Hi All, Does anyone have experience with this type of single room heat recovery units? Getting a lot of condensation in the bedrooms and seen these advertised. Retrofitting a full MVHR would be extremely difficult and expensive. We're in a flat roofed bungalow so not interested in a simple...

Folks, need some advice. I have a large, long "bungalow" with a Vaillant ecotech plus 630 at one end driving a closed/megaflow type system. It's a long way to the other end. We have mixed heating types: Traditional radiators, underfloor for the extension and polypipe overlay for the sitting...

Hi All, I have a 1.8M x 1.8M shed next to my house made from single skin brick. I'm moving the gas boiler in to it and want to put a freezer in it as well. Freezers don't like the cold so I'd like to insulate the interior walls with celotex. My question is, do I need to batten-out and...

For the avoidance of doubt. I'm about to install electric UFH to my bathroom. I have direct access to the CU so can run a new spur. Most controller instructions say I need an RCD. Please confirm (or otherwise) that I can use the RCD in the CU and do not need to put another one near the...

Hi, I'm renovating a 70's bungalow which has 3 separate flat roofs. One leaks like a sieve and another is on it's way so I'd like to convert them to warm roofs. Approx sizes (in mm) are 4000 x 4000, 9600 x 8600 and 8400 x 8400. We've currently stripped the whole place (no ceilings...

Hi, I've an old SD620F which has given years of good service and still produces lots of very hot water but now leaks like a sieve from the two rubber pipes on the left. Should I repair it? If so, where can I get the rubber pipes from? If replace it, can I get another SD to fit the...

My flat was converted in the late 1980's and has a small bathroom with a single 40W light and an extractor fan. The 240V extractor is directly over the bath near the taps and shower. The light is in-line with the edge of the bath. Although professionally converted, this seems pretty dodgy...

I've a single oven and gas hob and want to replace both with a double oven and ceramic hob. It has a single outlet controlled by a new MK 45A cooker control with 13A socket. The breaker is 40A. My questions are: a) Is a 40A breaker sufficient? b) Is there a double outlet I can replace...
