Hello, I have recently had my bathroom completed, which include all walls being covered in tiles. Now we have a nice powerful shower over the bath we have noticed a huge amount of condensation that builds on the tiles. I have been told that I need an extractor fan that vents to the...

Hello. Firstly thank you in advance. You are always really helpful. So my boiler is clicking on and off. I've lifted the front panel off ONLY, and there are a series of lights. The overheating light is OFF everything else is on The boiler light goes on and off constantly every 3...

The boiler appears to switch on and off. We have no thermostat so in theory when it's on it should stay on I would have thought. The boiler is a Baxi and a few years old. It's not a combi. When peering into the pilot light hole you can see it spark, and then shut off. Somehow we can...

Hi. I performed some searches on this forum. None seem to cover what I am after. 1. How is hot water preassure achieved ? I just need confirmation that preassue is obtained from the height (or in my case lack of it) of the cold water want in the loft. If my assumption to this question...

Ok, I am not very good and working in imperial. They are pretty big indeed, if they are the standard size say 7" or more will that be ok to drill a hole rather than enlarging the notch. That said it's good to know the ratio of the notch allowed, because at least I can work that out if...

The floor joists are around 4 inches in height from the lower ceiling to the floor upstairs and around an inch thick. I am replacing some old 28mm copper with this new 1/4 inch stuff to have a good bath/shower empty arrangement. However I am not able to use the existing grooves that have...

Hi All, Brought a new pop-up waste for my bath. I managed to remove the old overflow (all be it) with pliers in the holes and twisting.. it broke while doing it, but got there in the end. Now focused on the waste. The nut is quite hard to grip, but managed to get some good purchase on...

Thank you for the replies so far. There is a plastic pipe (which goes direct to the drain) Looking in the manual, it indicates the copper pipe with a bend it for presure release I think its 1.5bar the last time I checked. Will look in the morning after its been on over night

Had my new combi boiler for 4 months or so. I've noticed while in the shower that I could see what looked like large drops of water passing the outside window. Today for the first time it was not dark while I was in the shower, and I noticed so stuck my head out. There was a...

thank you all. Very useful I am placing an order with toolstation. They have several. But any recomendations welcome

I think your right about the cheaper ones. The only place I can think of that does them is BES. I will try another search. Also very interested in peoples opinions on whether this tool is any good or not. Just to confirm this is for copper pipe ?

I think I saw an electrical heating device that can be used rather than a gas torch. I hate using naked flames and prefer something a little safer. can anyone point me in the right direction

Hi. I'm not sure the best order to get the installs done in my kitchen. I have already has the plastering done. I also have all new electical wiring handing loose I've just completed installing the waste and water pipes ready for the units. To cut to the chase the gas man says call...

Not sure how many people are still watching this topic. However as the first reply mentioned I'm sure this has been covered before. I did do quite a bit of searching before hand both on the net and on the forums. My biggest problems was choosing the right words to search for. Anyway I...
