Andy that’s amazing, thank you. You are right it looks similar. I might try going for this and see if it fits!

Thank you mister banks, I’m not sure what brand this one is as it was bought by the plumbers who did the bathroom. Looks like I might have to replace the whole lot if I can’t locate the make..

Hi everyone, Apologies as I am not aware of the technical names for things, I have attached photos! The toilet stopped flushing, when I had a look it turns out the part labelled with the green arrows (in the pics) had two clips barely hanging on. It seems these clips hook into a tube in the...

Thank you so much everyone! I popped to screwfix and bought the set above. Bolt came off easy as anything and the new tap is fitted and working well. I really appreciate all the advice, thank you!

Hi everyone, I hope you can help. I am in the process of changing the cloakroom mixer tap as it has stopped working. Im trying to remove the threaded rod or bolt but there is very limited space to move and I don’t know which tool will do it!! None of the tools can be placed at 90 degrees to...

Thank you so much everyone, I’m going to give this a go tomorrow. Thanks Madrab for letting me know, thank goodness as I would have not know it wasn’t installed correctly. Hopefully the engineer from boxt will have done enough of these to do the job properly!

Thank you RandomGrinch, Will changing the wiring affect the hot water at all?

Hi CBW, We tried to switch to manual but the heat link isn't responding. It's a know issue so google are replacing it for free, but its cold!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. Just wondering if it is possible to turn on the heating from the boiler only as the nest heat link (3rd Gen) seems to have stopped working - no lights. We have an engineer coming round next week to change the heat link, in the meantime we wondered if...

Thank you so much for your replies! I have fitted the Drayton one. Just going to wait until the rads come on to make sure all is working well

Hi everyone! Hoping you can advise. We had all new radiators fitted about a year ago and they all have trvs except one. It has a pin but no head. I asked the plumber at the time and he said he fitted one but it must have got lost, I forgot about it until now. The radiator works absolutely fine...

Wow. I was not expecting this discussion! Very good information and discussion all round :)

We have a socket in the wall specifically for the cooker hood, it was mapped into the kitchen design. It will have to be a plug we use rather than junction box arrangement I think an adapter will be good but I’m not sure which is a reputable place. I looked on TLC but they didn’t seem to carry...

I can, I was just a little weary initially because I didn’t know if there were any warranty issues. Oh well, I think I’ll just fit a new plug on it :)

this is exactly what they suggested. The manufacturer says it’s apparently not illegal because the manual says it has that type of plug. I haven’t seen that in the manual and how would I know this before purchase? Additionally the retailer says I should find someone because it’s not a service...

Thank you so much for your reply winston1, I will get back on to them and ask them to sort it out

Hi everyone hope you are all well. Just looking for a bit of advice. We recently bought a new cooker hood from a large UK supplier, but when it arrived it had a Schuko plug (it’s bulky and L-shaped, I think maybe “type f”). What is the best thing to do in the situation? We contacted the...

Thank you Chris for your reply. I didn’t even notice that part of the roof was possibly chipped. I’m hoping there is no asbestos but I’ll ring around to find a company in London that does testing

Happy new year everyone! I was just looking for some advice about converting a brick shed/outhouse which is about 2 metres detached from the main house into a simple utility room. Just washing machine and dryer really. There is already water plumbed in and we can get electricity in. I was...

Thank you so much, really appreciate it! I’m going to give this a go
