So what would you look at if it is getting hot from both?

Ok so turned the hot water on again. The non trv pipe is hot, where the trv pipe is not. These are the 2 pipes coming from the floor.

So what would you look at if it is getting

So this morning the rad did get warm with the hot water being on. Spoke to my plumber and he thinks a non return valve was not fitted when the builders added the additional pipework and rads. He is going to pop by and fit one. Does that sound correct??

So I just tested the system again. Turned off the hot water (all rads were cold) and turned on the heating. All rads including the loft one is getting hot. So does this mean it is plumbed in correctly? Can 1 rad get hot on both hot water and heating? To test my theory the hot water only comes...

The unvented cylinder was installed 6 weeks ago while the floor was up etc, and they installed the rad after the plastering etc was complete.

What does that mean?? I know absolutely nowt about heating.

Yes same plumber. He left pipes for the builders to add the radiators to. They then installed the radiators. I know nothing about heating systems, but could they have hooked the radiator to the hot water system?? Is that a possibility?

Hi Guys. I have just had a loft conversion built, and hopefully finished by the weekend. As part of the work we had a new unvented cylinder installed in the attic ( same floor as the loft rad) with the boiler still on the ground floor. I have just noticed that the new radiator in the loft is...

Hi All, I have a small area of the garden that has crappy patio slabs that are all a bit wonky. I want to tidy it up with minimal effort (already done decking and other jobs during lockdown). The slabs seems very stable, including the 6 slabs in the photo that are a different colour that have...

thanks. I just went ahead and cut the cable to make sure it did still work, and yes they do. So it has 2 cable - Live & Neutral. I am going to insulate these 2 from each other. i will get some adhesive heatshrink for that. Now am I able to put a cap on the end cable to give it a really good...

so....... Can I shorten them and make the end waterproof?

Hi All, i have some festoon lights that I have just hung up in the garden. They are the ones that come with a 3 pin socket on one end, and a 3 pin plug on the other, so that you can daisy chain them if needed. It turns out that mine are a bit too long for my garden, and would like to take the...

hi all, i will be laying a floating deck for the first time this weekend, and all the wood has been ordered. i will be making the frame out of 2x4, and the deck is going onto an area of grass that has been levelled to my best ability. The decking area is approx 3mx2.8m. i will not be concreting...

Ok, after work I went to the Dulux Decoration Center to have a look at options. I.spoke to one of the helpful staff who told me I should look at the Dulux Ultimate Opaque paints. The non quick one is solvent based rather than water, and it.can be mixed into over 600 different colours. I also...

Hi guys. I am putting up my Tuin log cabin next week, and I need help with which wood preserve and paint to use. I want a finish that is less like a stain and more like a paint. I have been told that Sikkens is a good brand, but not much else. We want a colour between grey and blue, but not...

Th Thanks for the reply. Will definitely take.on board about the base being smaller. I think that the cabin company say that it needs to be 4.8m x 4.8m, which will be exactly the same size as the cabin. Also should I look at possibly insulating the base? Thanks. Nick

Hi All, This Easter, I am going to try and lay the concrete base for my Log cabin. I am purchasing and building in the summer. So far I have had 1 quote which included some tree clearance and breaking up a previous base and small patio, which came in at over 5k!!!!! So I am going to do as much...

Hi guys. Not too sure which forum this would go in, so I thought I would chuck it into General. Next year we are hoping to install a Log Cabin from Tuin in our garden to replace 2 falling down sheds. It is going to be used as a bit of a dumping ground / storage / workshop etc, as we don't have...
