Great. Thanks for response.

Thanks for the reply. What I failed to mention is that in another room we currently have a thermostatic shower which does NOT have a pump and although the its not a power shower we are fairly happy with the pressure. We have also just had the whole of the upstairs carpeted which is why I...

Hello, I am currently installing a new bath/shower. There has never been a shower installed so will be chasing copper pipes into the wall from the bath feed (T joint)? The hot and cold are fed from 22mm pipes from HWCST and cold from tank in loft. The pressure to the old bath seemed pretty...

Thanks tpt...yes, some of it is loose, im reluctant to chop it all off back to the breeze block. I will remove as much loose debris as possible and fill using patching plaster, etc. The bit about PVA was applying the PVA in the holes before filling rather than after, if that makes...

Hello, I am in the process of re doing our bathroom and trying to do as much of it myself. I will be plumbing the bathroom myself but will be getting a tiler so the finish looks good. My question relates to repairing the walls so they are good/true enough to be tiled on to. I have removed...

thats great. thanks, so a gap between the mitre too...5mm?. im afraid a rip is going to be inevitable as it is L-shaped so there will be a rip at one or the other ledger walls.

Hello, I plan on framing my hardwood deck with a picture frame mitre and wanted to know if i should leave a gap in the mitre joints the same as i will have between the boards? Whilst Im at it I also wanted to confirm Im correct to lay the boards from the front of the deck moving towards...

Worth doing then. the F&E also has a part 1 come to think of it...and our our toilet cistern. I take it is a straight forward job? screw on new for the old? Anyway...thanks again for all your help. Im sure i'll be back on the forum in a few months time when winter kicks in and i need to know...

Apologies, Cold water tank. it currently has a very old part 1 ball valve...i think.

11 rads. Will give it a go on setting 2 then. Apologies, the noise on the pump is fine. Its a seperate issue... I was referring to the noise from the loft when the CWST fills after a bath/shower. I think a new part 2 ball cock might sort it out?

Ha ha...yes. Thanks for asking. It turns out there was a huge amount of air in the downstairs rads which i didn't bleed properly or in the correct order. I then bleed them and shut off all valves except the affected rad...it was piping hot within minutes...Result!! The CH system is doing my...

mmm...i think i will most probably leave it for the moment. We want to get a combi eventually so will do it then i think. Thanks again.

3 of the radiators get fully warm as if the heating is on, all the others in close vicinity of these three get slightly luke warm, mainly at the inlet pipes. As long as it is not doing any damage to the system im not that worried as i can just turn the rads off at the valves for the summer i guess.

Thanks Armo. Am i correct to think it does no harm other than make it uncomfortably hot in the summer? I.e. no damage to the system?

That would be great. Thanks. Doubt it will be covered by my CH insurance to fix?

We have recently moved into house with very old CH system. I have chemically cleaned the system and all rads are heating up nicely. However with summer approaching we don’t need the heating as much. I have noticed that when the hot water comes on for 40 minutes in the morning and 40 minutes in...
