Thanks Ken, I hadn’t even noticed that metal strap truth be told but that does all make sense as my back is against a gable wall in that pic. I’ll leave it all in place then I don’t want to interfere with the integrity of any of it. I can just board the collar ties either side of the wood...

Hi, I have collar ties on my loft with a decent amount of space above so was hoping I could board them and use for light to medium weight storage. Is this ok? I don’t want to risk putting weight where it shouldn’t be. There’s also 2 thin strips of wood joining the tops of the collar ties, o...

Is it possible to put loft boards on the area shown in the picture? (Are these collar ties?) Won’t have anything heavy on it mostly boxed of baby clothes and the odd box of light electricals. There’s currently 2 thin strips of wood running the length of the centre, it’s very thin and I’m...

Loft

Great thanks

Thanks for your help I will do that. With regards to the mud that’s most likely in the tank would it be worth my time cleaning that out in your opinion?

Thanks for replying, haven’t been able to get up in the loft yet but thanks for the info. I don’t think there is a bottle up there but I could probably find out from the plumber that did it which type he used. I’m guessing I’d need to top it up due to the new water going in? Will there be any...

Thanks for replying. The tank in loft is barely a tank at all, I’d say about 600mm long x 400 deep x 400 high approx. The lid on it is loose it’s not sealed in anyway. I’m pretty sure a while back when I had a boiler issue some inhibitor was added to the system in this tank. With regards to the...

I’m going to be replacing 2 towel radiators like for like and have an ideal Icos HE12 condensing boiler with a megaflo cylinder and tank in loft. I’m aware of what I need to do to change radiators but don’t know how to replace the water that will be lost from the 2 old towel radiators as not...

Thanks for your help, I’m sure it is a sealed system. My main issue is I have no idea how to repressurise the system.

Hi, I’m planning on replacing a towel radiator (like for like size) and had a few questions I’m hoping someone could help me out with. I plan to isolate the rad at the valves at the base of the rad, drain it into a bucket (using the bleed valve to release all the water), install and connect...
