A photo about 10ft further back would have been more beneficial, fortunately Woody can see the wider picture;-)

I would change the orientation of the wood you place across the rafters so they are vertical and screw/glue together. Place a spreader plate piece of wood on top of this before you put the I bolt through to dissipate the point load. This sort of question has been asked before, do a search on...

Bump after 5 minutes? If thats urgent yes its a brilliant proposal do as you suggest - or wait for some more considered responses

You are allowed to switch the heating on now so you don't have to wait till the evening to report back

Which gives the same value as you, only difference I have to calculate it (or my spreadsheet does) and you memorise these values, awesome ;-)

As an aside have you checked what speed setting the pump is set at 1,2 or 3. If its not 3 turn it up a notch. And as suggested turn off the other radiator TRVs (all of them)

Similar thing Tony except my understanding is that the basic stresses are applicable to a 300 deep beam and there is a K7 factor - (300/h)0.11 - that can be applied for beams 72<h<300 (BS 5268 Cl.2.10.6)

My bending stress in BS5268 shows 5.3N/mm which factors up to 6.1 with load sharing?

If they are actually sized 75 x 150 (c24) they will span 4.1m if your floor finish is restricted to 0.25kn/m2 (22mm chipboard = 0.15kN/m2). Deflection would be on its limit of 12.3mm and structural capacity would be 65% utilised. Foregoing based on BS 5268 - Structural Use of Timber This only...

Unfortunately the man who raped and killed 2 little girls in the 80s is now running free, I'd prefer him dead.

In what way, public not trusting them? At the end of the day we have to place our trust in them, when little Johnny or Jenny goes missing who do we run to for help? Couzins is a one off, same as others out there in society. And lets not forget they did a brilliant job in apprehending Couzins so...

Global warming?

And as DIY person am I allowed to fix it, if not then any readily available and cheap spares means nothing because no doubt the Gas Safe plumber will want plenty of dosh.

What about fixing some 25 x 25 ( or a size to be decided) to the underside of the grate on 2 ( or 4 sides) sides so it lifts it up to a suitable height when placed back in the gulley. With 2 sides leaves may find way into gulley/drain but whether this would cause an issue depends on amount of...
