Thanks Suritsoff. What size co ax cable do you recommend for the extension?

Hello I wish to extend an aerial cable in my bedroom as I’m moving the TV to a different position. I will be lifting the floor boards and extending it under them. What’s the best way to do this as once the floor goes back down I won’t have any access to the join if something goes wrong. I’ve...

Thanks opps and Tigercubrider. So, the process would be to, 1. Sand it 2. Apply primer/undercoat - which would you recommend- then see how that dries? How many coats? 3. Apply finish of my choice. If preferring a satin finish which one would you recommend? Thanks

I’ve uploaded some pics........ I think

Thanks opps for your reply. I will try and post pics. It’s actually a bed frame and not a chest of drawers if that makes a difference? Approx 8 years old.At a guess I would say it was a mass produced item from a high st bed shop Not sure about your other questions. Maybe pics will help? Thankd

Hi We have a range oven 6kw connected with 6mm T&E on a 32A MCB. The oven was installed 4 years ago and had worked fine. We had it cleaned about two weeks ago. Yesterday whilst using both ovens and the grill the MCB tripped. Tried to reset but wouldn’t. Turned oven off and it reset. Then...

@Mottie The quote included the replacement of 4 radiators aswell. I’m assuming the price for the radiators would be the same on each quote He’s not recommending either to be honest

Hello I have a Worcester Combi 24cdi quite an old boiler and has been on its last legs for a while now. We returned home yesterday to find the boiler had tripped the electrics due to a leak from the AAV. I think it had shorted something on the board maybe. Anyway it now , when heating is called...

Thanks Terryplumb. I think the pipe on the pressure relief valve comes out of the soffits over the side extension so very awkward to reach. Don’t think it has a condensate pipe it’s that old! I thought about the pipe work under the ground floor but really don’t want to disturb any flooring on...

I have a Worcester 24cdi that is very old and is constantly losing pressure. I just need to get through this winter with it and then get a new one. For a while now it loses pressure whether it’s running or not, don’t think I have any leaky pipe work. It constantly needs topping up every day but...

Update: Sorry for the late reply. Eventually found a leak under the floor by the radiator. Fixed it and the rad gets hot now. Got an issue with the boiler now but will create a different post

I’m pretty competent. Will do as you say. Would I check for flow on pipes by taking rad off and cracking the valves with the boiler running to see if there’s a flow. Are the valves a problem? Both being lock shields?
