Hi. We have this vertical support on our house that is rotting at the bottom. Any ideas for a sensible repair for this? Either DIY, or what I should be enquiring after in the trade? It seems like it would be hard to replace as-is. A replacement might have to be two-piece, with some kind of...

Just a curiosity really. I saw some people doing a flooring job in an old house that is now an office. On the third floor, they put plywood down, then screed, then adhesive for carpet tiles (or could be vinyl.. I didn't see the final layer). It just struck me that sometimes you need to get...

Thank you Jeds. I think you're right, and it is what I was thinking too. It's a shame when people don't care about the quality of the work though!

Hi everyone. I wondered if I could get people's thoughts on this? Level of urgency, worry, etc. ? :) I apologise for the wobbliness of the loft-videos (the last 3), but I think you can begin to make stuff out in the 3rd video.

Think there may just be a simple language barrier here, but thanks all the same.

So I guess that the flow lines (denoted with the arrows) can be flipped by unscrewing the fitting, so that the rad inlet can be moved? I'm going to buy some more stuff then..

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

Yep it's the last photo in my post above. As I say, it looks like Pegler do the only matching one. The model Screwfix have called a Pegler VB1390/4P looks like the same style.

The TRV head is in-line with the radiator output. They're usually 90 degrees to eachother aren't they?

Yes you're correct. They're certainly Danfoss anyway. Oh by the way, I found that Drayton are selling the body-only, to go with the Wiser heads. The plastic cap on them made me mistake them for locksheild valves. So they are suitable for almost all of my radiators except for the horizontal-head...

We seems to have a right old mix. There's a bulldog one in one room that looks like it might have leaked some of its liquid. That one has a button rather than a pin internally. We have various Westherm Fours. One of which seem to be on what looks like 10mm pipe instead of the 15mm elsewhere in...

In the house we've moved in to, I'm trying to get to grips with the heating system and some issues with heat from radiators in a downstairs room (almost like cellar level, but it's not, it's just that the house is on a hill so theres a room down there). Anyway to cut to the chase, my question...

It does seem to be correct. The meter readings are correct. Also the tarriff comparison websites say I'm getting a good deal with this supplier (igloo)

We did do that just before, although my computer and 3 screens, internet router, modem, wifi access point, speakers, and stuff generally on standby was still on. Got down to 1.6A which seemed OK.
