Many thanks for your reply, it is certainly food for thought.
The second layer that you suggest is a worry - head height is critical and I really need to maximise what we have.
I completely understand what you mean about insulating from the vertical walls to external walls - I actually...
Hi chaps, I'm in the process of planning the conversion of my roof space into a bedroom, however I'm confused as to the best way to provide adequate insulation.
The house is a large Victorian mid terrace. The attic space has always had a staircase to it, and has floor boards running the...
Hi guys, the previous owner of our house painted the garden fence in a Cuprinol Garden Shades colour. The colour isn't really to our liking so I have trued to paint over it with some Ronseal Once Coat Fence Life in a dark wood colour. I've done one panel 3 times and the green Cuprinol colour is...

Hi, I'm fairly sure it is a new problem. We used the room 12 months ago when we moved in but we have recently renovated the loft space and noticed the problem when we turned the radiator back on. Could excessive dust etc cause the problem you described with the pin?
Thanks for your help!
Hi guys, this is my first post on DIYnot. I'm a total novice so I hope you'll be kind on me!
I have a few questions I hope someone may be able to answer, all concerning a radiator in my attic room.
The radiator has a TRV fitted to it but it seemingly either kicks out full heat, or no heat...
