@MisterBoy I'm going to go with more expensive based on the research I've done so far. However I was hoping someone had found an option perhaps I hadn't discovered yet that would bring the price down. Wishful thinking ☺️

Hi, Planning on building a retaining wall which is approximately 14m long and 1m high. Was looking at softwood sleepers but wanted to explore other options. Interested in using Recycled plastic beams/sleepers. Couple of questions: - Has anyone had any experience of using them? - How do they...

CBW and STEM thanks for your help. Made the switch and so far...(fingers crossed)...it's working. Thanks again for your help.

Ahhhh....well I might have wrongly identified the boiler as it's British Gas branded. Find a picture of the boilers control panel. Also with the fuse, picture attached, would that not suggest it's capable of mains switching?

Thanks Chris. You mean the receiver? Had a look and couldn't see how you determine if it's capable of main's switching. How do you check? Is the wiring correct?

Thanks. Okay. Gone through all of the notes and the final wiring below. BDR91 – 1x Blue Wire in N TADO – Supply N BDR91 - 2x Brown Wire in L TADO – Supply L BDR91 - 1 x Brown Wire in A TADO - Central Heating (CH) - COM (1) BDR91 - 1 x Blue Wire in B TADO - Central Heating (CH) - NO (4) Is...

Thanks Stem. I don't have a hot water cylinder. I have the middle boiler which I believe is a Vaillant ecoTec Pro 24. Does that make any difference? Edit Also, find attached an image of the receiver. Looks a little different to yours without the numbers. Can see the P1 though.

Hi, Trying to replace my BDR91 with a Tado Wireless Receiver. Find a picture of my BDR91 attached. Read a lot of different articles and believe I need to complete the following wiring. My BDR91 doesn't appear to have a bridge between L and A. I have the following questions: - Where does A...

@thomp1983 huge thank you for the offer but going to buy the valves. Was just busy buying the wireless kit which I’ll have a try at fitting. Thanks again for the offer.

All big thanks for your help and Thom1983 thanks for the images. Looks like there's lots of options. I think the best bet is to buy a set and put them on my downstairs radiators and then try one of them on the radiator upstairs. Got DANFOSS RAS-D² ANGLED THERMOSTATIC TRV & LOCKSHIELD 10/15MM X...

Hi, Considering buying the Tado Smart Thermostat and valves. However I'm not sure if my upstairs radiators will be compatible with the valves. Has anyone had any experience of installing Tado Smart Valves. Do you know how to determine if they'll fit?

Thanks all. Really appreciate the feedback. Was reading some reviews and it mentions that the cutter had chipped tiles. Want to spend a little bit more as I expect to use it on other jobs. Can anyone recommend any other brands and models? I'm thinking around £60 to £100.

Hi All, Thanks for all of your help and apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Planning on going with: https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-erb337tcb-750w-tile-cutter-230v/34771 Was thinking that this would give me flexibility for future tiling jobs. What tile cutter would you recommend...

Hi, Merry Christmas everyone. A bit of a newbie to tiling and cut my teeth on my first tiling project (ceramic tiles), some basic tiling around a sink. Now need to tile a porch step and I've got some uncalibrated slate tiles, see link...

Thanks PrenticeBoyofDerry. Narrowed it down to: http://www.heatmiser.com/web/index.php/thermostats/wireless-thermostat-series or: http://www.heatmiser.com/web/index.php/thermostats/wifi-thermostat-series Anyone had any experience with either of them. Also with the Wi-Fi version...
