Hi I’m after some advise please. We recently had a new radiator fitted, we had a double panel one to replace a really old one. It was on the same wall but just moved slightly. When we turn it on the rad only heats at the top, less that a 3rd high heats up maybe 20% heats up at the top. The...

Hi I hope someone can help. I have recently had a gas Combi Boiler moved in my utility room as part of an extension. Its been moved a couple of meters, to another wall. Can some please tell me if I need a certificate from the engineer to say its been installed correctly. The building inspector...

Hi I got the first metal piece off from the first picture. But for this bit the manual says it’s all one piece so needs to come out together... I can’t get any descaler for a few days and it seems it’s may be a case of elbow grease! It’s frustrating as it looks like another piece should come...

Thanks for the advice! I have got it out! I now need to get what looks like the cartridge. It’s in a plastic case and the manual says I need to pull it out but it’s not moving and hard to get a grip on. It doesn’t look like you need to unscrew or use a spanner as there is no room for you to get...

Hi there. im looking at getting a flat roof extension and I can see that there are 2 options - warm or cold flat room. Can anyone please tell me if there are many differences between the 2 part from the way they are constructed. Is one better insulated than the other or would one be cheaper to...

Hi there. Im after some advise on a flat roof. I had a quote for an extension with a flat roof. The builder had quoted to fit Sarnafil 1.2mm lead grey PVC membrane single. The area of the roof is 4.4m x 5.5m and I was wondering if I would save cost by using 2 ply and does anyone have advise on...

Thanks Denso13!

Denso13, Sorry I should have been more clear. In most houses I see rads downstairs that have the pipes running upstairs through the ceiling is that makes sense? So in that case Im i correct assuming that the flow and return does not branch into 2? and is that a better setup than the one in my...
