Thanks all. Current thermostat is a wireless Honeywell system I put in 15 years ago- works fine but it too would need to be swapped out. I’m having a rethink and I’m going to see how feasible it would be to install or build a manifold that I can easily isolate without walking into every room in...

Oh lord it’s all very complicated

Ah I couldn’t be doing that every day

Hi there. My self and herself both work from home. She works in the attic I work downstairs- we rarely have the heating on during the day but if we did we would be heating the whole house. I was wondering if WI-FI TRVs are a thing (I’m sure I saw them) and if they would be a suitable solution...

Hi there I'm paving an area in my back garden 20 sq M. I have dug out and the sub base and grit is arriving for the weekend. The plan is 75mm MOT1 50mm grit then the paving which are about 55 high and 165mm square. I've a few questions. (I have read paving expert site head to toe bit...

I thought it would be less prone to staining than say bricks....(if it were sealed anyway) But im open to correction on this!

Literally anything!! Any sort of DIY thats too dirty to do inside! I do have a garage but some work lends itself to being @ the back door. I could be breaking an engine one week...just servicing a bike/plumbing/carpentry anything really. This week for example ive been a tree surgeon...

Yeah maybe it would ... I'd still prefer something along the lines of concrete as I envisage working out there occasionally. Is a polished concrete slab a hard thing to achieve. Cheers Marty.

Something like in pic 4 http://goldstarplasticsireland.ie/carports-and-canopy/ I have bricks for the floor.

Hi there, Im wanting to lay a concrete slab at the back of my house. About 5M * 4M. There wont be anyone driving on it however i am going to put a canopy over it (clear Polycarbonate roof on steel frame) It will be a lean to roof with only a very small angle and the roof will be attached...

Yeah that would sound about right...the flow is keeping it cool when first run. But when shut down the heat built up on the face of the stat is not been taken away because the scale is insulating it. Ill rip it apart and report back...unfortunately the only way to test this properly will be...

There is also the CM921...the cm927 allows you set different temperature profiles for different days of the week....maybe overkill for what you want. I have the 921 and i have installed them for others and they are a great bit of kit. Re the TRV's: Decide on a room that the stat will live...

I understand Agile...water and electronics and naked people is a bad mix!! However times are tough and id rather not splash out on a new one if i can repair it. ...just looking for pointers before i open it up. Ive replaced a motor and a solenoid in a mira before and thats still running :)...

Hi there, We have a Triton T90Si at home...its been great. However lately if i have a shower in the morning, it will work absolutely perfect...but if i shut it off and the misses gets in it even 10 or 15 minutes later sometimes it wont heat up for her.... As you can imagine my misses isnt...

Building a trailer for camping stuff... It needs to be dry inside b It's a metal frame with timber roof. I need to put some sort of vinyl/Epdm/ membrane on the roof to keep the water out. Any ideas on an affordable solution?? Needs to be thin durable and waterproof(and not look like...

Hi there Haven't been here in a while... Built a garage in 2007 with help from here and it's holding up well... Was my first time doing any sort of concrete work. Slate roof,velux windows, parapet gutter to neighbours boundary wall, wired it with it's own consumer unit plumbed it, electric...

Got an epoxy tape today. Before I applied it I got a wire brush to the pipe and it all but disintegrated. Anyway I've the epoxy stuff on now so I'll see tomorrow if it's holding pressure.. I reckon it will but I'm fearful of an elbow closeby not holding up. I'd say I'll end up plugging...

Cheers Tony. Are you aware of any tape systems?? I'm sure I came across one before where you activated the tape befoe you wrapped it around leak and it formed a grp when it went off. I'm hesitant to put ackamp in it as I fear the pipe will crumple. Cheers Marty.

Hi there My mums heating starting filling with air at a rapid rate recently. Had a look and decided there wad a pretty bad leak under the floor. After a bit of investigating located the leak... Under 4 inches if concrete under a wooden floor. Anyway I excavated it today and have a nice...
