Hi all, Whilst tidying the house, I noticed that there is a large gap of 6/8mm in the bottom right hand side of the window which is letting in cold air. I have put a white marker on the hooks and they seem to be pulled in to the window. Any suggestions on how to make the window close...

The blocked one still stayed cold, so presume that confirms that the pipe is blocked? Funnily enough the loft radiator seems to get hot even after opening all the trv's so maybe airlock in the pipe or displaced some sludge?

Already tried this, when I cleaned the system out last year. Could it need rebalancing?

The radiator in the loft heats up after turning off the hot ones. The other one which is cold stayed cold.

Hi all, I have a valliant eco pure 25kw system boiler, 210l valliant unvented tank and 12 radiators in a three story house. The radiator in our loft extension on the second floor hardly gets warm, but the towel radiator in the en-suite literally 2 feet away is red hot. The radiator does not...

Hi all, I have been out painting the rendering the bay of our 1930s house and noted that the wood at the bottom of the render is rotten in one area. Is it easy enough to cut out and replace or is there something more complex involved? I am also looking at repair care’s resin to fill the hole...

There is 100mm PIR on the vertical walls. I could attach some additional PIR and fix these to the vertical struts in the wall. Would this make much difference in making the room warmer?

Hi all, I have bay windows which comprises of 6 separate windows. Some of these open and some are fixed. How are the fixed units held in? (presuming just screwed to the frame) The reason for asking is that a couple of the fixed units have some gaps and let air through when it is...

Thanks @CBW the bolts from the lock are stuck in the fixings so the window does not open. I have had a look at the window on the other side and it seems that there are two bolts that engage with the fixings on the frame to secure the window.

Thanks all this is really helpful, @SUNRAY them two sets of lights are off the same switch, but I can switch them on independently as they are on a 4 gang switch that also control other lights too. I have told the mrs to switch them on slowly rather than rapid fire and I am planning on firstly...

Hi all, I have a upvc window in the house which is stuck shut. I have taken the handle off and the spindle is engaged, but it seems that it is not releasing the dead bolt from the frame. I had a look on YouTube and it suggests using a Allen key to push the bolt free but no success to date...
