I am looking for a repair kit for my Draper model 73397 SDS+ hammer drill. The SDS chuck has come apart when I was chiselling into concrete. I recovered most of the parts but I reckon the ball and a couple of parts are lost completely. Does anyone know if a repair kit or replacement chock can...

I have a couple of down light holes in the ceiling to be repaired. I've seen how to affix a plaster board plug with a batten above, but my query is about which filler to use around the edges. Ideally it should be a Screwfix product as Screwfix is within walking distance for me. Should it be...

I have marked with arrows the two air bleed locations. Presumably the upper one on the left is an AAV . I pushed a 2mm stiff wire down it and there was no difference. I tried to squeeze in the collar on its Speedfit coupling but could not budge it. Can you suggest a device I can use to put the...

I will research the NRV on the pump but they went out of business a long time ago. Meanwhile, rather than directly in via the Techflow vent, would it be similarly OK anywhere on the the intake side?

I think its related to the way the builders (in 2005) routed the pipes coming from the 85 gallon CW storage tank. There has been intermittent problems with air locks in the with the hot and cold water taps and we have cured this by connecting a hose at mains pressure and forcing water up via the...

Can't see an AAV,. The air bleed valves are simple screw threaded type with a knurled end for opening and closing. I attach an annotated pic which is better than any description. It's quite a complicated bit of plumbing in a small space. But here goes:- At the top of the cylinder there is a...

Some years ago we had a loft conversion done. The loft had and still has two large ( 80 gallon ?) header tanks - one for the the HW and one for the cold water piping. They were repositioned during the conversion. Rather tha go for a complete change to a closed heating system, we decided to stay...

It is a distinct possibility that our 20 year old Techflow QT45SE may need to be replaced. I think it about 1.5 bar rating. It is located above the open-vented hot water cylinder. The pump supplies hot water to the bathroom in the loft and this is only used by house guests so it does not get...

OK, what's the best way of persuading the PO that amenity space is it necessary? Is it a matter of "fact and degree"

Yes, you will have to apply for change of use as "short-term holiday let (sui generis)". You should not have a problem but it all comes down what submission you make on :- Parking space Provision for rubbish bins Number of residents Frequency of turnover of tenants Behaviour of tenants eg...

If I understand it, this is a pub with no outside space. If that is correct, then I would divide up the pub internally convert it to short term holiday lets (sui generis). That way no external amenity space is needed. Only C3 houses need amenity space.

Because the " AirBNB "guests are using our open land which borders the building in question on 3 sides. The building has no amenity space of its own. The building has right of access over our land but has no usage rights whatsoever. It is located in one corner of our walled plot. Because of...

It is a single bedroom property but the Planning Officer decided to treat it as sui generis because of the short-term holiday let issue. My understanding is that the officers decision was wrong as most holiday lets under 6 occupants are treated as C3 as you suggest. Question is how can I...

We raised objections to a Planning Application for conversion of a storage facility (old stone building) classified as "B8". The applicant was previously refused permission twice when he applied to convert the building to "Residence" class "C3". He has now applied to convert the storage...
