Got it in one, that's exactly what we want to do as we had a problem with damp last year.

Thanks all, radiator in question is this one:

Hi all, Built a conservatory last year & already have a towel type radiator to go in there, but need some advice on how to plumb it in. I suspect it is like this: There is obviously a wall between the two I will need to drill through & a height difference to take into account but I can...

Cool, will get a normal GU10 & try that & then go from there i think.

Ours dont have a spring that hold the lamp in place, they have a metal insert, same as here: http://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/644359-gu10-230v-aluminium-fire-rated-fixed-downlight-satin-nickel?q=gu10

No idea to be honest, in the office at the mo, but when I looked this morning I couldn't really see any names, all I know is they came from City Electrical Factors. Thek look like these, but longer, or maybe it's just a bad pic...

So I dropped one out of the ceiling this morning & there doesn’t appear to be anything special about them at all. The outer case they sit in is a fairly thick metal unit presumably there to stop heat transference. I reckon if I disconnect them so the basket & GU10 mount is free I can probably...

Might drop one of the lights from the ceiling & take some more pics

Yep, liking your thinking as I have to admit the energy saving bulbs don't seem to last nearly as long as the others.

That would make sense to be honest as my best mate did all the electrics in the place & used City Electrical Factors for everything we needed, may have to pop along to them & buy a job lot!

Hi all, So when we built our house we had to have a certain amount that were low energy but over time as these have blown & i've replaced like for like & they were available cheap at Asda but alas no more. If I can find them for sale now they seem to be expensive, so is there an alternative...

Lol, yeah it does look like that doesnt it!! No I ripped up the decking around it, put foundations in & since we did the brickwork i've then put the decking back down. When we built the house we put the decking in & it's all tied into the house & inside the conservatory it seemed silly to rip...

Hi all, I did post this elsewhere on this site but maybe here is a better place. I’m building a lean to conservatory that is 5330mm wide x 2710mm deep & to date I’ve done the foundations, brickwork, all windows etc & now need to make it watertight with a roof. I have all of the wood to create...

Far to expensive to be honest, seems to be cheaper to order online. Main purpose of my post was to see if I have listed enough materials for the job.

Hi all, First post so go easy on me!! I’m building a lean to conservatory that is 5330mm wide x 2710mm deep & to date I’ve done the foundations, brickwork, all windows etc & now need to make it watertight with a roof. I have all of the wood to create the rafters & hopefully this is where you...
