Many thanks for your prompt reply. I forgot to mention, in the same wall there are two large sash windows, which let quite a lot of draft in as well, they are not double glazed! It would be great to get rid of one, at least, as they look pretty bad on the wall, and i want to redecorate soon.

Hello, Please, I would like some advice concerning air vents, i have two vents in my back bedroom, they are located on the back wall 2m off the floor, 2m apart. They were apparently installed several years ago after the bedroom was severely flooded due to a burst pipe in the ceiling. Apart...

I used .75 mm, two core cable. the terminals were more than adequate to double up the wiring to daisy-chain the spots. As the ceiling rose is on a loop and connected to a switch i did'nt fancy messing with the circuit by replacing it with a junction box. All seems to be working.

Oh my god, i did'nt expect a major debate.......on the subject but your comments are much appreciated! I just wanted to be reassured what i'm doing is is correct, before i go ahead and wire them up, i kind of know what i doing honest!?? For speed, I was thinking of replacing the wire for the...

Could any one out there put my mind at rest and answer my query. I wish to replace my existing single ceiling light with 5 mains halogen spots. Can i run them all on a circuit from the original rose, wiring each one into the next, also each spot light only has two terminals for the wire 'in'...

The boiler is a Worcester 7??, i'm not at home at the mo. The boiler does click and the burners fire up, but not sure if they stay on for the duration of the tap running. Would that suggest a diverter valve problem? If so could you give me a ball park figure for replacement/fitting?

Thanks, i'll see if the pressure has stabilized by the weekend, if not try removing the loop. Do you do house calls!? I have another problem, where the hot water will run hot then go cold, and continue to change. My unattainable plumber checked the diaphragm which was working and said it was...

The 'filling loop' is and always has been permanently fixed to the water mains in-pipe by a T junction, supplying the boiler. Its located underneath the boiler, amongst a tangle of pipe work. The only possible way to removed it, would be to undo the compression nuts. At the moment the filling...

thankyou for your expert knowledge and coming to my aid, although being a novice plumber i'm slightly lost by your reply. I not sure what you mean by softus!? Also i persume the filling loop, is the hose attachment (which is a flexi-pipe with an on-off valve) which feeds the boiler from the...

Recently i removed a radiator in my kitchen, and put a stop end on the pipe. i have a combi-closed heating system. since then the pressure in the system has been gradually rising from around 1.2 bar up to just under 2. i have been frequently relieving the pressure, bleeding the othjer...
