    Adding leak sealer to towel radiator

    Had an engineer in recently for a boiler service (Grant Vortex Pro Combi 26E) and discussed the pressure loss. He checked what he could without finding a problem. I thought I'd try this before having to take up all floorboards, which I'd like to avoid.

    Adding leak sealer to towel radiator

    Hi everyone, I have 500ml Fernox F4 that I want to add to my system. Having taken a look online it seems adding it to the bathroom towel radiator is a straightforward way of doing that.

    Septic tank soakaway problems...

    Hi, the tank, although old, seems to be ok and the problem just seems to be the soakaway. It seems that the soakaway pipe(s) are only about 1 feet under the soil so I guess I might just have a dig to see what it looks like. If anyone knows how easy (or not) it is to install my own new soakaway...

    Septic tank soakaway problems...

    Hi, Just moved into a house in Scotland thats over 100 years old that always seems to have had a septic tank. We had it emptied when we moved in but the guy said the soakaway pipe seemed to be blocked. We had someone come out to jet it clear but he could only jet down the pipe about 2 feet...

    What is this under my carpet?

    Hi, yes thats about the thickness, and the material is actually like the material you would get in a padded envelope if you tore it open, that fibrousy padding. Thank you.

    What is this under my carpet?

    hi. I've lifted carpets to find soft grey material stuck to the hardwood floorboards with what looks like tar. Does anyone know what this is and why it was used. It's only in one room in the house. Thank you.
