Hi. Can someone help with the wiring of a Wiser controller please ? I have a One Channel box to install, but not entirely sure what I need to do. I know I need to link the L to term 1 and looking at the Wiser instructions the output to the boiler goes to term 3, which is all fine. However...

Hi. I plan on building a pergola, attached to the rear wall above some bifold doors. What is the best way to attach the timber wall plate, to the wall ? The house is brick, 1950s semi, with new K Rend finish.

Correct me if I'm wrong - But this IS a DIY forum is it not ? Why do some of the trades have a bee in their bonnet about people doing it themselves ? If you don't like people DIY'ing, why bother going onto a DIY forum ? Is it just to show people that you know stuff they don't ? Don't get me...

I have 150 wedges and about the same clips (maybe more, I haven't counted em). They are left over from a job, if anyone wants them drop me a PM and we'll sort out a deal.

Does anyone know where to get some plum or wine coloured grout ? I can't find any anywhere. Cheers.

Can I simply use PVA as a primer before self levelling on a concrete floor ? Cheers Wayne

I want to lay some quartz 600x600 tiles in my kitchen. I have laid this size tile in my previous place, but found it a difficult job to get right. I have been advised to use levelling spacers, so what are peoples experiences ? I have seen various styles, which ones are recommended ? The...

I moved house last year and inherited a 1970's concrete slab double garage. I have an old motor I am restoring in there and everything has been fine, but with the never ending rain, I have noticed that the concrete floor is getting more and more damp which is not good for my projects !!! How...

I live in a 4 bed semi. No recent works carried out. But I did remove a rad in the Summer, to decorate the hall stairs and landing areas. Boiler is a WB 24 CDi. Just recently 2 upstairs bedroom rads stopped heating up at all. I have felt the pipes and they are cold too ? All the other...

Hi. I recently moved house and have inherited the boiler above. Which was fine, up until I fitted a new bathroom and installed a new thermostatic shower. There was an old thermo shower there previously, which was fine (nice and hot). But since fitting the new one, the shower isn't very...

Can anyone advise on ballpark costs for someone to build a retaining wall. The wall needs to go between me and my neighbours property. Very good access to both sides from the road, which also has excellent access. We are side onto a hill, my driveway rises from the pavement to approx. 4ft...

I have recently moved home and wish to move a radiator, which is currently placed on a wall behind the sofa, not ideal. I want to move it to another wall. The current pipework is 15mm. Will it make a huge difference if I drop the size to 10mm to feed the new rad location, which will be...

I have searched trust me, but can't find the answer. I want to build a single garage/workshop at the rear of an existing detached double concrete slab, pitch roofed garage. The current garage measures 6M x 4.5M and I want to add a 6M x 3M garage directly attached to the rear of this one...

I have searched but cannot find a solution. WORCESTER GREENSTAR 24i Junior Usual thing...Recently moved in, drained CH to remove a rad in an upstairs bedroom to decorate. Now there is no hot water ? The rad is still off the wall and the valves are still open, so there is zero CH...

Just had a local gas fitter round to quote for some work. I am not up to speed with boilers. He is offering to fit a "Ideal 35kW Condensing Boiler", I'm not too fussed about the cost, I think the price he has given seems a fair one to me. But I am more concerned that he is insisting this is...

Hi, Hopefully this is a simple one to diagnose for you boiler engineers. When I run the hot water, the boiler fires up as normal and the water runs hot initially. But after about 30seconds the boiler stops (as in the flames go out!) in the chamber. The tap then slowly gets colder and...

Fitted a pedastal sink and pedastal trap, but the damn thing is leaking badly. Not the usual top bit at the sink (I have sealed that well), but the compression fitting at the bottom of the trap. I don't think I have done anything silly, so do you think it is just a poor quality fitment ...

Hello again, Boiler ?? Switched FCU or plug/socket ?

Hi, Do I need to have seperate points of isolation for built in fridges, etc. i.e a socket below with a seperate switch above ? Or can it just be on an unswitched socket (below). Thanks
