I’m about to purchase a 4 bed detached house built around the 80’s that will require a full refurb and an extension for kitchen across the rear. I’m moving from a self build that I built 10 years ago with ufh. What’s everyone’s views on heating the new house, solar panels and all electric...

Some of the tiles look Ill fitting. Also the water comes down these tiles from a downpipe from the main top roof, would...

What’s the best thing to paint a decking that’ll last, I painted it before summer and it’s already coming off, it’s to the rear across the back of the whole house where x2 French doors open onto so has a bit of foot traffic and is approx 12m x 8m so is a large area cheers

This is the boiler

With the clock switched on the boiler never fires up even though all the stats are on and calling, i need to turn the boiler mode to rads to get it to fire up but the floor doenst feel like its getting warm
