Yet another post on uPVC doors I know... There are three roller cans on my back door — bottom, middle and top. The top and middle pull the door into the frame tightly and there is a good seal. Unfortunately there is a gap at the bottom and I can quite easily push or pull (from outside) the...

Hi, We've just had some new double glazing windows fitted and they look great. They have sealed the left, top and right of the windows with brown sealant but, under the upvc window sill, if you get your head down there and look up, there's a bout a 2-3 mm gap between the bottom of the sill and...

The Door seal is coming off my Homark Conventional Oven. I think its the brown 01-711000 A Model. The seal looks ok its just the glue that holds it on that has worn with the years. Any idea what i could glue it back on with? Would Thermal Paste for a PC work for example? Thanks :)

I am currently re-tiling our bathroom and will be fitting a new bath in the next few days. What is the current 'best practice' for installing a reliable seal around the bath? The old tiles had quadrant sections where they met the bath, which had worked remarkably well for around thirty years...
