Great news, ask for a honeywell cm907/927 room thermostat rather a standard honeywell one, these slightly extra costs benefit you in the long term and if your getting a 250-300 litre hot water tank ask him if u can get a twin coil model future prolong yourself if you decide on solar panels in...

You can mole instead of digging driveways up instead, it is what we would usually do to avoid disturbance but you would know about if you were involved in gas utilities. Worcester Bosch are not the be all and end all, they have clever marketing like Apple which makes everyone think they are...

One other major thing you may want to consider which wouldn't be much of a hassle if you having to upgrade your water supply is installing one or more secondary returns set on a single channel programmer to give you pretty much instant hot water at your furthest taps. Before I left the UK I had...

I can't help you there I'm afraid, one I used to live on the south coast and two I'm backpacking round se Asia at the moment and living in Australia. Can answer any questions but think these guys have it sorted it seems!

If its what I am thinking of on hans grohe flowstar traps we were supplied with rubber adapters with jubilee clips either end made by osma, this was 5 years ago though

This man is 100% spot in what he says. Unfortunately you are in a predicament of the blind leading the blind. Although the outlay for installing a standalone boiler and unvented cylinder is more than a combination boiler the benefits massively out weigh that long term. Think when your little one...

If u want a van that will take what ever **** you want give it choose a sprinter, may cost more to buy but look at what a day off work costs for repairs, if u can afford it get the v5 or v6 turbo diesels cheaper to run with a loaded van.

Would you recommend the BAL training courses at all?

It was a combination of things that made it not stick, I was using Bal Wall and floor powder but stupidly added a little pva, the thickness of it was probably not enough either as I said in the original post I had only used a normal trowel so didn't have any ridges in it. We did not tank in...

Cheers guys, well got there this morning and the Homelux matting had not stuck at all so didnt bother with it in the end. Bought some Bal APD on the way and just sealed the walls using that. I was not so conviced that hanging tiles on this matting stuff was a good idea as the matting...

I am a plumber by trade but am tiling my friends bathroom this weekend and wanted to get it right. 1. We asked Topps tiles for a membrane to seal the walls, I have only seen a product that you paint on applied before but they recommended Homelux membrane so we have that. It says on the...

1. Don't know about this, only seen it coming off manifolds, can you not do this instead? 2. Most merchants have them in, if you can't find them think BES do them. 3. Yes I believe so with plastic 10mm, I thought it was arse the first time i saw it but thinking it isn't so bad now.

Don't call an electrician, they usually don't have a clue about wiring central heating systems and make an absolute mess of it, especially annoying for fault finding! Call a decent heating engineer, get them to put in an LWC1 wiring centre and job done!

wanna get yourself a Honeywell wiring guide which has all the motorised valves and what each colour corresponds to, will look in the morning if I remember

The thing I have found with BG guys is if they are one of the good bunch they can fix your problem quite quickly and competently. Why shouldn't they when the company backs them up with millions of pounds of investment in the industry and years of experience. The problem seems to be the...
