ha :) Actually solid wall 1780's place with 33-36cm thick walls outside, no insulation on them, and 17 rads and lots of heat loss, so kindof just about copes mid winter.. been slowly pulling back internal walls to add in 50mm insulation, so hopefully yes in a year or so when its time to replace...

Ok narrowed it down...I replaced as said a few weeks back the motorised value, danfoss hpa2, but not the bit behind you also get in the pack, metal bracket on the pipe... I removed the motorised value, it's closed, so all good, but metal bracket is in closed position but heat gets though, must...

Ok, well I did first notice all this as one rad upstairs was like warm, then saw boiler on in first place...I had already replaced that motorised value, but maybe the timescale stuff I have not scraped enough off and it's sticking so no closing fully.. Ok I'll check that :) didn't think that...

Hi there This a job I need gas engineer for? It's a 40cdi system boiler, 10 years old, all works fine but last two weeks started firing on for a few mins, hits 60c usual temp, then stops, and repeats this maybe every 45mins of the day. Pump fine and all works when meant to work bar this... I...

ok lots of different suggestions, thanks all, ill try to remember to upload a photo of how it looks in about 2 weeks .

OK hisense dish washing machine I foundhas big gap bottom 15cm at front, I guess can add wood behind the plinth to secure the side panels and avoid floor fixings. Not likely to service tye machine that often.

I just tiled it, not ruining the floor.

Can't drill I to floor, maybe drill to back wall though.

Hi, having new kitchen in my garage conversion... On left hand side will he integrated dishwasher, ajd then fresh air to it's left as a walkway.. The sink will be to the right. What makes the worktop secure? I ask as bar one end panel c18mm, and a thin back panel, it all looks not very rigid...

Thanks

Sounds like I was not far off, maybe bit overkill the thickness of the wood. There will be a heavy belfast sink there, definitely want to support around the back of that.

Hello All We have a 700mm worktop deopth (2.4m length) on order, idea is we get an extra 10cm at the back to put stuff behind sink ect. If the base units are standard depth (wickes), so 570mm, and there is a 20mm overhand at the front, that is 590mm... which then means we end up with c110mm at...

@flameport won't there be a difference if rest is 50mm, but those bits are 30mm for keeping heat in... Maybe will be too small to notice the affect...

Solid walls, no cavity, c33-36cm thick. 50mm red grade tp roof battons, with 50mm insulation between. PB 12 5mm Board on top with vp layer. Aim to avoid cutting into insulation, so chasing, ajnd cannot insulate over battons, other reasons. Cables chased in wall, not on wall.

Hi Now I may be being a bit daft here... I was going to have two external solid walls chased inside for cable runs. Instead of me renting chaser tool ect I asked electrician and he said to, 'fit all the battons first and he can chase around them.' It is c21 metres he needs to chase overall...
