    Door replacement, can't find right size :-(

    But that's too tall (my aperture is 2007mm tall). The current door is 32 3/4 inches wide by 77 inches tall, so one of those door blanks looks the best bet so far. Either that or keep my eyes peeled for a second hand one. I don't mind if it's fifth hand, as long as it does the job!

    Door replacement, can't find right size :-(

    That's not a bad idea if I can't find an off the shelf solution. I'm presuming that you don't think there is one?

    Door replacement, can't find right size :-(

    The old door is wood and maybe 50 years old. I don't want the same kind of door, so is it helpful to see a picture of the old one? If you really think so I can take one. It's an external door, so it is exposed to the elements. The front door is a metal up and over type. There's only tools in...

    Door replacement, can't find right size :-(

    I'd appreciate some advice or pointing in the right direction. The old wooden back door of my garage is rotting away. The aperture in the brickwork that the door and frame fits into is 36 inches wide by 79 inches tall (915mm x 2007mm). I cannot find a door and frame set off the shelf to fit in...

    Sticking acrylic splashback

    The supplier said not to use anything solvent based and suggested silicone sealant. I stuck it with that and all was well - until the kitchen got very humid boiling up some veg. At which point the acrylic started to come away from the wall. So I've removed it and I'm back to square one. Has...

    Paint blistering under very specific circumstances. Any idea why?

    Hi. Thanks. I'll order a sensor now. Over winter I occasionally had to wipe maybe the bottom 6th of the bedroom windows first thing in the morning because condensation was present. Could that much be enough to cause the issues described?

    Paint blistering under very specific circumstances. Any idea why?

    I painted the house last summer. Over the winter the paint has blistered in places, but only upstairs and only on the outer walls (or within a few cm of the outer walls) and only up near the ceiling. In those places where the paint has fallen off after blistering, the old paint which I had...

    Shorten steel gas pipe without rethreading?

    It is, because I measured it with a digital caliper. In fact it's 21.87mm.

    Shorten steel gas pipe without rethreading?

    It splits: one branch connects to a gas hob, the other to a boiler.

    Shorten steel gas pipe without rethreading?

    OK, so it would be simple - and legal - for them to do?

    Cheers. Looks like I'll be sawing my cupboard then.

    Shorten steel gas pipe without rethreading?

    As you can see I have a 22mm gas pipe sticking out of the ground. Such is its height, and distance from the wall that I either need to cut a hole in the new kitchen cupboard to accommodate it, or get the pipe shortened. I imagine it could be done but would need a specialist to rethread it...

    Is this gas connection legal? If so, where can I get a replacement flexipipe or rubber washers?

    Thanks. It's been in the house since before I bought it unfortunately, so I have no idea who did it. I've owned the property for the last 7 years or so, and discovered this when I took out the old kitchen. Weirdly the connector on the brand new hob is 1/2 inch BSP. Are there not gas specific...

    Is this gas connection legal? If so, where can I get a replacement flexipipe or rubber washers?

    My hob is connected by what appears to be an ordinary 1/2 inch BSP to 1/2 inch BSP flexi-pipe. Is this allowable? Maybe it's a 'special' kind of pipe, but I can't find anything like it online with a search for 'gas flexi pipe'. The installation passed gas safety checks for several years but I...

    Thanks. The boiler is an Ideal Logic Combi 30. A photo of the part is in the link I put in my original post.

    Where can I get this fibre washer please?

    I can't do that because it crumbled to bits. I'm not sure I have all the pieces.

    Where can I get this fibre washer please?

    Idea Boiler CH Flow Pack In order to fit a magnaclean I had to be able to pull the pipe far enough away from the wall to get the cutter on it. Doing so meant removing the pressure gauge block from the bottom of the boiler. The washer came out in bits. I'm amazed that it sealed. I can't seem...
