Thanks for the help. My plumber has advised getting a new pump installed as he reckons this 1 isn't working or is very old I can't remember but we haven't looked into it too much due to many things on my list that need updated with my house. So he said i had 3 zones, when I updated my kitchen...

This is the hotpress, this is the pump I think needs replaced if it's any help? I've got the heating on now and it's all warm to the touch. (Oil fired boiler) The pump is hooked up but think the plumber said he doesn't think it's doing anything it's probably over 30 years old. Not entirely...

So I'm not exactly sure as I'm not a plumber but all I know at the moment is I fire on the heating and it heats my hot water as well as my radiators, just an on and off switch. Something I've wanted to change my plumber suggested motorised valves but I haven't been able to gather the spare...

Reading online it's saying they can be dangerous? I have an oil fired boiler in the garage which heats water had radiators at the same time, there are no valves to stop it heating the water its on my long list of things to install over time when money allows. So what are my options in terms of...

Hi I live in NI. I have a timber frame house which I bought 4 years ago. The old owner had a marble fireplace with an electric fire insert which I could lift out by hand. The house is oil fired central heating. I've sold the fireplace and wanted to open up the old open fire again. It has a...

In pure frustration and defeat I've ripped it off the wall to start fresh tomrorow. Can anyone offer advice in very simple terms where I measure to get my 1m line top and bottom and where i go from there? Do I start with my horizontal and mitre it to the angle then go up or do I do my vertical...

So I discovered which I didn't realise was the bottom of my rail is not 1m from top step I must of tried to leave room to cut away later. It's a bit up the rail, so I cut this at 21 degrees and it was almost right but a gap at the top of the mitre. Tried 23 and 24 and having the same issue. Do...

So 41 degrees is the angle ?

Thanks for that. So the angle I put the dado rail on must be wrong as I tried a 70 degree cut earlier and it was a fair bit off. How can I find the angle with it currently on the wall? I have a trend digital angle finder. My wife worked out the angles so she must of either worked it out wrong...

I've tried this they still don't seem to march up. They go up at a different angle to what my dado rail is. I'm really really stuck

Hi I'm trying to do wainscott paneling on my stairs and hallway and I cannot get thr end of the dado rail to meet and come straight. I've worked the angle out to about 53 degrees or there abouts, I've tired cuts on the mitre saw with a sacrificial fence and can't get it. Can anyone offer...

I've done some Roofing on my garage, refelted half way down as the old undersarking was falling away and added a dry ridge and cemented the verges but I'm not sure what I'm doing with this flashing there are so many options and I'm so confused. I cna get up to the roof easily and I have a...

I live in NI so things are generally a bit cheaper here than UK. It's not expensive, it's just expensive to me as I don't have a lot of money hence trying to DIY everything. It will be a couple of months before I can afford it.

Hi folks. Posted a while back about the flashing on my garage roof which is split and leaking. It's an oil fired boiler flue. I've tried to seal it up with gutter sealant which worked temporarily but after a few heat cycles it goes again. Some forum users gave great suggestions on replacing...
