Is it one that can be easily wired in by ourselves? I've seen an even cheaper version around £60 that doesn't have the hub. I presume the hub is only required if you want to control from your phone.

My son has a Ferroli MAXIMA 35 C boiler. At least I think that's the model from an online search. Photo attached so maybe someone can confirm. It's pretty old looking but has actually been pretty reliable, despite the poor reputation Ferroli seems to have online. He can't afford to replace it...

Behind these two boxes is a layer of insulation board, presumably with a layer of plasterboard on top, with a batten behind. Possibly a noggin between two studs either side. It's about 60mm from the wall face to the batten. You can just make out the insulation board and batten in the photo. I...

Ah OK, so using a 100mm screw or thereabouts?

Did you screw the insulation to the batons first, then screw the plasterboard to the insulation?

Ah OK. It's a bit late for drilling but the screwdriver isn't picking up sawdust. All I can add just now is a photo showing the screwdriver 65mm into the wall, and directly below it is a magnetic stud finder that's found a nail or screw. If that screw is going into a stud then how can the...

I'm trying to avoid making even more holes in the wall because it's wallpapered. I'll remove a socket first of all and have a look behind it and report back here.

I'm just completely puzzled. I can't be sure it's a stud I'm hitting 65mm in with the screwdriver in the photo, but if it is and 62.5mm insulated plasterboard has been attached to these studs, then what is the studfinder detecting at 400mm intervals on the wall? Could it be screw heads and...

No loft I'm afraid

I'm in Scotland. I'll contact the local building control department.

I don't have the planning documents. Possibly with the council or solicitor? The external walls are stone. It's a listed building and based on an old Google maps image I suspect all that existed was the outer stone shell and slate roof. I was repairing a wall socket elsewhere in the flat and...

Would that be like 5 layers of 12.5mm board for example? Why would it be like that with the stud so far back from the wall face?

Another interesting find in my weird and wacky mill conversion flat. The previous owner took down their tv bracket and I'm just getting round to replacing it. I've just checked the depth of the existing screw holes and they are about 65mm deep before I hit anything solid, which I assume is a...

Job done. Thanks for all the advice.

I'm fitting a corner storage basket secured with screws in the shower. The instructions show silicone being used to maintain water tightness, but it's unclear if it goes into the screw hole before the plug, or around the rim of the inserted plug, or even into the plug itself. Any suggestions...

Phew! I've got those two parts. Will fit when I get time.

I've already bought and opened the other recommended parts :(

What height should the top of the standpipe be at?

Maybe they'll decide to leave of their own accord :(
