Dear Lazyweb,


So I'm looking for some of those magnetic cupboard closure thingies. You know, where you shut the cupboard and the magnet thing on the door attaches to the magnet thing on the frame, and it stays shut. I have three floor-ceiling cupboards and I can't be arsed to secure the bolts all the time.


So what are they called? I've hunted high and low on websites, but can't find 'the thing', probably because I'm not using the right words. Or I'm looking in the wrong place.

Oh, I've never bought cupboards. These are 1930s floor-to-ceiling built in hall cupboards, with vast expanses of wood. That always seem to swing open when not attached...Drives me mad!

If you put any liquid sealent into your heating system it is likely to block parts that are not at fault, and cost you a lot of money later, if you are going to open your system to put it in, then why not open it at the leaking place it might be just a washer or loose fitting, get it done now before the winter sets in or when a plumber is very busy.

There is a drain down point somewhere very low mostly outside the back door of a house, if you did drain the system it might relieve the pressure in the pipe at least it would remove the rust that otherwise will act as a blockage with the sealent added. Dont forget to turn off your heater first and bleed the radiators afterwards.

Thanks SteveT. Will pop down.


computedshorty, the problem is that the whereabouts of the very slow leak is unknown, but the very gradual drop in pressure suggests there might be one. Have had the floorboards up in various places, and various bits of plumbing done to replace sections, and no joy yet...

    • Yes it could be a massive improvement and useful to hear that contracts have finally been awarded. I totally understand though why doubts are expressed about when the new square will open. This 2012 BBC article about mayoral funding after the London 2011 riots says "In Southwark, which saw parts of Peckham hit by the rioters, there are plans to redevelop Peckham Rye station". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-19167948 A decade later, the first phase on Blenheim Grove - the white buildings with the new roof deck - was kind of completed by summer 2022. Yet three years on those buildings are still covered with hoardings, gathering ever more graffiti. There has been no clear or coherent explanation from Southwark why, just some excuses of water ingress. How much rent must have been lost in that time and who has taken the resultant financial hit? In that context is it unreasonable to doubt that the new square will be fully opened next year - rather we'll get a fenced in walkway leading through an 80% completed square that we're forced to squeeze through for years to come? Dare I also remind people that the reality of what was built on Blenheim Grove didn't look as good as the renders. With construction inflation recently so high, it's valid to ask how the resultant funding gap for the main phases of this scheme will be bridged. It's not just Southwark's inability to manage major projects that are a concern but also its senior leadership's reluctance to be transparent about problems let alone make any visible efforts to tackle them.
    • Camberwell Old Cemetery weren't this morning, oddly out with strimmers near the meadow area;,but.... It's generally a haven for wildlife so can be forgiven 😊
    • "im good with .....". Good as an adjective not adverb
    • My recollection is initially it was a corner of the pub rather than a room.
