Executive summary: Is there a minimal gap which I should leave between my resin shower tray and my floor tiles? Do I need to allow for thermal expansion for example? I'm having the devil of a time sorting out my shower tray and in retrospect a should have done things in a different order...

Executive Summary: Are there two different sizes of solvent weld, 22mm and 21.5mm and if so how do I join them? Hello, My cold water tank relocation project is going well, and has now reached the final stage of reconnecting the overflow pipe which seems to be made of the normal white PVC...

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. The document from MII is particularly useful and I have been reading it carefully. I particularly note on page 31 where is says "The standard 230 litre water tank is usually supported over three individual trusses." This more or less reinforces what I...

Summary: Is there anything wrong with my plans to move my cold tank? Is there anything I could do better? The cold tank is located right in the middle of my new loft on what seems to me to be a ridiculously over engineered structure. I propose to move it to one side so as to create more...

Just a followup to say that I have had the thermostat replaced and it seems to have completely cured the problem. Thanks

I have now turned the stat down to 1 and it seems to have fixed the problem for now. The pipe coming out of the pump still gets very hot, and I nearly burnt myself on it yesterday. I can't think that it should get that hot when only set to 1. Sadly, I don't have any way to measure the exact...

Thanks for the reply. We were already thinking about possibly having a Bosch, so we will take a closer look at them. I spent some time trying to get the old Philips bearing off of the shaft, but it is badly rusted. Anyway, I had already agreed with her indoors that if it packed in again she...

Summary - Which washing machine manufacturers have good spare parts availability? My 30 year old Philips washing machine has finally given up the ghost. The cost and hassle of trying the replace the rusted main bearing doesn't seem worth it, even though it does seem possible to still get the...

My CH system has TRVs with a fixed (ie gatevalve) bypass loop. I am looking to fit an automatic bypass valve and have been checking what Screwfix have to offer. Sure enough, they sell a suitable valve for £24.99. However, they also sell something called a "Differential pressure valve" for...

Thanks for your prompt reply. The fan is now working just fine.

Hi, I have a Greenwood bathroom fan with a timer. The 3 terminals are labeled L, N and L1. Amazingly, the manual doesn't explain how to wire it up! If they were labeled L, N and SL then I could cope. Am I correct to assume that L1 = SL? Thanks
