sometimes catch a whiff of cigerette smoke which makes me think the floor isn't sealed underneath. I've tried poking something into the gaps and can...

That's great, what's an easy replacement? Same back plate etc. J

Makes sense, do you know how I fix it?

Sorry, it just says thermostatic power shower on it, here's a pic from google if it helps...

I have an issue with my hot water tap pressure, in the kitchen it occasionally slows to a trickle but I have a mixer tap so I can put my hand over it, turn both hot and cold on and it clears the blockage but its only a temp fix, I also have low pressure in the bathroom taps. Is there a chemical...

I think the water came in through the sheared off screw on the top, it's a shower that came with the flat I bought Can anyone suggest a shower replacement with the sake back plate?

Hi guys, I've got another issue hopefully you can help as usual. I have a triton thermostatic power shower which does nothing when I press the on off switch, no noise or anything. I turned it off at the fuse and took the front case off, first thing I noticed was that the top screw had been...

I'm restoring/refinishing an old oak refectory table, I've strip all the dark lacquer off and the sanded down to the bare wood but I'm left with a few strange light spots, is this the natural colour f be oak, what I should be hoping to achieve across the whole piece or is it something else...

Hi, hope this is the right place, I couldn't find a kitchen section.. Just moved into a house and all the doors are wonky in the kitchen, I have investigated and I've found the fault it's because loads of screws are missing, it's hard to explain so I'm hoping somebody and tell me what the...

Thank you! If I make it through the night without freezing I'm going to B&Q tomorrow, unless anyone can suggest a good deal on the high street? I.e. not online... Thanks again

Hi all, I have recently moved into a property of which its central heating has caused me no end of problems, the latest: The central heating control programmer's Central heating control has stopped working, the hot water is fine but the central heatig wont come on, the red "on" light...

After taking a radiator off the wall and finding no water in the system (but fe tank was full) I took a magnet along the 15mm pipe and found that where it joins the 22mm pipe it had a u shaped bending in the pipe which feed into the bottom of the 22mm pipe, which runs to the boiler. I couldn't...

Ignore my last comment I turned it on slightly and let it trickle into a washing up bowl, anyway in both cases the water slowed and ten stoped, does this mean there is no water in my system?

I have the radiator off the wall, I'm not sure how in going to open up each valve and tackle the water coming out and check the header tank to see if the mains is filling it at the same time, any tips? Thanks

Is there an order in which I need to open these valves? Can I isolate a rad before removing it or do I need to drain down the whole system?

To give you a bit more info. The pump started making a loud noise and the plumber said it was on its way out so replaced it, after he did this the central heating showed the same symptoms it is now and did not work, so I called another plumber out who fixed a few issues with the boiler and...

Feed and expansion tank = header tank? I have used a fridge magnet along the whole pipe and it picked up nothing.
