How I Successfully Changed a TRV Thanks for the comments above. I thought I'd share that following the above instructions and advice I managed to successfully change the TRV on the Bathroom Towel Rail. My CH system, is a two circuit with hot water tank, radiators being fed by twin pipes. I...

Yes, I’ve measured it, and if I need to do the tail in to the bottom of the radiator, I can do if I have to, but I do want to avoid that if I can. Thanks all ….

How do I change a TRV on a pressurised system? A couple of weeks ago, I noticed the bathroom floor had 'dried water' underneath the towel rail / radiator. I checked the radiator for leaks, and it was bone dry all around it and the connecting pipes. I left it for a few days, keeping my eye on...

As others have said, just to make the footpath look nice, hopefully less slippy for ourselves and the neighbours, I just like to take a bit of care of things if I am able to do so.

@just pumps thanks. That’s one treatment I’d not heard of so will look in to it

Hi, It has been discussed in a few threads years ago, looking through them product recommendations seem to vary. While I thought of resurrecting one of those threads, I have checked the activity of some of the posters, and they seem to be inactive members. So, the pathway outside the house has...

Hi All, Our home is fitted with dual zone (upstairs and downstairs, surprisingly) thermostats and I am thinking a programmable thermostat might be a better solution for the family. Slight changes to the working patterns mean the on-off twice a day which the central heating controller offers...

Has anyone any experience of applying for planning permission for a children’s playhouse? Following on from a previous topic, I was provided with this link... https://www.theplayhousecompany.co.uk/planning-guidance This link, and another which I found ...

I think I might need planning permission because of the idea of having a veranda/platform. I wanted the playhouse elevated so I could create toy storage space beneath, and then have a slide to the ground off the veranda/platform area.

I am looking a building a raised playhouse this spring, so just exploring a few options/ideas/problems. The main posts I envisage to be 100mm x 100mm, but wondering how these are best fixed in to the ground. I have only done fencing in the past where I have used bolt down post shoes or simply...

Thanks for taking the time to reply ... (y)

In fairness I was concerned dampness may creep up the Garden Wall, and across to the house.

The latter, I anticipate I may get one ... I don't wish to wait 5 years for a problem to develop.

I have moved in to a new home recently, and I have noticed that a garden boundary wall which adjoins the house brickwork, there appears to be no damp course in the wall, and also, no damp course between the garden wall and the house. As you can see from the pictures, the joint is mortar. Since...

in the meantime before I get it looked at by a suitable engineer, is there any immediate risk of further damage while this is ongoing?

The Boiler is an Alpha CB50 ... How is the best way to diagnose the fault correctly?

I am at work, and I forget the make/model of the boiler. I will update the thread ...

Hi, I have had a look through past articles - and not sure I have found the same situation; I have a combi Boiler for the Hot Water & Central Heating. I believe there is some sort of reservoir tank in the boiler too, and this means that there is instant hot water. Recently, the hot...

Hi, The shower which runs off the boiler, is running cool. There is hot water in all other taps in the house, so I am making a large leap of faith assuming that there is something wrong with the cartridge... This isn't the first time it has happened, but the last time, the house was new...

Hi, I am after changing the normal rotary thermostat to a programmable thermostat. The LOOK I have removed the old thermostat, and there is three wires. The diagram below needs rotating, sorry!..There is a Blue wire in Terminal 4 Black wire in Terminal 3 Brown wire in Terminal 1...
