Weird - nohing for years and then two in 5 minutes. I'll copy my other post here: "I'm a big fan of these Airflow extractor fans. They are super neat and the self-closing cover is very clever. The basic fan has modules that you can add so that you can choose which functionality you want. PIR...

I'm a big fan of these Airflow extractor fans. They are super neat and the self-closing cover is very clever. The basic fan has modules that you can add so that you can choose which functionality you want. PIR, Humidistat and Time Overrun or any combination of the three. I cannot attest to the...

This is a great long-term solution, maybe a little too long.... Regards Tet

Considering these are about 60cm diameter then I'd have to dig a hole that would make my neigbours curtains twitch like mad! Regards Tet

I managed, after a lot of sweat and swearing to get three concrete posts out of the ground. They were each embedded into huge lumps of concrete with hard core about 50 years or so ago. I have a trailer, but despite the fact that they do "roll", getting these gigantic balls of concrete in is...

I've used Liberon Teak oil for years. It is super easy to apply and lasts really well. I also put 9 coats on a sanded teak parquet floor in the hall of a commercial premises that I maintain as a volunteer in 2019 and it hasn't been refinished since and still looks great. I used to use Sikkens...

Not sure if this is the apprrpriate forum as I expect some pushback. In my defence I love wood as a material and have replaced window boards with oiled hardwood in a previous house. I'll be replacing all the window boards in the house with new. Every rooms will be replastered and there will be...

Thank you That makes a huge amount of sense - turning the call for heat off is a better solution than the idea that I had. I don't need or want there to be any call for heat when the valve is activated but a command to turn off the heat would be excellent. The Pellet Boiler is set to 70-deg and...

OK - I give in I don't want to waste a G3-qualified plumber's time quoting for something that cannot be done. What is the best way for me to specify the job in order to give as much necessary info as possible? Regards Tet

That is a little condescending, but I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Is what I want proscribed or is it just tricky to connect? Theoretically, I believe that to get the functionality I want, the Megaflo and the MV perform exactly the same function as a Rad and a TRV. I do not need a...

I'm a little confused. The primary circuit from the boiler is capped by the boiler itself at 70-deg. Does this not protect the Megaflo against overheating? I want the MV to be open by timer and closed by the Megaflo thermostat. This is only a temporary arrangement as the whole heating will be...

Yes - I have a Windhager Pellet Boiler with Heatmiser-controlled UFH and Hive-controlled Rads upstairs. The Pellet Boiler has an overrun and PR controls built-in. I had the wet side of the Megaflo installed professionally, but the smart stuff wasn't ready to enable an electrical connection to be...

Hi I'd like to run my Megaflo independently from the rest of my heating set-up Cylinder - Heatrae Sadia Megaflo Eco 300i Indirect Unvented Hot Water Cylinder - 95050475 Motorised Valve - Honeywell Home 272828 What I would like to do is wire up the valve such that the valve opens when the power...

Well that didn't go as well as it might have done...... I managed to source a direct replacement for only £35. When trying to install I found out the reason for the leak as the fitting was actually under tension from the water tank frame behind. The pump fittings were corroded and very stiff...

Is there something less poor that I can substitute in the same place, using the same fittings. At the moment I am either going to a) just replace the seals or b)replace the unit which is within my skillset Regards Tet

I have an intermittent leak from what looks like a glass vessel on the heating/hot water circuit. You can see that the leak is coming from the left hand side and there is a deal of deposit from what must be a long-term leak. It has isolation valves and I would be reasonably confident on...

This could be a TFL problem. My 2019 Volvo Petrol XC40 is coming up as non-compliant on the TFL checker, but compliant on the Motorway version https://motorway.co.uk/ulez-checker This could be something to do with the fact that I have a private plate, but the vehicle is identified correctly...

To be clear. The outbuilding was made of two 4m x 2.5m boxes positioned end-to-end and sharing a common wall. The lower-roofed of which I'll call the "shed" and the other the "garage" Pictures might make it clearer: One of the corners of the shed has sunk about 20cm forcing a rather...
