It's a bit complicated. We're agricultural tenants and the engineer is employed by our landlord. I am aware that under normal circumstances (I'm also a landlord) that the landlord takes full costs of such an installation, however ours is not a standard residential tenancy so an agreement has...

And besides, it's nearer 600 rather than 300 difference, which is about 10% less

I wish it was that simple unfortunately. This engineer hasn't been involved with sourcing any of the radiators etc, he designed and has been overseeing the project. Once the plan was drawn up it was sent out to tender and a contractor won the bid. That's one of the reasons I knew that it was...

It's a bit more than just 50cc though. It's almost every radiator in the house that isn't what was agreed. We have had to fight for everything that we have asked for and been met with a degree of hostility for even asking e.g. moving a radiator from one wall to another and a larger oil tank, let...

The problem is that it is not what we agreed to in the original plans. The engineer has changed the plan without any discussion or agreement. As a friend of mine said, would you be happy to buy a car, discuss and agree that you are getting model X and the specs in front of you are the specs for...

Thank you. I'm currently trying to work out how you can lose over 1000 BTU require. We were originally told that this room (dining room) needed at BTU requirement of 6352. The radiator that was originally planned and agreed has a BTU rating of 8495 but the radiator that has been installed is...

Hello I'm looking at calculating the BTU requirements for several rooms for our central heating system installation. I have done several online calculators and the requirement for one of our rooms seems to range from 5000 up to 8000 depending on the calculator. Is there anything that I...

Thank you. That looks perfect :)

Two years ago I bought and installed a Yale Smartphone Alarm system. At the time I bought it I was told (by Yale) that it would work on a wifi system which was one of the main selling points for me (the other being the Smartphone facility and the wireless nature of it) Anyway, came to install...

Update for you all. We've got hot water (y)(y) Other half is reluctant to accept I was right :rolleyes: Thank you all again Ps Agas that would be telling :LOL::sneaky:

Thank you. Although if I was single Id be meeting you in the Highlands ;):p:love: :) Xx

Thanks John I'm going to try this slightly lower (about just over 1cm lower) grate to see what happens. Then next time I'm out shopping go get a really low one (I saw one the other day :D) and a smoke candle. Although I'm busy watching the smoke from the fire at the moment to see what...

We use the immersion heater, or he goes to his parents. Ideally what he would have loved is a wood burning stove put in with the boiler but our landlord didn't. There have been many problems with this fire even before I came along, some were sorted, some weren't, some were made worse!! I've...

Not sure, it's been like that all the time I've known it and the sweep never said anything about it when he came. I believe we have lost a bit of pointing, right hand side back but that's it. Ok, now for the next puzzle. I've just got the old grate out but it seems to be same height as the...

Thank you for the kind offer, you had me at hot water :LOL: and the shooting lodge in the highlands sounds fantastic for a quiet (or not so quiet :sneaky:) getaway Although as my mum used to say, be careful what you wish for :D:p

I think he is giving in. A mentioned the fact that the old grate meant we had hot water and explained that the flame etc has to go through and up the arch. He still wasn't convinced. Anyway whilst tidying up we found the old grate, he kind of said there it is if you want it. So tomorrow...

Thank you We didn't install it, our landlord (cough council cough) did and they're not really bothered by us, most councils tend to be selling off their farms nowadays so we're lucky in that respect. So I was right, other half is going to get grief now :sneaky: although I've just told him and...

Ok not sure why that didn't upload, try again

Ok managed to get it as clean as I'm going to get it without getting an actual scrubbing brush on it, I'll be another few days if I do that haha But here's a photo of it empty. :) I'm now filthy and trying to pluck up the courage for a bath :confused: I'll post a picture of it with the grate...

Welcome to the back of beyond, well the junction of two motorways anyway (I live on a farm) I'll admit, I miss my central heating :mrgreen:
