Hi My Potterton Osprey is playing up a bit.... It's an open vent system with separate hot water tank (i.e. not a combi) and the central heating side works fine. Water though is a bit unpredictable, so today I did me an experiment. 1. Emptied the hot tank till it ran cold 2. Let it...

Spot on Barkie...many thanks!

Morning All I've got a couple of duff TRV heads that need replacing and rather than change the whole valve I wanted to ask if anyone could identify the valve head. I'd then buy the whole valve but just replace the head. Many thanks in advance!

I think I've found someone now Richard..he does the bulk of the work himself but gets a tiler and electrician in as required. Fingers crossed his quote is OK!

Thanks Tony. I've been quoted £4750 and felt it was a tad high. I was only really looking for a ballpark so many thanks. The tiling 'decision' was purely in a bid to keep costs down as it's a guest ensuite, but ultimately probably won't make that much difference. Gary

OK..fair enough!

Hello All Would appreciate if anyone in the know could give me a ballpark cost for the following ensuite: 2m x 1.2m ensuite Fit shower cubicle, shower valve, toilet and sink (cut into existing soil stack which is conveniently located) Fit shower pump, downlighters and extractor Tile...

Agreed...I'm more than happy to pay someone well for a quality job. Just not many many thousands to middlemen. Can I email you the details so you can quote?

Thanks for the info Richard...I did know having replaced a few windows last year with a company I wouldn't go near again. Managed to get FENSA accreditation but couldn't measure for toffee.

The company is called Duration and they have told me they are definitely supply only.

Evening All I'm looking to replace my old steel windows with aluminium units pretty soon and I've had a few quotes to supply and fit (7-10k). Seemed a bit high to me and managed to get a supply only quote from a manufacturer. They quoted £2.5k. Big difference so I'm thinking, I'll get...

Good news on the leak! Many thanks for your thoughts on this. I'm on a limited budget for the time being and not sure if it's best spent on replacing some of my crittall windows or going for a more efficient boiler. Or put it all on the lottery and pray!

ok..that's one hour give or take a few mins and the clock face dial has made just over one complete rotation from just keeping the pilot light going. Can I calculate consumption and cost based on that stat? Thanks

Tony I wouldn't say serious issues....loft fully insulated, draughtproofing round all windows and doors. I've even got chimney balloons in the fireplaces! True, I do have 80% crittals though unfortunately. Replacing the windows would be seriously expensive (I was quoted £2k just for the...

OK...half an hour in and the clock face-type dial (on the right) has now rotated 180 degs and is pointing at the '.1' position (i.e. the first mark after the 12 o'clock position). Pic added for completeness: Can anyone tell me how the clock face dial relates to the numbered dials?
