    It is more than 75% ...all the wiring is done, the inverter and meter fitted, the rails are ready for the last panels ....etc Basically it took them 12hrs to do the job...(they did hit another snag so it took longer than anticipated) Fitting the panels will take them an hour or so...

    Which Kitchen Floor, ideas please

    Sorry I should made that clear - I know what the instructions/guarantees say ..but after a year or so of faffing one day I tried mopping it and it was fine ..I guess I decided that a new easier to maintain floor would be preferable to one that I had to mess about with ... Same with the steam...

    Suspended Floor Insulation????

    Oh and radiator pipes - you can put them in the insulation if you can - or buy decent (class 0) pipe insulation for them (which is the route I took - and will take again) (Started an argument on here years ago about whether you should insulate microbore or not - argument being insulation...

    Suspended Floor Insulation????

    I've done this in my living room - stapled up loft roll with garden net - and I think it makes a difference... I am going to do the same in the house I'm renovating - but it only has a small crawl space so using kingspan (110mm) so it doesn't protrude under the joists too much and isn't such a...

    Which Kitchen Floor, ideas please

    Avoid ANY white kitchen floor like the plague ...unless someone else has to clean it, you don't have children/pets and you are both incredibly tidy! I have pale cream tile effect laminate (persuaded because it would look better than a darker one with the dark grey worktops) and ideally it...

    Neat laminate Carpet transition options?

    I'm trying to avoid those - have them joining laminate in my house now and the wood effect wears off where you walk - after a year or so look a mess (lighter ones are worse - more obvious) I tried to replace just the tops but they changed the design so I couldn't just pop off and replace...

    Worth swapping boilers? or fix one...and sell one...

    Would that allow the drain to run 6.5 m under the floor to bathroom (no/almost no fall on it)? Other problem it would have to either go up at end into sink/bath/shower waste - pipes run above floor in the eaves or run straight into (internal) soil stack ) at more or less same level as WC...

    Worth swapping boilers? or fix one...and sell one...

    Posted here about possibly having solar thermal and the fact that in our new house (renovating) the 2 year old Potterton pro max combi HE plus is probably not compatible...would need a new boiler ... In current house have a Worcester Bosch CDI 35 - over 10 years old, had problems with hot...

    Solar thermal and combi boilers

    Thanks ... Got my brain into gear this morning - realised two things... First that all your pipe work feeds in from the side ...I was kind of thinking it came up AND to the side - so actually not that much more than I have ... And second :oops: they are concrete blocks in the background (not...
