I have debated installing loft insulation......
My house is a 4 bed detached and i pay £100 per month for gas and electric. Joists are 70mm so putting insulation in between joists is futile and impossible as thinnest width i can find is 100mm. And i am not stupid enough to start raising...
Hi Guys,
I have a MIRA GO Power Shower installed in a downstairs bathroom.
Due to poor pressure upstairs I am contemplating fitting an unvented cylinder to pressurise the whole system.
Does anyone know if any of the MIRA Shower Mixers match the plumbing required for the MIRA Power Showers...
Don't know if you resolved this but resistor is located on the blower itself, in passenger footwell.
The resistors are a FIAT only part and are not cheap to buy. What I discovered was that the wires and connectors joining to the resistor (with a clip) had actually melted. I therefore...
The house I have moved into has 2 MIRA shower pumps to feed 2 separate showers.
I am now looking to install a shower pump as the bathroom pressure (excluding the MIRA shower) is poor! I also don't currently have a bath but will be installing one so want this to fill quickly.
I have considered...
Thanks for your comment Flameport but I am finding that less and less of the taps that I like are low pressure ones.
Also, filling a bath will take ages even if I did have low pressure taps.
I had the same system at my previous house with low pressure taps. It was painful......
Hi Muggles,
Thanks for your advice.....most appreciated.
Your answer makes sense and I should do it properly, which I agree is Option 3!
With reference to my diagram, would the 22mm part of the surrey flange (i.e. the bit which could still capture air) just be connected up to the existing...
Hi All,
Recently moved into a new house which does not have a Bath and has really poor hot water pressure upstairs. The system is gravity fed and the issue arises because of the minimal head between the cold water tanks (in the loft) and the HW Cylinder/taps upstairs.
Will be re-doing the...
Thanks Both.
Putting back the old toilet is NOT an option. Another S trap toilet doesn't give me much choice, plus I want the toilet to sit further back so I have more room....I don't want much now do I lol
I think I am going to cut the clay pipe about 30cm underground by first breaking...
Hi,
I have a late 70's house and I would like to replace the OLD downstairs toilet. The original toilet protrudes into the room a lot and doesn't look great so I removed it.
I have a clay soil pipe that drops down vertically for over 1 metre but is a staggering 36cm (centre) from the...
Correct, I have channeled the concrete and will build a box to surround the pipes and put this in the channel.
Yes, channeling tight to a wall.
I have sampled this by mixing some adhseive and sticking a small tile to the board both with and without sealant.
In both instances it has...
Hi,
I am moving a radiator and so need to run some additional pipework under the concrete floor (existing pipes in the concrete).
I want to box in these pipes and have brought some timber to do this (19mm * 100mm). I was wondering would I be able to tile on top of this timber if I prime...
Hi,
I have a closed system with a condensing boiler and pressure vessel in the loft.
I would like to change one radiator now (including valves) and then all the rest individually as I decorate the respective bedrooms.
Am I correct in thinking that any inhibitor has to be injected into...
Hi everyone,
I have ripped up some tiles in my kitchen and this has pulled up the bitumen layer underneath in some places. Under the bitumen is a very sandy screed.
Whats best to patch up these areas? Can I just buy bitumen paint and do I have to seal the concrete first?
Also, when I...
