Request: uPVC window sill (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Hoping for a door/window sill, about 2.5m wide, if anyone is replacing windows soon. Prefer uPVC, but wood would be fine too. Thanks.

Request: kitchen cabinet door/shelves (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired If anyone's taking out a kitchen... We've just removed a double oven, and want a door to cover the gap. 60cm by around 90cm. (Or perhaps two shorter doors ) Also looking for a back and shelves (48cm depth) if available. (A light oak finish would be perfect, but in practise happy with anything.) Thanks

Free: backpack (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired well past its best, but perhaps of use to someone. The padding in the right should strap is compressed down, and there's a small hole in the seam at a bottom corner (second picture).

158d

Free: basic electric drill (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted Single speed, no fancy features, but good enough for basic DIY

177d

Free: metal filing cabinet (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted 4-drawer metal filing cabinet - 132x62x46cm We've had it in the garage for about 20 years, so a bit scratched, but perfectly functional. With lots of card files. I don't think it has any keys,

177d

Free: pair of ceiling lights (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted two matching pendant ceiling lights

240d

Free: under-counter fridge (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted Hotpoint "Future" model RLA30. About 85cm tall. Old, but works perfectly - we're upgrading to a fridge-freezer. Should be available from Friday, assuming the replacement arrives as planned.

246d

Free: pans/wok (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted A set of pans with wooden handles, and a wok. The frying pan is a bit burnt on the bottom, as is the wok. Not suitable for induction hob, and the wooden handles mean the pans are not really suitable for dishwasher. Plus a couple of spare lids - 16.5cm diameter. No need for everything to go together.

Free: cables (video, telephone) (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired Lots of surplus cables - video (mostly scart, one hdmi, some s-video and a few other misc. standards) - pc monitor (vga, dvi-d, some dvi to vga splitters) - some computer disk cables (sata and pata) - phone extension - some coax tv ariel No expectation that you will take everything. Just ask if there's anything you're looking for and I can see if I have something.

303d

Free: DC power adapters (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired Lots of DC power adapters over a wide range of voltages (many 12V, some more, some less). From various devices like old laptops, broadband routers, etc. If you let me know what you need, I can take a look to see if I have anything to match.

303d

Request: thermometer clamp/probe (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired Perhaps a long-shot, but I'm looking for a thermometer to measure radiators pipes, for balancing. Preferably one that clamps to the pipe, but maybe even one with a probe, as long as it responds reasonably rapidly. Probably not a medical one since those have quite limited range. Analogue or digital; standalone or usb. Thanks, Dave.

310d

Free: bookcase (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired 152x84x27cm Not the most beautiful piece of furniture, but quite robust. Some scratches on the top (and probably all over). The big shelf doesn't match the colour of the rest of it. There are guides for sliding doors on the front, but I don't have those. Note that I don't think it would dismantle for transport.

Free: Two small black bags (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired One is a laptop bag, with Citrix logo. The other is a sort of satchel, with Sun logo. Both have a carrying handle and a shoulder strap. Happy to split - no need to take both.

321d

Free: central heatings bits and pieces (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted Salvaged from a recent plumbing refit. Happy to split - no need for everything to go together. 1) Hot water cylinder jacket. 4 pieces of insulation which should be strung together to go around a hot water cylinder. Similar to 2) 3-position motorised valve. Might benefit from a new motor or replacing the motorised part, but that's still a saving over buying new. 3) a 3-speed water pump. 4) controllers: a programable immersion heater switch ; a Honeywell CM67 programmable room thermostat (quite old, but works well) ; a fairly standard gas controller (sliders to allow once or twice per day, or 24 hours).

Free: exit game (mostly playable) (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired If you're familiar with this series, you'll know they're really only designed to be played once, with components being damaged during play. We've tried to take care to minimise damage, so I think it should be possible to get at least one more playthrough out of it.

Free: freeview+ / pvr box (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted An old hard-disk tv recorder. Scart only. Possibly obsolete with catchup-tv, but might be useful for converting an old tv to freeview. Worked last time we used it. I will retest before collection if anyone is interested.

Free: gas hob (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted gas hob, 58cm x 51cm. Works fine, but we've upgraded to induction. One occasional quirk with the ignition from time to time - remind me to demonstrate.

Free: misc. kitchenware (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted Various bits and pieces as pictured. The pans are not induction-compatible, which is why we've had to upgrade them. No lid for the bigger pan, unfortunately. Can split if you don't need everything.

Request: 1000-gauge plastic sheeting (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Expired I need a small piece of plastic sheeting, to wrap up asbestos for disposal. I'm thinking perhaps a plastic sack that was used to deliver building materials ? thanks

Free: old fence posts (Flackwell Heath, HP10) Gifted 4/5 old fence posts that have been replaced. Obviously they've rotted at the bottom, but still 5' of fairly sturdy post if it's of use to anyone.
