Hi - sorry for the delay in replying. Been away.
There is no adjustment on the hinges otherwise I would have done that by now.

Any other ideas out there?

Thanks.. :?

uPVC Window - not sealing

Hi - I've got a problem with one of my upstairs uPVC windows. When I close the window it seals all round except along the bottom corner on the hinged side (rhs). There is a (tapering) 5mm gap along the bottom rail for most of it's width and a similar gap along the rhs vertical rail. It lets in a lot...

Installing a Towel Radiator in the bathroom

:( Hi - I'm about to install a new (central heating) towel radiator in the bathroom and I'd like to conceal the supply/return pipes in the wall rather than running them up through the floorboards to the radiator.

Mixer shower

I'm about to install a replacement mixer shower in my bathroom. The existing pipes (cold & hot) run from the loft down the outside of a stud-partition wall in the bathroom to the current surface-mounted mixer. Can I re-route these pipes so that they are hidden inside the partition wall? thanks :?
