Hi all, I am going to replace a ceiling pendent for a new light/fan. The instructions included are not the best as they appear to be for a slightly different model with a different base so don't show me what I should do with the earth. The bracket and light are both metal. The bracket that...

Hello all, I plan to hang a new radiator on a dot and dab wall using M6 rigifix anchors. The 4 x brackets are quite small which means the two slots for the fixings are quite close together. I am a bit concerned that drilling two 12mm holes in thermalite blocks so close together for the plugs...

Hi all, I am soon going to hang a new radiator in my house. It's the first time I will have hung a radiator in this house so I am looking for a bit of advice. The house was built late 90s and the walls are plasterboard with an approx 25mm cavity and then breeze block. What would people...

How can the engineers get this out if all rads have been bled and pump auto-vents? The engineer cancelled on me last night and is due tonight so he hasn't looked yet.

Hi all, Here is my setup.... Ideal Classic FF250 Brand new Gledhill 250L unvented cylinder and associated pump, zone valves etc (installed 2 weeks ago) Nest Gen 3 Thermostat (installed 2 weeks ago) All radiators have been bled As mentioned above I had a new HW cylinder and Nest programmer...

Would this help me? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KS2ZYLJ?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_dp_0FDK4ZZ93FHZEY3VYWWZ&language=en-GB

Thank you, but I really want to avoid draining down the system and changing the valves at this point. Do you have an example of the reducing insert you suggest?

Thank you, that's helpful. Do you know if there is an option to cut down an extension to my requirements?

Would you be able to show me an image or link to a product to show this please?

Please see another pic below. The reason I didn't buy a wider radiator was because I was looking for a black one and my choice pretty much was between 1220mm and 1440mm (to replace a 1400mm radiator). Unless I wanted to pay crazy money. I appreciate aesthetically it's not ideal to have the...

I want a black radiator (and don't want to pay crazy money). I appreciate the extension might look a little odd, but it will mostly be hidden by curtains so I'm not too worried. I don't want to replace the existing valves. Are you saying that the existing connection in to the existing rad...

Hi all, I am looking for a bit of advice please. I recently moved into a late 90s built house and want to replace a radiator. The existing radiator was a bit of an odd length so the one I have purchased to replace it is approx 180mm shorter, so I am looking at needing 90mm extension each...

Hi all, I'm going to be replacing a couple of sockets in a bedroom soon and want some with built in USB ports. The current one I have is a cheap BG branded one and gives off an annoying whine/hum which I gather is quite common in cheap ones. You only notice it when a couple of feet away, but...

Hi all, I would like to lay some softer and warmer flooring on top of an existing ceramic tiled floor in our conservatory. Not sure exactly what we want to use yet, but something like the faux wood Karndean planks we had in our previous house. We don't use the conservatory much so it will...

Thanks all, very helpful.

Hi all, I plan to install a new socket high on a bedroom (stud) wall for a TV. The other side of the wall is a large airing cupboard where I can access the ring main. Ideally I want to make the TV installation as clean and clutter free as possible. I can't decide whether to: a.) install...

The floors are suspended both upstairs and downstairs. I don't have any particular reason to suspect that the pipes are in the walls, I just genuinely have no idea as any DIY I have done myself in the past have been on a 50s house with brick walls and floor boards so its all a bit new to me...

It's copper pipe, and it's a system boiler (mains water is heated via the cylinder). All the radiators seem to perform ok.
