    Hi, can anyone help me identify this type of door seal? We have 3 on the bottom of each external timber door and quite a few have perished. Can't seem to find anything similar on the web. Thanks, Brian.

    Tap indice won't come off

    Hi guys, I am having trouble with a tap that runs even when stopped. I know it is the cold side by using the isolator valves. I have removed the lever from the tap handle, and then unscrewed the shroud which then allowed me to access the cartridge which I unscrewed from the tap. However, I...

    Window Gasket replaceable?

    Hello, I am wondering if my window gaskets are replaceable? As they are mostly broken it seems to be impossible to get them out or they are not suppose to come out. Any advise would be appreciated Thanks IMG_2945 by Greg_0ry1 posted 5 Dec 2019 at 5:14 PM IMG_2946 by Greg_0ry1 posted 5 Dec...

    Is my head gasket blown?

    Hi, I have a 06 plate vauxhall zafira 1.6 club. It's done 98k miles. I haven't had it long but the coolant is like grey sludge (which I know is a blown head gasket as oil is getting into the water). But before I bought it, the car had been sitting for a good 6 months. So I cleaned the coolant...

    Raking-out perished (& glued in places) uPVC window & door gasket??

    I am looking for suggestions of techniques or tools for removing old and perished bubble/flipper gasket from the narrow slot. Where the old gasket material has gone very non-flexible (mostly along the bottom edge), I have found that the barbed section just tears or snaps where it joins the...

    Critical choice of uPVC bubble/flipper gasket profile??

    I have been looking at replacing some perished uPVC door and window gaskets, and taken aback by the *huge* range of types available. Would I be horribly incorrect in assuming that if the barbed rubber 'arrow' section is the right size to fit in the slot, and the bubble or flipper sections are...

    Trick to changing Velux Sash gasket seals?

    I think I've traced the condensation accumulation under the metal covers attached to the frame and window which then runs down the seals and runs into the bottom corners on worn seals. So I duly ordered the seals online, and this weekend tried to fit them but came unstuck fitting the seals to...

    window gasket replacement

    Hi all, I'm in the process of replacing the sealed units in my windows (well, planning it) and I seem to have hit a wall. I've spent many an hour trawling the internet trying to find a replacement U-channel type gasket to replace the current 30 year old ones, but I can't find the same ones...
