Hi all, I recently found a very small leak in the gas inlet/isolator valve to a friends Baxi Bahama 100 boiler along with water leaks both sides of the double check valve in the fill loop and at the boiler's mains water inlet valve. The water leaks were no problem to fix but the gas leak...

I think i might be getting mixed up with bars and boards, I was referring to the timber strip fixed across the bottom of the door (fitted to shed water away and provide a drip point). The manufacturers/suppliers don't help by calling the part referred to above as both a weather board and a...

Hi All, I want to fit a weather bar to a friends wooden back door and I would like to know the best way to fit it. I've seen them fitted so they fit between the door frame uprights leaving a small gap between the ends of the bar and the frame but I've also seen them fitted where the door...

The door hinges appear ok but the frame was a bit pi**ed which i've now straightened, while replacing the rotten threshold and bottom of side rails, the frame header was level as was the hinge side of the frame. I can lift the door to get a small amount of what I need but I think as the door...

Hi All, Any body know how straighten an exterior door that has dropped at the lock side. The door is timber with 9 small glazed panels in the top half and 3 long vertical ply(?) panels in the bottom half. I want to raise the lock side by about 6 to 7mm. The top rail (transom?)joints to the...

Anyone got a solution to this? Cheers.

Hi All, I've been a bit of a nob and made the chases for too deep. God knows what I was thinking about, I should have known better but the damage is done. javascript:emoticon(':oops:') See drawing. The walls are internal 100mm light concrete blocks (Thermalite) & the occassional LBC...

Hi All, Does any one know of a supplier/manufacturer of 22mm compression X 1/2 inch BSP female isolation/service valves. I don't have enough room to install normal reducers and 22mm x 22mm or 15mm x15mm valves. Cheers

Hi All, I'm re-modelling our bathroom, en suite and installing a shower in our ground floor toilet/cloakroom. I've run low on money so I'm just concentrating on getting the shower into the ground floor toilet/cloakroom but eventually I'd like to have a shower in the en-suite and bathroom...

Thanks to whomever moved this thread to the Tiling section for me. Cheers :)

I think I've posted this in the wrong forum section. Could someone with the know-how move it to the Tiling section for me. Many thanks to r896neo and Richard C for their input. I've looked into other wall panels but like Richard suggests, the good ones are very expensive. There will be...

Hi All, Hope someone can help with this problem. I'm in the process of revamping my downstairs toilet and installing a corner shower. Due to subsidence of a one piece concrete slab, which made made up the hall and toilet floor the project has been beset with problems. The walls are...

Hi All, I'm replacing the concrete floor in my ground floor toilet, as the original one had subsided. I've come to the stage of either laying a 60-65mm screed or timber finish and would like some reassurance and guidance on what I'm thinking of doing. The room is big enough to fit a corner...

Hi All, This might seem a silly question but when installing insulation for the sides of a new concrete floor, how far up the slab should the insulation go - level with the top of the slab, level with the top of the screed or somewhere else? Regards.

I've got a manifold but I'd much prefer to have a hopper type thingy, however, neither will go in the opening. The boss entry angles in my drawing are just for illustration, any angle up to 45 degrees would be OK. I may end up having to use a short 3 or 4 boss pipe and cut 1 or 2 of the...
