hi, I hired some builder to create an extension. Now thinking of build a small patio. One thing is that the extension's floor is much higher than the ground. So I am wondering could I just lay the hardcore, sand and then patio directly on the ground? Then I can just build some steps for the door...

hi, My room thermostat is suddently showing A21 error, according to the manual, A21 fault code indicates no RF signal. But I can't find steps to solve this (I tried to restart the thermostat). Is there a switch on the boiler to turn on/off RF singal or could this be a battery issue? (unlikely I...

Hi, Can you recommend a wall mounted electric heater? Base on what you guys saying, seems anything with an accurate Thermostat, 7 Day Timer and Anti Frost Function should do the trick. I checked on amazon, seems any wall mounted heater with oil or gel are costing more than 200£. Then a normal...

Interestingly, I talked with my neighbour, who had the same wall heater (as it comes with the flat) and then replaced with an oil based heater. He said his electricity bill is indeed better now and said I should throw my heater away.

Hi, I got a normal electric heater (not storage heater) and my place doesn't have gas pipe. Yesterday I got a builder to fix something and we chatted how expensive my heater's running cost is. He think I should replace it with a new gel heater, as: 1. new heater's thermostat are much more...

Hi, Somehow my window can't close properly. I looked at the hinges and seems they are not broken. But somehow it got stuck why I try to close it. I asked a windows guy and he said i have to replace the whole window. Is it really the case I have to replace the whole window? I attached some photos...

thanks, regarding to thermal membrane, can't I just install a passive vent on the wall? think it is much cheaper that way

Hi, if helps anyone, Elnur sent me a check list which was extremely helpful. With that doc, I worked out that there is nothing wrong with the heater, instead the socket switch on the wall is broken.

Hi, I got some mould issue on the wall and this is what I did: 1. cleaned the mould with anti mould spray 2. painted the area with THOMPSONS ONE COAT DAMP SEAL. (https://www.screwfix.com/p/thompsons-one-coat-damp-seal-white-750ml/38631) After the paint is dry, can I paint it over with normal...

Hi, I have an Elnur SH24A storage heater (around 1-2 year old). The heater is not working (cold) and I am hoping that it is just a Thermostat overheat safety cutout. However, I can't really find a reset button (unlike the dimplex, which the reset is quite obvious). The only sort of switch I can...

Turned out the install manual is wrong. The manual says : N L 1 2 3 4 as the connectors, but it should be 4 3 2 1 N L !!!!!!!

My guess is that my connector (the choc box) may not connect to the programmer properly? think I will grab some more advanced tool from work and play bit more.

Hi, it was 240, so should be ok.

Hi, I bought a salus ep 210 programmer and asked an electrician to fix it for me. He did all the wiring and at the end he told me that the programmer I bought seem to be faulty. He proved the point by directly connecting live and neutral to the programmer and indeed the LCD screen was not on at...

Thanks, I will check
