I've used the forum a lot myself over the past few years to look for recommendations, so I wanted to pass on the name of Gary Shaw who has done work on draught-proofing the sash windows in 3 of my rooms as well as sorting out the sash cords, adding window lifts and painting. He's done a great job at a competitive price and leaves a clean and tidy site. I also found him a cheerful, considerate and trustworthy person to have working in my home. I can recommend him. His mobile is 07747 800372.

  If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward. isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed. Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering. Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting. If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure. Pretty simple. I don't bother with jointing compound.

  I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
