Thanks Charlie George. Yes, I don't believe the original has a dye in it, but I'd no idea what it was or how to replicate it. So, that's interesting. Thanks, that's very helpful.

It can be observed in the attachment the darkened colour of this 1930s brick mortar. The bottom left of the picture shows a more modern piece of cement which has been placed there at some point and is a more "standard" colour. If I wanted to make up some cement which was more in keeping with...

The issue would be that the skirting board is 15 cm tall. As far as I can ascertain, the highest a radiator foot will hold a rad off the floor is 10 cm. Consequently, if using feet, it would not be possible to use the two hook/brackets at the bottom the rad. With this being the case, it would...

Hanging a 1800 mm tall x 470 mm wide vertical column radiator on a brick wall, one option is to simply hang it using the two sets of brackets supplied by the manufacturer. The rad did not come with radiator feet, however it's easy to purchase suitable radiator feet online. If setting the rad...

Was wondering if anyone had any comments on the following? In a particularly small double bedroom, I can place an 1800 mm tall vertical 3-column rad in the corner beside the window (red option). Alternatively, I could place an 1800 mm tall vertical 2-column rad on the left when entering door...

Here's a photo on the left of what is supplied. The screw is 80 mm long inc head. There are eight of these supplied. To the right is a spare concrete screw which I had lying around. It's an example of the type I'm referring to. That particular one is 110 mm long, though it wouldn't necessarily...

A wall. Specifically, a plastered-finished brick cavity wall.

That's a good point.

I've just measured the widest diameter of the supplied screws (below the head) and they come in at 5.8 mm. The screws shown in the link in my original post are 7.5 mm, so it's possible those concrete screws would not go through the supplied brackets.

If hanging an 1800 mm tall vertical radiator which weighs 50 kg, do you think it's best to use the standard screw with wall plug supplied, or to alternatively use an equivalent brick screw which does not require a wall plug? Example...

Oh, so cheaper to purchase when new. I had wondered why that was there. I wonder if these were also used as residential outside loos, or commercial-only. The side connection has been blocked so would appear to have been used unconnected to others.

Just curious, as I had read in the aforementioned thread that someone had the same brand of loo. I hadn't actually heard of syphonic before, so was curious as to how to recognise one.

The above post is from a thread from 2008, but I didn't want to revive the thread. The thread suggested it was probably syphonic, though there was no photo. Would anyone know from the image below if this Royal Doulton toilet is also syphonic?

(I'm not an electrician, but) the main fuse box for the house, the meter from which meter readings are taken from and some other plastic box of some description there don't know what it is. Basically just wanted this all tucked in a metal wall box.

I'm looking for a metal wall-mounted internal cabinet into which a mains fuse box and meter etc can be placed in order to cover this up. Obviously I'd get an electrician to install; I'm interested in looking at what designs are available first. Would this product potentially be suitable...

What's DNO?

Thank you. What is the name given to the containment box into which a fuse box and the readings meter are fitted? I wanted to look them up to determine the dimensions to see if one would fit in the location I'm considering.

I know in some older houses the main domestic fuse box can be up near the ceiling, and a chair or small step is required to access it. If I were to get an electrician to move the main electrical fuse box to another room in a house, when positioned in the new location, is there any requirement...

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that term before either.

Thank you noseall.
