I went for a 8mm 10 metre rubber hose. I'm wondering if I should of have went for a 10mm internal diameter instead

Thanks guys this is helpful. I'm planning on adding another tank to get to 150 litres. Can someone perhaps suggest an air hammer?

Just bought an air compressor for general tasks with cars. Was told this unit (in the link below) is powerful and will run an air hammer, air and high torque impact gun. What I would like to know is how to make the machine quieter and what to look at when pairing tools? I want a strong air...

So all clear to drill holes into it I suppose. Any precautions recommended?

So I hear that paint sometimes has asbestos, the brick is coated in white paint but seems a very thin layer and probably done in the last 20 years MAX. I take if the brick was to be made fire retardent, it 2oukd be a coating in the brick and not the brick itself?

Hi, looking to drill into red brick that's probably been there for around 50 years. The brick is in a garage. Should I be worried about asbestos and if so, any tips?

It's never so simple is it, will be getting a new fan soon

So waiting for engineer to come along and fit fan, but in the meantime Ive been recommended a Keston boiler. Any ideas on this?

The fan works intermittently so think I should just purchase the fan and get it replaced by a specialist then?

Ito be honest I thought because of age, and because the heating engineer said its hard to get hold of parts. If this isn't the case then Im in no hurry to replace the boiler at all.

Yes but really don't want that.

Do you know if we can get parts for these boilers?? Will try boxt actually

So my potterton 155x seems to be nearing the end of its life and thus needs to be replaced. Things are tight just now and would like to get a boiler on finance. Please advise on companies I should look to for fitting etc and what I should replace with - i.e. Gas or electric? Apparently my flue...

Just a quick question, is it at all possible to find pipes under a floor? My neighbour downstairs is complaining about a leak and I really dont want to rip up the entire floor as I'm pretty sure there are no pipes under the bathroom floor. The pipes all run above the floor (visibly).

Thanks for that.
