Hi, I need to find somewhere to buy 70mm ish chamfered architrave in Sheffield, needs to be not mdf and about 25 mm at the thickest point. Thanks

Hello, Anyone know anywhere I can get a Belle concrete mixer fixed please? Thanks,

Hi, I'm trying to get in touch with a plasterer called Cliff from the Meadowhead area of Sheffield, if anyone's got a last name, I could find it from that. He taught plastering at Hope College, Thanks

Hi, I need some repairs doing for my paslode IM250, does anyone know anywhere in Sheffield they'd recommend to get this done. The fan spins up, the green light is on, but when I press the button to deliver the nail, nothing happens. Thanks,

Yes there are courses at Sheffield College on a Monday or Tuesday night, but these are for a complete year. I've done these for two years and they're good.

Ok, based on the fact that the person mentioned Halfords, it seems clear that they're not that up on bike maintenance, so asking someone to learn could be a bit dangerous if you do something wrong or miss something. There's also the initial cost of the tools and the space required. If you want to learn, BIke Rehab and Edinburgh Cycle Co-op do courses. Alternatively; http://sheffieldcycleboost.org/fix-it-sessions/

Mod Note Sorry, but the forum rules forbid naming and shaming. therefore content removed.

These guys have a good reputation http://bikerehab.co.uk/ I wouldn't personally go to Halfords or Evans, based on people's experiences.

Thanks, great suggestions! I always forget about shaws, then remember how good it is.

Hi, I'm looking for 25mm ring shank nails, ideally galvanised or passivated, as they've got to hold down plywood flooring in a bathroom. Does anyone know of a good place to go? I can get the normal nails, but they're all bright ones, so will corrode faster. Thanks, James

Hi, I've a neighbour with two trees (both under 2m at the moment) less than a metre away from the brick work of my extension. I really need them to be cut down and they're not doing it. How should I proceed? James

Thanks for all the helpful comments, it just came up on my survey and was a bit worried about it. I'll probably leave it.

Hello, I've got a lead pipe connecting the house to the water mains. All the internals in the house aren't lead but the main pipe is. Has anyone had this problem and how did they solve it? I've seen a company that coat the inside of the pipe, has anyone had this done or know anything about it. I'd really rather not change the pipe if necessary. Thanks, Jim

Hi, Really wondering if anyone knows someone who could deliver Manure to our allotments on City Road? We can't find anyone who'll deliver here, but I haven't the transport. We'd be willing to take the fact that it's a bit out of the way on the chin, Thanks, Jim

I saw someone doing this this morning, on springvale road. Got a reg, he was in a orange transit, wearing latex gloves going through bins. Pm me if you've had anything nicked and think the reg might be relevant.
