Thanks. I was hoping a paint was available that could be brushed over the grout but didn’t matter if the tiles caught some paint as it could be wiped off. In other words, soaks into grout but doesn’t adhere to the shiny tile surface. I don’t think I’ve got a steady enough hand otherwise...

Thanks. Yes, I've seen them advertised. I'm hoping someone will have experience they can share of using any of the products out there.

Hi folks As the title suggests, we've had a new bathroom installed but the grout selected for the tiled areas is too light in colour. I've found when the grout is wet, the resulting darker colour, in my opinion, looks much more appealing. I've attached a photo - lighter dry grout visible...

Hi folks I realise there are past threads covering this but I'm still confused by the subject. In a nutshell, I moved into a property with a 35KW Glow Worm Combi boiler. My brother in law is able to obtain a very low priced 30KW Worcester 4000 Combi boiler. I'm tempted as my Glow Worm is...

By way of an update, perhaps for anyone searching the internet for solutions. In a small window of time I attempted to fit the part. On realising the olive was going to need more effort to remove than I’d hoped, I refit the cap and turned the water back on and planned to attempt another time...

Yes, I think so, although my plumbing knowledge is pretty much zero. I’ve had a kitchen sink and tap moved 4 feet along the kitchen, a dishwasher fitted, and final fit on an en suite bathroom with shower upstairs.

Aaaand my last question, is thread sealant necessary for this fitting?

Out of interest - is the shock arrestor you recommended more suitable or just a better product than the Pegler version?

Thanks very much for the swift response. And the process of installation, have I got that right?

Hi folks We've an issue following some recent plumbing work (involving two separate plumbers, so no responsibility taken by either!). Essentially, our boiler now kicks in for 10-20 seconds whenever the cold water shuts off (e.g. turning off cold water tap, every time the washing machine draws...

Great, thank you for advice and quick response!

Hello, realise there are a few posts related to this subject but want to double check my understanding with regards my specific system. I want to replace with a Google thermostat e heat link. The attached photo represents how mine is wired. My interpretation is the yellow wire is being used...

Hi folks I'm upgrading the radiator in my kitchen. Due to a lack of wall space I'm looking at a vertical triple column radiator, with a BTU over the required value I've calculated. The size of the kitchen is 4.6m long x 3.3m wide x 2.75m high (42 cubic metres). The house is a 19th century...

Hello, I was about to buy a vertical column radiator (1800x470) but have been warned to check if it has a flow diverter installed, as they otherwise struggle to heat properly (or take too long). The company has confirmed it does not come with said part installed (they don't even sell them) but...

Hello I live in a terraced house and our chimney needs to be repaired. The chimney is for our use only and always has been. It sits to the left of the house. One side of the chimney appears to be over the party wall boundary, i.e. on the neighbour’s side. They have their own chimney to the left...
