Sorry not rcvd email.

Hi Xenon. I have sent you a PM. I really do not know what to say that adequately expresses my thanks, so for the time being it will have to be a plain Thank you! :D :D

Wow, fast reply :) It is a 1950's two storey semi detached, ground floor, second floor then the loft conversion. It seems the older customer is sometimes seen as an easy way of making a few bob, and it's damned annoying! My wife and I are carers for two disabled even more ancient...

Hi Xenon. I would like to put up a pic of the flat roof, unfortunately I get wobbly on anything above first floor so there is no way I would get to roof level :( One of the roofers who quoted did take a pic and showed it to me, to me it looked okay but some of the sun reflective coating...

Thanks for the comments re pricing, I thought they were rather high! Could be the area we live in. However prices are always negotiable, the trick is somewhere between Rip-Off and Pay Cheap Pay Twice..... Its value not £. Anyway, the reason for this post is to find out if double layering is a...

Thanks for your reply. Both roofers are local and have been around for many years so have no reason to doubt they are okay. I will do some research on them anyway and always ask for details of local jobs completed then speak to them. The conversion is approx 6m by 3.5m, somewhere I have some...

Our loft conversion was completed in 1995 so is now nearly 20 years old, it has never leaked but at this age it can only be a matter of time. I have asked for costs from two roofers highly recommended in CheckaTrade. The felt is painted in a sun reflective paint finish but is now rather patchy...

Hi foxhole. Just to be on the safe side I bought; 'Uni Bond Weather Guard Outdoor Window & Door Frame Sealant'. A lot more expensive than most but this seems to cover my needs as it states that it is weather proof and it can be painted as well. Thanks for your help. Alan.[/i]

Thanks foxhole. Okay so it's either white 'Silicone' or white 'Frame Sealant' I think the Frame Sealant was labelled as an Acrylic, which is best? The door will be subject to rain and sun (South facing) so needs to be very weather proof! I would prefer to use Silicone, but, as the beading...

Choices, choices, but which is best? I am replacing an external door in our alleyway that has rotted, it has a 1m x 56cm wired glass panel which I am going to re-use on the new door. The new door has wood D shaped batons to attach both sides of the frame with one set part of the door and the...

Hi. The running 'wires' that go through holes in the pleated blinds in my conservatory roof are breaking up, I would like to replace all the 'wires' which are brown to match the Mahogany coloured construction. Can anyone advise what & where I can get new 'wires'? I have looked at fishing...

Thanks Andy. We have 2 disabled elderly relatives living with us and we cannot afford to be without hot water for very long. If there is an air lock what should I do? I remember a long time ago connecting the hot & cold taps together and using the cold to clear the hot, maybe this is the...

Been a little time since my last post on this thread but I could not put it off any longer :oops: There is a 22mm cold pipe going to the hotwater tank in the airing cupboard on which is a gate valve with black handle, one end of the pipe goes up to the ceiling and the other goes to one side...

Hi Jonjb. Your first post was not there when I replied, then it was! Which is why you answered my ? before I had asked it :? :? I will get my inline valves and washers tomorrow and put your advise to the test, many thanks to you all for your help. Trapper

Thanks guy's that was quick! I have a Potterton Neataheat boiler in the kitchen and a hot water tank in the airing cupboard on the first floor, there are two 22mm pipes at the bottom of the tank, one with a gate valve that comes from above and another on the other side going down below floor...

Hi. Before I was made redundant on Christmas Eve I would have called a local plumber to replace the washer on a leaking Heritage Dorchester HOT water tap, however with no money coming in I need to DIY. At some future date my wife wants to change the taps to 1/4 turn so if I can turn off the...
