Sorry cross post ...what do you mean that the water pressure is too high for the combi? (I know it was the highest lt per min hot water I could get at the time - so 12 or 15Lt????) I can't do a bucket now - might wake children up ...but can try tomorrow - do I turn the taps fully on?

I keep trying to get it warmer by reducing the flow upstairs but it seems to then not to be enough to get it to fire up - so it goes cold - the jug was in the bathroom basin - so 15mmm taps.... (actually kitchen tap seems to run fast enough ...but know that isn't fully turned on at its isolator...

Can anyone explain this to me Worchester Bosch 35CDII combi boiler - about 10 years old. Had a few bits replaced in last year....(including a valve to heat exchanger (IIRC) and external expansion vessel)- settings will have been changed - I think maybe water feed pressure increased (we have v...

Looking at screwfix ones and some of them have on/off switches on the reels - fantastic! Will have to have a closer look (was looking at toolstation)... Don't want one with a RCD plug - they are too big ...that's how I wrecked my outside socket in this house...I was trying to plug a circuit...

Thanks -so looking at lots of reels online they don't say coiled/uncoiled - they say they have a maximum load of 3120 watts - so if I understand that means a 1600 watt hoover, 550w drill and 11 w bulb would be fine on one of these if fully uncoiled... but not coiled if can only take 10% load...

Not sure if this shouldn't be in electrics but ... I had a good quality professional 40m one - old though so no thermal cut out. Someone (not me!) managed to overload it (an electric convector heater) -the coils all melted together.. :( Need a new one -with thermal cut out :) but got all...

I know this has been covered a thousand times but have just read a couple of things that made me wonder if I can do what I planned to.... Current loft done on a grant with rockwool to current regs for previous OAP owners ...no boarded storage area. Want an easy solution ...so in central area I...

Have a joiner lined up to fit the kitchen and a few other jobs - so got a kitchen quote from Howdens on his account...so I probably could get doors from Howdens through him... (I thought you were having a dig about why I posted on paint/decorate forum rather than windows and doors :oops: -...

Feeling a bit ripped off - I just paid £7k for 9 windows, one back door, side panels for front door and patio doors for our new house ...guess the patio doors were over £1k though... (did get 3 quotes -this was middle - top was £10k, lower 2 were within a few hundred of each other... all local...

I don't think I want to spend too much on new doors at the moment - have children heading close to teenage years ...expecting door slamming, kicking etc as hormones fly (have memories of one of my then teenage brothers breaking the original, pre-Victorian, non-standard size door at my parent's...

Thanks - when you can get ok-ish doors at less than £30 each....looks like replace might be best bet.... I have doors like this in current house (I painted for first time years ago -but pretty sure took a good few coats) and if children 'chip' them the dark brown shows through and they need...

1970s doors, the thin board on a frame type. Quite dark varnish. 11 doors. One or two with small bashes/holes from hooks Five are being rehung (change the way they open into a room) Thinking of getting a decorator in (rather than do it myself - not finding time to do anything at moment and...

possibly ...not going to think about it ...but thanks for making me laugh! :D Sorry for slow reply ... The frame seems to be nailed to the block walls - the joists don't go into the wall...although on the equivalent bit under the stairs going up there isn't a similar support in the...

I shall check today .... I know in this house the joists run into the wall ... but not sure about there - the wall on either side of the stairs are brick/block so are supporting - (rest of internal walls are plasterboard...) (Was really surprised the floor was boarded - it must have been...

Sorry - don't live there at moment and thought I had got better photos until I came to upload (lots of duplicates -don't know how I managed that) Hopefully these I have anyway might help... From bottom of stairs from top Also this is a picture of current house - which is similar...

1970s house. Stairs are in two parts, with a half landing. Have an understair cupboard ideally I would like to extend under the half landing. Removed some plasterboard to find studwork blocking access....- see photo (floor underneath is boarded - so that's a positive) Is the stud work likely...
