Saying that i could also get one that is off the floor. It's an option but what i want is no pipes coming up through the floor regardless of type of radiator so i can get some nice skirting in without having to cut it to make way for those pipes. How to i go about this with the info above?

The Victorian ones look nice but look even harder to install.

Thanks for your reply and advice. I'm not too keen on the pipes up from the floor look though. So if i was going the route of running the pipes up and out of the wall, would i have to take all tiles up or could i take those around the radiator? The floor boards are not really individual boards...

Hello, Our bathroom radiator is a pain. We suspect the extractor fan isn't working in there and the bathroom is damp causing some issues with anything metal. The Radiator paint is peeling off and rusting, and there is a very slow but very real leak coming from one of the pipes. I think this is...

Hi, I've finally gone an laid artificial turf. It's almost done just got a couple of things to finish off. One of them being brushing the grass to get all the fibers to stand up. I've stared this with a pretty sturdy brush but I've seen them using a power broom in videos. For the life of me i...

Thanks for all the replies guys. Glad i didn't just cut the plug and connect it!

It is gas, indeed. So better to connect to something like this: http://www.diy.com/departments/mk-13a-1-gang-white-unswitched-socket/262236_BQ.prd and then to just plug as normal?

While fixing some incorrectly labeled sockets today in my kitchen, i am also moving my cooker to it's correct cooker socket which has it's own breaker in the Consumer Unit. I remembered why we never connected it to that a few years ago because it seemed to be a blank plate and i had a 3 pin...

Just damp behind the toliet, but all metal is rusting rapid. I put a new bathroom cabinet in and the handles of that rusted very quickly. The heating is never really on in there anyway. I think towel radiators look nicer.

Well it's there and looking awful. I've never liked it even when it was new. Towel radiator would look better IMO. So is my best bet to find a radiator matching the distance width of the pipes then?

I'll take the one off the wall in the kitchen tomorrow and see what that is like. Back to the Radiator though. Do i have to rip up the floor to plum it in, or can i use the existing pipes coming up there?

How can i test the vent? It's a Pasivent. Attached a picture. I've the same one in the kitchen and there is a switch in there that says ''Fan'' and ''Boost'' I've not seen another switch in this house for the bathroom. I had this off at the weekend when i was putting in some recessed lights...

Hello, My house is about 3-4 years old. Our Toilet seems very damp and it's caused the paint to come off the radiator among other things. I'm not sure if the vent doesn't work, or we should be opening the window when we have a shower. Anyway, i'm in the process of doing the toilet up a bit and...

2 years ago the neighbors bought a shed that left the a part of my garden in shade and with the grass already having extremely poor drainage, moss had a field day. So last summer i bought a shed and decked over the small area to put it on. At the end of that project i noticed that the entrance...
