Thanks. Do you know if they are sold in low quantity anywhere? As I only need screws for one hinge. And most places sell boxes of screws. I had a look on accu.co.uk but I could only see Torx or Ponzi type screws.

I've got a problem of a loose hinge on an interior door. The screws have come away from the door. The screws look rusty and old so need to be replaced with new screws. What size head diameter and length of screw would be suitable for a standard sized interior door? I've measured the width of...

Out of the 4 times she was picked for jury service, how many times was she chosen as a juror?

Does that mean you can't take your phone into the courtroom even if its switched off and in your pocket? In this video, the guy said in the comments that there are only so many lockers. So it seems only some people can get a locker.

I don't really. I don't have any training in law and I've never stepped into a court room in my life. So I wouldn't be confident about doing it. It seems it's only for reasons such as medical reasons why someone can be excused.

I see. The confusion is, I read a comment where someone said if someone doesn't want to do jury service then they should not register to vote. So it appears they misunderstood then if everyone is automatically on the electoral roll.

I recently got a letter telling me I've been summoned for Jury service. I read that people are chosen randomly from the electoral roll. But I've never voted before or registered to vote. Has anyone here been chosen for Jury service even if you've never voted?

What paint brush did you use? I contacted Zinsser. They said they recommend using a short to medium pile mohair roller. I searched online for mohair rollers. They mention they are for things such as woodwork, but don't mention its for ceilings. Also, a lot don't come supplied with trays. So it...

What roller would be suitable for using with Zinsser Perma-White Anti Mould paint to paint a bathroom ceiling? Does it have to be a certain type of roller to get a good finish? Thanks

I have a question about bulb suitability for a chandelier ceiling light. The chandelier uses 3 candle type bulbs. It says on the chandelier Max 40W. However, now that bulbs are LED the wattage is different to the older type of bulbs. i.e a 25-watt LED bulb is similar wattage to a higher...

The hedge trimmer is a Bosch 450 watts. According to what someone said in the comments in this video, to open the trimmer it requires a T20 Tor-X screwdriver to remove 10 screws. Then also requires a T20 screwdriver to take a screw out from the middle. When they say it needs a T20 for the...

The section of the power cable that is broken is near the hedge trimmer. So if using a two pin connector, it wouldn't be on the ground while the hedge trimmer is in use. Would the best option then be to repair the power cable instead and cover it with heat shrink tubing? Or is it okay if the...

Recently, a family member accidently cut the power cable when using a hedge trimmer. I've looked for tutorials on how to repair the power cable, but they say it requires things such as a soldering iron and heat shrink tubing. So I'm thinking, it might be best just to cut the power cable where...

I live in the Nottingham area. I had a look online again. I see there's a company that does door trimming for £35 per door which seems a good price. However, I can't find any reviews for the company. Should the lack of reviews not matter as its a small job...

Thanks. Another question. Does a handyman take the door outside to trim it so they don't make dust and mess indoors?

I recently had a new carpet fitted in a bedroom. The carpet is good. However because of the thickness of the carpet and the 8mm underlay, the door is very stiff and only partially opens. I've looked online to search for a door trimming service, but most companies shown don't seem to specialise...

The type of uPVC window it is, the handle is at the bottom of the window in the middle. The handle opens okay, but the window is jammed and won't open. When pushing it, there is some slight movement on the left side of the window, but on the right it seems to be jammed the most.

Is it possible to fix a jammed window yourself or does it require a pro? The window is a Safestyle uPVC window. It has a faulty mechanism so doesn't open. One company quoted £96 to fix it. Is that price steep?

Yes, I'm looking for a drill for no more than about £60 as I don't intend to use it regularly. Is it worth considering a refurb as on eBay they are about £25-30 cheaper than buying brand new?

The house is 1930s. No, I don't think the drill has hammer action. Are there any particular brands of drill you recommend?
