Sorry for being confusing! The 2.5m wall adjacent to the external door has a large window in it with a sink and cabinets underneath it. The star next to the external door is the location for the modern/vertical radiator. The other star next to the internal door is the one up for debate - do...

Hi, I have had a wall knocked down between my kitchen and dinning room and I'm in the process of putting radiators back as I had to remove them as part of the demolition. I still have a large double - probably 1.5m wide - radiator in the dinning room and I plan to put a tall radiator...

Thanks for the advice. So I will drain again and remove the isolators when we know where the new kitchen rad will be. The other issue is still bothering me though. All rads are on the same 'circuit' as it were. I've only cut into the 15mm Spurs coming off the 22mm ring so far so not sure if...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. I've drained my central heating system after ensuring that the cold water supply to the boiler is off. I have an unvented cylinder system.

Hi all, There are numerous posts on this topic but having read them, I'm still not 100% clear on the correct way to approach this specific job. I want to install a shower mixer bar on an internal breeze block wall. I plan to use copper pipes with a soldered elbow joint and would like to get...

Hi, I have an odd situation. I live in a 1st floor maisonette with our own garden at the back of the house. All of the plumbing for the house is at the front but I would like to fit an outside tap to the back of the house for watering the garden. I can't run pipework through the house...
