Does anybody know where I can buy dust boxes (or even strike plates with integral dust box) to go behind the strike plates in the door jamb to hide the poor chisel work? Need two sizes, one for ordinary mortice latches and one for latch and lock.

My 9" asbestos flue pipe has a crack in it, about 1m long and about 5mm wide. I don't want to ask an engineer to come out who may then be required to close my system off. I need a new boiler anyway as the current one is 30 years old--very reliable but probably highly inefficient!--but even an...

As none of you could/would give me answers, I'm just replying to myself for the benefit of any other poor soul who has one of these tanks. I recharged the expansion vessel again. I opened several hot taps! The commisioning valve was blocked again but eventually released about 80-100 litres...

Thanks for all your replies. Only just read them 'cos my request for email notification didn't work!! (Just realised I hadn't updated my email address, so not surprising!! Us OAPs struggle with this sort of thing!!) So:- My tank is not in the loft but outside in a barn at ground level. It...

The cylinder is discharging cold water to the tundish. I have followed the instructions to correct this and have also had it done at the annual sevice by a competent technician. However this discharge has been happening on a regular basis (3 or 4 times a year) since it was new in 2007, and is a...

Manufacturer only supplies one general fitting guide for their mono mixers and it is no good for the above model. Has anybody ever fitted one of these. It does not have any threaded bar or a hole in the backing plate to put a bar through. It may not even be complete but in the absence of any...

Thanks crank 39. It doesn't look right. I think these windows were made by Knipping, but I can't find a site for spare parts for them.

I have a broken hinge at the bottom of a tilt-turn window. Where can I buy spare parts, please, anybody

Are they still available to buy? In Switzerland they have toilets with a bum-washing spray!!- I think they're called Probomats. Anybody ever come across them in the UK?

I want a 1800x800 bath with handles but choice is very limited. Can baths be drilled and where would you buy the handles? Any help much appreciated

I know so little about it that I don't know if woody's Unibond is a joke or not!!--but the man did say that a tack coat would be applied to the concrete first. What depth of 6mm would be deep enough? Can I watch Rogue traders on i-player?? What channel was it on and on what night.

No not on bridges!--just looking for a cheap and easy way to cover over old cracked concrete in my front garden--there is also a large area of existing tarmac and an unwanted flowerbed so I hoped to be able to use tarmac so that it would match up. One contractor quoted for full excavation and...

Can you or can you not lay tarmac on top of concrete? Thanks for any help you can give.

Existing broken concrete on entrance drive, and an unwanted flowerbed need replacing--about 100 sq yds in all. Tarmac quotes are too dear so want to use cheapest paving slabs which can carry a car and also be smooth enough for kids to ride their bikes on. Any advice would be much appreciated

New boy---my first (and maybe only!!) thread!!! I read this thread with interest because my plumber is outside putting in a new OSO 210 indirect cylinder to replace a traditional cylinder which had burst. My old system also had a a Monsoon twin negative duty 1.5 bar pump to get H and C water...
