Hi, I have this white textured material above the front door which is flaking away having been on for donkeys years. Does anybody have any advice on how to repair it please, or suggestions for an alternative finish if I were to strip it all off? Thank you.

Thanks, will have a look.

Hi can anyone please tell me where I can buy these window handles with the catch/keeper, or the proper name for the set so I can search? And a broken one...

Many thanks for the replies it's a bit of a nightmare really, as I own 75% percent of the property and a housing association own the other 25%. Building insurance is in with the rent I pay them each month, but they say the dot & dab disbonds are my problem and the insurance wont cover it. What...

Apologies as I posted this also in the building section. On one side of my house the plasterboard panels have disbonded from the breeze blocks in each room. In the pics below this is the worse room and you can push the whole wall in like a huge sail by about 1". Has anyone experienced this...

It worked and now they open wide, many thanks. I dont think they've been opened fully since the house was built in '91. Ten thousand cobwebs fell out of the hinge side! :shock:

Thanks for the replies, i'll give it a try and let you know :)

I have these wooden windows and i'm sure they are designed to open more than they do as some neighbours have had theirs wide open, 1st pic shows how much they open currently and the second shows the mechanism, it just wont go past the point shown in the 2nd pic, any ideas what is wrong?

I want to fit one of these http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/pressure-equalising-valve-344-230 due to having mains cold and gravity fed hot water with a mixer tap. Is it ok to just saw the copper pipes a few inches below the taps and fit it right there underneath the bath? If so what is the easiest...

It's working and belting out some well needed heat! Many thanks Lectrician :D

Well the new Input Stat and Thermal Link arrived yesterday and we fitted them this afternoon. Power is switched back on at the wall, so fingers crossed for some heat in the morning!

Thanks for the replies, I'm going to order a new input thermo from Applied Energy, hopefully it might do the trick. I'll report back once i've fitted and tried it as it's nice to see these threads like this closed resolved.

We have a Creda TSR storage heater in the living room and last winter it stopped working! I opened it up last month and found that the 'thermal link' which I think acts as a fuse had seperated/blown. Bought a new thermal link and fitted it last week, came downstairs the next morning hoping to...
