    Reversing a door on a Beko DPHR8PB561W 8Kg Heat Pump Tumble Dryer?

    Hi, Has anyone had the misfortune to try the above? I've sought further clarification from Beko, who sent a slightly less useless anotated sheet and now refuse to provide any further guidance. The door is not easily seperated but they must know how to do it and exactly whats needed ? Any...

    Removing Osmo ?

    Hello All, Our local village hall is clad in cedar wood and treated with Osmo. It appears not to have been done properly and is a mess. We started to sand it off but as it's patchy (some comes off easy, the rest has actually soaked in/bonded) we're wondering if this is the right way...

    Small black plug that says 'Don't Remove!'

    Hi, I was having problems with the ground floor sockets tripping yesterday. I eventually traced the fault to a socket right at the back of the understairs where the above (transformer ?)was plugged in. It appears to be connected into some form of Earthing and I'm therefore sure it's...

    Greetings All, Just after moving in to our new home i started replacing the old lights with LED's unfortunately I bought MR16's instead of 11's but they will fit into the wiring (if not the fittings exactly). I tried one or two at first but have now plugged them all in and...

    Air vents for radiators?

    Hi. Not been in this property for long but I'm looking to prolong the life of the rads. They look ok but need bleeding fairly frequently (powered by an oil fired system), this maybe because one has been removed (just the regular fittings left - which I may just put another another rad in) but...

    Correct Fitting for Oil Tank

    Hello, Just looked really hard at this part of the oil tank the other day (as it seemed to have been knocked by the roofers) and I now think this is something the previous owner has 'cobbled' on! Any idea/suggestions as to what should be there? I've been reading about water ingress and...

    Satisfactory Roofing Work ?

    Hello, I'm just after a bit of advice here. We had roofers in to replace our ridge tiles and 'sort' the base of the chimney to prevent leaking into the stack and bedroom ceilings. They were also meant to fix any loose or slipped tiles. I don't think they've completed on this last bit...
