Thanks for the replies so far. Sorry, I probably didn't make it clear, the hole left by the rawlplug is a little wider than the rawlplug was as it has broken some of the edges away, so I can't re-use the hole without filling it first. Thanks Chris.

Hi, I fitted a curtain pole some months back and it's just decided to fall down! The curtains are very heavy, and when I was drilling the wall (it's a 1930s house, so solid brick, I believe) I could not get far enough in each time to use the correct screw, so cheated and used a smaller one at...

Hi, I have an Ariston combi boiler. It's apparently about 5/6 years old, but we've just bought the house so I'm not certain. The central heating is fine, and the water comes out nice and hot, except that I had to turn the pressure down on the inlet to the boiler to ensure that it is...
