I need a section of dado rail.and skirting replaced in my house. Does anyone know the profile name of the dado rail and skirting and where I can buy a short length of 1m each? It's a Victorian house. Dado rail is 3.5cm and skirting 17.5cm. Surely they must be common but I can't find for the...

Thanks and yes I agree they are not all the same and I don't know which one looks right! My comment about Spanish slate vs Welsh slate yes I know Welsh is more expensive but I am being quoted £10k as an "upgrade fee" which doesn't sound right for an area of 3x x 6m. This means I am paying ~£15k...

I am a home owner and have a mid terraced Victorian house in London. The back roof needs replacing (over 100 years old, minor leaks). I've got four quotes but since I'm not an expert I don't know what I should be asking these guys, what material they should use etc. Can anyone help? Some...

Ok so I have moved the drum as much as I can. From side to side there is very little movement and it doesn't hit anything. There is no noise when I rotate the drum by hand. When I move it back and forth - if I push it hard enough then it knocks the back panel of the machine. However I have...

Thank you (both) :) I will check tonight when I get home.

I have a ~10 year old Siemens washing machine. On medium spin speeds there is a knocking noise. The volume of the noise / shaking of the drum varies depending on the load weight. When I wash bed sheets and towels the noise is louder and the drum moves more than a clothes load. I typically fill...

Hi there, I nees to replace my single zone underfloor heating manifold + pump in my 30sqm kitchen (long story why). Does anyone have any recommendations of a brand of manifold and where to buy from? Many thanks,

Hi, I've already had three "experts" look at it and no root cause identified by any of them yet. Unfortunately i don't have a system diagram. It's a single room loop and I have two zones - one for radiators and one for the kitchen ufh. It initially worked for 2 years after first installed...

Thanks. Is anyone able to identify from the photos what the brand of manifold Is? There are no markings whatsoever on it. Potentially it may have been bought from Screwfix or Toolstation in January 2016. These companies only sell John Guest manifolds. Can anyone confirm this looks like a John...

Hi there, I had a third plumber come today. He believes the problem lies with the pump sensor (box in photo). There is no branding on the sensor so he is unable to replace it with another one. He has suggested removing it all together and advised that its am extra precautionary measure and not...

Update - I had a plumber come today who spent around 1.5 hours looking at it. He couldn' figure out what was wrong so he called grundfos. Grundfos said the pump is not right for underfloor heating, it' too powerful which is why the heating keeps switching off as most likely it's over heating...

Yes there is a green light and it gets hot. The plumber changed the pump twice so we've ruled out a pump issue.

Hi there, Photos attached. The arrow is pointing down into the floor.

Hi there, yes it's certainly a possibility it's the wrong way round. When the plumber fitted the first pump that broke down he originally fitted it the wrong way round. It was only when I called another plumber who identified and corrected the issue that the heating started working again until...

Hi, the floor is getting no where near that temperature. It barely gets warm and it's patchy. It was working 2 months ago before the pump broke down. Here are some more photos

I have under floor heating in my kitchen. My boiler is a Worcester Bosh 24 CDI and the ufh pump is a Grundfos. The radiators are on a different zone powered by a different thermostat. Recently the ufh incoming flow seems to be pumping hot for one minute followed by luke warm water for another...

I have a wet underfloor heating system with a grundfos multi head g pump. I previously had a grundfos auto ump 3 auto l pump which was faulty and the plumber replaced it with the multi head g. Previously the floor would get warm after 2 hours. Since the new pump was fitted, the floor only gets...

Hi there, I have a wet underfloor heating system in my kitchen (35sqm) which is causing problems. I had a grundfos auto upm3 l pump which was displaying pump blocked message. The deblocking screw was damaged so the whole pump was changed 2 weeks ago. The plumber fitted an older grundfos pump...

Morning, I had plumber take a look at it. He said the de blocking screw is totally destroyed and he'd have to replace the whole pump. Does anyone know if there is a way to remove a damaged screw rather than replace the whole pump?

Hi there, With regards to the pump (is this the part inside the cupbaord?) the right hand pipes are hot and the left pipe is cold at the bottom. The fl7oor is warm in some areas, not warm in other areas and cold in other areas. The pump is set to 45'c and I've not changed this setting since...
