I recently had a column radiator fitted which has exposed the naff wall hidden by the old (single panel) radiator. I've found plenty of guidance on how to remove a radiator with 'conventional' valves but this one has these 'tap' valves on each end. Is there any guidance on how you shut these...

as title, had a radiator and pipes replaced (so they go under the floor rather than above), once fitted the boiler no longer works the red LED indicates 'shutdown due to insufficient water circulation' and the yellow LED indicates ' temporary shutdown due to defective discharge of exhaust...

I've got a Combi boiler in a cupboard that is plugged into a single 3pin socket (which sits proud of the wall, i.e. back box not flush). It's in a convenient position for me to run my laptop, monitor, etc. from. Could you please tell me whether it's safe to: - simply plug a two way adapter...

Underneath the floorboards in the spare room is thick 'mystery' pipe that I would like some help identifying! It appears in the middle room. You can see it as distinct from the radiator pipes: But it's also up near the window: Following it to the right of the above pic, it goes down into...

Recently moved into a small Victorian London terrace with a uPVC front door which I want to replace. The render reveal (i.e. brick to brick opening) is: 2258mm height and 775mm width. I've been told that, due to the narrowness of the opening, part of the wall would have to be removed to...

Looking for advice on parapet wall refurbishment cost. Been quoted £450 to "hack off" 1x side of loose render (the top photo), supply and fit render bead, apply 2x coat of render (scratch coat and finish coat) and clean all debris off site. Also been quoted an additional £300 to replace lead...

I'd like to move this non-load bearing wall over to the right (expanding the 'hallway' width) and extend it out a bit further (while reducing its width). I'm pretty sure it's not load-bearing. It's hollow. The joists above run parallel to it. It does however have two light switches (one either...

Moved into property and the bathroom radiator has what looks like a fair bit of rust on it. Is it salvageable or do I need a new one?

Could anyone tell me what the exterior finish on my house is? Looks like a coarse type of render—next doors is similar but much smoother, which I’d like to replicate. How easy / difficult would that be?

I’ve attached photos of a loose ‘board’ which I think is ‘engineered wood’ or laminate? As far as I can tell I can’t stain or paint this. From the other photos it looks like it’s on top of traditional wooden floorboards (which themselves are on top of a wooden subfloor). We want to change...

I've just moved into a property with a combi boiler and a 'Honeywell Home' unit attached to it: From searching online, we should have another unit somewhere in the house with a digital display, e.g.: However, we do not have such a unit. The only thing resembling it that we do have is...
