Hi, I have a none pressurised central heating system and want to add another radiator at ground floor with floor boards. This system is a pain to drain/refill, as it doesn't have an up and a down pipe from the tank, so I have to use a vacuum pump. Anyway, I hope to cut one side of the radiator...

Hi H, Nice for you! Lots of cooking, charging vehicles and heaters, I imagine. AI and Bitcoin will soon be using the spare stuff. C

Hi M, In one sense as funny as Frank Spencer, but in another there are quite a few lessons there. C

Hi H, I try to avoid social media, and sites that smell of conspiracies, as I've seen enough over my life time to get me over the novelty. C

Hi H, I had switched, but it hadn't finalised, as I had missed a number out of the form, so I'm not terrified of changing. I was asking about the efficiency of my 30 year old boiler, not particularly the supply costs. Thanks for your efforts, I'll re-consider when I have a minute. C

Hi H, Sorry to disappoint you, but, I re-checked the fuel prices of my existing supplier compared to Octopus, and mine was cheaper, so I'll carry on in my simple way of reading the old meter, and paying as I go along. I'll send you the £50 from the money I save NOT ;) C

Hi H, Personally, I don't like the constant monitoring of what I do, including power usage. C.

Hi F, Only the external walls. This is a house not garage. C.

Hi C, I'm sure you'll find one that you can call out at any time, but you may pay more ;) C.

Hi, I've just done this, with building control. I misunderstood some instructions from them and laid a damp course up the walls, then battens. They made me take off the wall damp course explaining that if there is any damp coming from the house to the wall it will condense instead of...

Hi, I had efficient diesel vehicles for 40 years, only to find they've been killing me for that long. I bought an almost free north sea gas central heating system, the price went up. I have a dumb meter. I read it pay the bill, and nobody owes anything to each other. It's not broke' don't fix...

Hi T, Am I correct that I recall metal inserts? C.

Hi M, It must be a superseal, as it has 2x 'O' rings on it. C.

Hi, I've just connected a washing machine to plastic pipe. I fitted the metal on/off tap to the pipe, using an olive plus plastic insert. The end of the insert appears to be holding the pipe from fully going into the fitting so I think the olive is skewed. This doesn't seem right, so I'd like...

Hi H, I tried, but there's a problem, should get your dosh before Christmas ;) C

Hi E, Ok, thanks. This makes it a much bigger job. I'll go into the ceiling and fit a John Guest straight fitting to copper then weave my way to down the wall. Cheers, C

Hi M, Ok, isolation valve. Is there a similar small diameter fitting that you would plaster over? C

Hi, I have a John guest water pipe 15mm running in the ceiling, and it needs to come down the wall to the washing machine. It's difficult to visualise the angles and minimum space here but if I can fit e,g, an arrest fitting: See image. to the plastic pipe, I could then use copper for the angle...

Hi H, I tried your link, and it looks interesting. I'll dig deeper, thanks. C
