use "devimatt" elecctric underfloor heating-this is the best for the ease of installation/quality balance. 18mm wpb is part of the british standard for floor tiling on wooden surfaces in bathrooms, by the sound of it your floor is sound. use flexible tile adhesive. i've known for ufh to be...

byw law 30 has been changed to some other .... ****** i'm too ****ed (for once) to remember but in the merchants bye law 30 kit does the job every time

pedantinvicteveman today i found the following written on the back of my van "no time to talk got tanks to **** in and O.A.P.s to rip off" have you been sending out your minions??? as for O.A.Ps to rip off this week i did a pump change for an 80 yr old for less than a ton. hand on hips beaming...

firstly i'd be more worried about the electric side of things do you know what your doing? electricity and water are not a good mix heard of "part P building regs 2005"? when did mira tell you a compression elbow was illegal?

scandy what you trying to do? you can bung the cold feed of a cold water storage cistern (tank in loft) and then have minimal drain down be wary of valves in airing cupboard 1 probably feeds your hot water cylinder so leave that 1 alone (follow the pipes) both are probably shagged...

most probably caused by float operated valve rapidly opening and closing as the cistern fills causing humming which pipes etc amplify and transmit around the house. take valve apart and clean up any limescale / grit etc in there might solve it. If toilet fed from mains check that a flow...

did you try reading the instructions?? To get the best result you should have drained down first then refilled plus sludge remover but as you didnt-run it for up to a week ,drain back down refill plus inhibitor and if your lucky some/most/all (delete as you will) of the sludge will be removed

put a hose on your kitchen tap and fix it to a cold tap fed from the storage tank. open both taps this needs 2 or more people 1 to watch in the loft and shout if the storage tank starts to fill 1 or more to operate the taps the mains pressure should blow the air back through the system to th...

electric systems far easier and cheaper to install. running costs wet systems are probably cheaper at the moment but for how much longer who knows, both systems are reliable if installed properly. moost companies will design specifically for your floor plan if you ask them nicely

don't touch wooden flooring usually but her indoors has decided we are having it in our dining room ( i'd much rather tile it myself) though will be getting solid stuff. I cant STAND the edging beading you usuually see with these floors and i don't want to take of the skirting boards to hide the...

i'm sure you'll find it on plenty of other posts but just in case make sure you board the floor first with 18mm WPB from memory you need that for the devi warranty have fitted devi mat quite a few times and can recomend it. Assuming this is a bathroom so look at threads on the electrics forum...

:D always wise to know your own limitations. if going for a pro then get it powerflushed prices for that are all over the place have heard of £450 being charged so shop around. as for the service you'd be looking in the region of £90

The quickest way to clear sludge is to have your system powerflushed. You could hire a machine yourself for about £50 and diy but really you need to have had some trainning in how to do it. Expect £250 upwards for a pro to do it. haven't read your previous thread but personally I dont like...

:cry: :cry: it will all end in tears wouldnt trust the work as described not if you want to sleep at night :!: undo it again and put silicone sealant on both the underside and the bath side of the waste,re- tighten the screw (carefully its easy to break cheap wastes) then wipe away excess...
