Hi all I was watching tele and a cold droplet of water landed on my bald head. And when I looked up, I could see on the ceiling a wet patch :(. I went upstairs, removed the carpet and floor board and could see water might be dripping from the tee (please see the picture attached). I got few...

Hi there I have an open vented CH system with the two water tanks in the loft (one big and one small F&E). Can I replace the diverter valve by putting the bungs to the two pipes (one inside the small tank and one pointing towards the tank)? I just dont want to drain the whole system down as...

Thanks everyone. Its all working now after I’ve followed the instructions you guys provided. Many thanks

Please see the wiring that ive done so far (please note that earth sleeve not added at the moment and will be added once i have them delivered). on the existing light i have marked the new cable with the black lines. With this configuration, the new light is not coming on. Could you please have...

Thanks for that. Also, would like to confirm the wiring before I attempt it. So i want to add extra light in the room and use the exisitng switch ie both light to turn off or on at the same time. I want to know the configuration of the wires from exisitn light to the new light. So do i need to...

Thanks Rob for your help. I have now decided to bleed the system and replace the valves itself. One more question: I believe i got lock shield on both sides (please see the pics attached of the valves from both sides). Can I replace one of them with a TRV? And where should it go? I cant find...

Thats the valve on old radiator

Please see the pics attached. The second picture is with the nut thats used for a 15mm thread and its small (just to show that the threads are bigger than 15mm)

Thanks Rob. I have looked in metric sizes and 1fter 1600 its the 1800mm one. And my current one is around 1770mm. So, I was assuming htat I have to choose the smaller one as I dont want to move the pipe work. Do you think I can fit 1800?

Hi All I am replacing an old radiator and TRV has a male thread of 3/4 and ofcourse the new radiator is 15mm. -Could you please tell me what connectors I need as I dont want to change the TRV? -Also, since the new radiator is replacing the old imperial one, the gap is 90mm on each side. Which...

If i go for 1600mm rad that means that I will need 90mm extension on each side roughly (if my calc are rite that is). What size extension do you recommend?

Hi all I have to change my old rad but the size is roughly 1778mm and in metric I can get 1600mm or 1800mm. Could you please tell me which size should I go for? There are few websites offering rads with 1700mm but those are very expensive. Thank you
