Hi guys We're getting some of these doors fitted (they are laminate) and the carpenter has sent us a picture showing the internal wood colour rather than the grey. He said this is standard and Howdens supply a paint to colour but Ive looked on the manual for these and it says about a 10mm lip...

Its a dark art :)

Hi guys Ive always struggled getting skirting to fit right on external corner joins. Is there a technique Im missing as walls are always out so when Im mitring the two lengths I always seem to get that slight split. Yes I can chaulk it but surely there's a better easier way to get the two to...

Ah ok I thought you meant you can take a portion of the bleed valve out. I did realise that you can release some water to remove it and will give it a go

Just wanted to say thank you as Ive managed to sort out the problematic radiators (well most of them) turning the ones that were working forced the hot water and air into the none working ones. Once bled they heated up nicely. Although the radiator which wouldn't bleed is still being a rascal...

Hi Guys, Probably a silly question but I cant see an obvious answer - whats the difference between these 2 units please? Im just wanting to interlink 3 smoke alarms and a heat alarm so as I understand it I can use the Ei3000mrf module but what does the base unit offer that this doesnt? Thanks!

Ok cool thanks I will have a look as I just assumed (not being a plumber) and looking at the bleed valves they are one unit so you have to take out the whole thing but if you're saying some arent then I'll give it a go (Ive got some spare so I can have a look at them as an example). And yes its...

The system was never tested as we bought the house and then started renovating it, adding some new radiators and replacing the old. I was going to drain the system so I can take out the possibly sludgey air bleed valve and give it a good clean. Just been given another tip (simular to what you...

Opened the air bleed valve a little bit to see whats cooking and it hissed a bit so you're possibly right she's blocked up. Will investigate that once Ive drained the system. The radiators which aren't heating up I pressed down the trv pin and it popped back up so that seems ok. Any thoughts...

Guessing thats to give the radiator time to actually heat up?

Ok cool and the otherside should that be fully open (obviously not fully closed) or half way?

Sorry should have said its a combi system so sealed and pressurised from the boiler. All of the radiators which are playing up have trv's. So I should be able to take the head off the trv and the pin in the middle of it should go up and down (guessing I cant damage it by pressing it down and it...

Hi guys Having a problem with a few radiators where they aren't warming up yet I can bleed them and water comes out 2 of the 3. Interestingly enough previously the one which isnt bleeding did bleed previously. The system hasn't been on for a while so I can't see what could the the problem...

Not quite the same building over your boundary compared to building well within your boundary just slightly longer than you planned for. But still...

Not a troll just wanted productive feedback. Im not going to knock the extension down and Ive found my solution so thanks to all. Case closed ⚘⚘⚘

Though? Not sure what you mean?

This may be true (although most people say 1.4m isnt significant) and yes we should have put it in the original plans but didnt really visualise what the original plans would have looked like so obviously didnt and as you said you havent seen the site dont know the setup so you're making an...

Interestingly enough I had a call with the local planning department - general help kind of person. They were really good and very knowledgeable - more so than the senior person who gave us the warning and spoke to me about what I needed to do. What I find frustrating is we're not trying to...

So yeah the actual distance is 1.4 meters (from what the planning authority said). The reason our plans have been approved and then unapproved is because there are conditions on the approval (the frosted glass in the bathroom which we have done) if the actual structure deviates from the...

Hi guys n girls We had our planning application approved and a conditional part of the approval was to have frosted glass on the first floor east elevation - only 1 window this side and its in a bathroom so we would be silly OR VERY PROUD OF OURSELVES not to frost it over. Anyway... Fast...
