Thank you both for your replies, great detail JobandKnock and makes a lot of sense. Thing that bothers me is when they offer the cutting service on the website and then say they don't even without knowing I'm not trade! Anyway, hopefully found a solution...Avon Plywood have said they will...

Hi, I'm trying to find somewhere that will supply me 15mm egger ferrara oak mfc in the Bristol area. Ideally I'd also like it cut so that its 2000 x 14000. I've tried lathams but they don't have cutting on site and they only have 18mm. I've tried Panel Co but despite their website saying...

Hi all, We have original wooden floorboards in our lounge (victorian terrace) and our old cat has peed in the corner which has leaked through to the joists and the void underneath into the earthy/ rubble stuff. I've thrown one floorboard away and have treated the surrounding area with all...

I think I probably didn't give enough information in the original question first time round but suffice to say condesation won't be an issue. Thanks for the advice

thanks but there's not much hot air down there so shouldn't need to worry. The room was originally a bathroom but I moved the bath/ shower upstairs so now it's just a (at the moment very cold!) utility room with a washing machine and wc. thanks

ok thanks, should be ok then but just to be clear, the luminiere will be approx 35mm from the metal side of the fireguard

I have a downstairs bathroom extension with halogen downlights fitted by the previous owner. There is a lot of heat lost out/ cold air let in through the roof cavity and I want to lay more insulation so I've bought some fireguards from screwfix...

I've got an ecotec plus 831 combi boiler - about 5 years old I think - that has developed a nasty clunking noise either when the on demand hot water is on or at other random times (CH is fully off at the moment) which I think is when it's keeping the temp constant. Before I start dismantling...

ok just seen the ladder definition. I thought the system was in series. ladder analogy makes it a lot clearer! thanks

ok thanks guys! so I WON'T touch the dump valve :oops: hmm interesting tho as a couple of engineers have both used that to drain the boiler when doing other work on it (fitting replacement pressure sensor see //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=160809) Also where someone recommends...

thanks dude

wow thanks for the quick responses guys! ok, so I won't bother isolating the CH. I thought I could do that in case I needed/ wanted to use hot water while I'm doing this. So just switch off entirely instead. Sorry Bengasman, I knew I'd get the terminology wrong...I meant the radiator in...

On #2 of the FAQ: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37170 it mentions that it is How do you ensure this? Also, I had a problem back in Feb this year with the expansion vessel: //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=166428 I should have posted the fix but never got...

Hi, I need to replace a couple of radiator valves and want to check on the steps I need to do for draining and refilling the system. I've done a bit of research but want to double-check. On my lowest placed rad (towel rail style if relevant) which is also installed as a 'stub' off the main...

I've had a look at the expansion vessel and when I take the cap off the valve, there's a slight hissing noise coming from the valve which seems to indicate a leak. This can't be normal can it? I imagine when the cap goes back on it bocks the leak but the cap's not going to be airtight.
