Just had the same issue. I begrudgingly used a rubber coupler to take us down from the odd IKEA. Seems to be working though I'm not overly happy with it!

Well I fitted two of them. We love the look of them, I'll try and get a few photos when we have decorated fully. I spent a good amount of time flushing them out. For those talking about them being inefficient, I don't know if I agree. They bellow out the heat and once the heating has turned off...

Evening all! I've recently bought a few nice (in my opinion!) cast iron radiators and would like to plumb them in using preferably a large fitting and large pipe feeding 28mm or 22 at bare minimum. Ive attached a photo of the fitting which appears to be 1.25" but finding a suitable valve and...

Thanks Dan, some good ideas there. As for upheaval the house is currently under a massive makeover so at the moment all pipes are exposed from the room below. No scope for a window as it's on the middle floor of a 3 story victorian semi and the only wall that isn't a stud wall is the...

Hi Guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help, I'd love to find a solution for this problem. We've just had a new bathroom and airing cuboard fitted with a Worchester 30si combi. The bathroom doesnt have any windows and the extractor fan isn't doing enough to stop the bathroom staying very...

Sunday afternoon....so well dry now, I know it probably hasn't actually adhered the plasterboard back to the thermoshite but it's probably pushed it up against the skirting/staircase. Will do for me!

I went out and bought some expanding foam and used it before I read your reply....worked a treat thank god! :)

I'm re tiling our kitchen floor at the moment and need to remove the old adhesive, at present I'm using a wide chisel and it's taking bloody ages! Is there a quicker way or maybe a solution that will soften the original stuff? TIA :D

What is the best way to go about re fixing plasterboard that has become loose? Literally every piece in my hallway up the side of my stairs has become loose since I pulled the handrail off to fit a new one. I was thinking maybe drilling holes at intervals and filling with expanding foam...any...

Will have a better look tomorrow when everyone is out the house, thanks very much for your help thus far :)

Hiya mate, just been in the loft and had a quick look, bearing in mind CH has been on flow pipe hot to start with...ran the tap full whack whilst feeling the pipes DHW pipe red hot for a second then luke warm CH FLOW remained hot. Looked at the condensate trap (from underneath) and it appears...

Hi, just after a few ideas before I call out the dreaded plumber or if it is something that I can change myself? My boiler seems to have done this now and then since installation but very infrequently now it is doing it almost if not every time there is a demand for hot water. When you...

Thanks guys :D

Have you tried taking the lid of the cistern and trying to flush? Is it then any better? Two blobs of sealant in the corner helps mine, some how the ceramic lid seals and you dont get any air in there.

9' of pipe between nearest cold water draw off and the heater? Is this right and why? <---will make it a nightmare to fit as the nearest cold water draw off is about 3' away. Is that instead of a expansion vessel? I could make a maze of copper under the sink :twisted: If water pressure...

I understand relays..and their uses...I'm hoping you can help me with this so bear with me. I'm looking to turn a water boiler on when the lights in my garage come on, basically so its not left on overnight. The lights are always switched off when I leave and on when I enter despite the...

Hi, I've managed to lay my hands on a Zip aquapoint II water heater that I want to install in my garage under the sink, the installation notes I have come across mention various valves.....The installation that it was in previously had nothing apart from a service valve. I'm tempted to bang...
