Thank you.

Many thanks to everyone. We plan to have the bathroom completely re-done sometime next year (hopefully) - we will get someone to do it. I don't want to create more work/problems, just to 're-fresh' and get rid of mouldy wallpaper. One last question, shall i use some kind of filler to patch up...

Hi the wallpaper in our bathroom is peeling off and there are some signs/spots of mould so i'd like to take the wallpaper off and paint the bathroom walls. I've never done any decorating before, so have a few questions (apologies if they might sound silly) and would really appreciate any...

Hi i've tried mixing 2 different colors of spirit based wood dye (medium oak and golden pine, same make) but when i mix 2 in a container, some of it turns into 'jelly'. Does anyone know why it's happening? should be happening? i want to dye some oak. Many thanks for you help.

Thanks, i didn't know that. we got bill last week, estimated which was over £4oo, still waiting to receive a correct bill. didn't know that they have two different tariffs. Thanks a lot to everyone for your help, sorry if i wasted your time. At least we established the we need to do something...

maybe i did my calculations wrong, i thought that 4oo m3 is about 44oo kwh, and it's about 6.95 pence per kwh i think, but i might be completely wrong here. if so , that would be a great news. i'll need to check. thanks for pointing that out. Also, thanks to everyone who pointed out the...

Loft insulation is now on our list to do, also replacing the back door, hopefully it will help to keep the heat in. hot water temp. on boiler is set to..., hard to say, there is no proper scale, there is something like half circle, if you imagine scale from 1 to 10 on it, where 1 is the lowest...

last 2 weeks of Feb and last 2 weeks of March. heating was off first 2 weeks of march as we were away.

..and boiler hasn't got any other frost protection

The walls are solid, loft has some insulation but don't know how much, so let's assume the minimum. house is not that big, about 120-130 m2. i've tried that Sedbuk Boiler Calculator, i got 17.8, hopefully i've done it correctly. does it sound right? windows are double glazed upvc. when the...

Hi, by 'Measure the gas consumption for ONE hour during the heating time but AFTER the house it up to temperature' - are you saying that i should heat up the house to lets say 18C and when the thermostat will turn off, i should turn it back on for 1 hour and measure how much it uses? sorry...

Many thanks for your responses. House is insulated but now that i think there is no heating in the kitchen with a back door to the garden, and loads of cold air gets through that door. The thermostat is honeywell. temp during the day when the heating is not on is usually on 15C, will try to...

it's potertton puma 80e thank you

Hi, the question is - how much of m3 of gas should boiler burn in 1 hour when it's on? looks like we used over 4oo m3 of gas in 4-5 weeks (approx 45oo kwh - if that's correct) . We checked the meter this morning and it looks like it's about 2 m3/per hour. we have a combination boiler...

Sorry for the delay in responding, i had no access to internet. well, after more than 2 months we have hot water again and CT is working as well. We called BG and complained so they told us to contact Potterton and arrange for an engineer to come and have a look at our boiler. The first guy...
