The cost vs benefit ratio isn't a factor, as I believe I might be eligible for government funding, as they do with cavity wall insulation - I'll have to undergo a survey first. Also, regarding space I don't see myself using it as storage, as I have a garage for that :)

The flooring appears to be professionally laid and would be a fairly large task for me to undo. I'm looking for the quickest gains at minimal time/expense - would it work just as well to layer over the top with 270mm insulation, leaving some space for access to things like the loft ariel? I'm...

I have this exact same issue. I have the newer pcb kit installed, and the orange light will flash, then every 10min or so it will fire for 30s, then stop. I have reason to believe its the pcb since if I turn off the boiler for a good amount of time (for cooldown), it works fine for a few days...

Hi, I moved into a 3 storey Bovis house, built around 2000. The two rooms in the loft area (purpose built) have been extremely cold this winter, so much so that I can feel drafts when upstairs. I checked the loft itself (the top most part of the rooms) and from what I can see, it looks like...

thanks. I'll have another go at this tonight. Is it at all possible that that retaining plate on the inside could be preventing it from releasing? The handle and the cylinder mechanism are made by a uk firm called avantis, checked their website but cant find anything relating to uk standards or...

I managed to remove one lock with ease, but on a different door the cylinder wont fully come out. Using the key at a slight angle does allow the cylinder to retract by about 5mm but no further - as if something is preventing it from moving further out. Any ideas? I took the handle off and it...

hi, any further advice on what parts i may need? thanks

any idea on what other parts i'll need? I will be ordering a 10mm 90degree push fit elbow, a 10mm insert from screwfix. Anything else I might need?

hi all, looking for some advice on a leaking 90degree push fit connector under the bathroom sink for the cold water tap. Its a slow dripping leak and I've tried to hand tighten them with various results, sometime slowing the leak but it still remains. I believe the leak is either on the upper...
