Oh and radiator pipes - you can put them in the insulation if you can - or buy decent (class 0) pipe insulation for them (which is the route I took - and will take again) (Started an argument on here years ago about whether you should insulate microbore or not - argument being insulation...

I've done this in my living room - stapled up loft roll with garden net - and I think it makes a difference... I am going to do the same in the house I'm renovating - but it only has a small crawl space so using kingspan (110mm) so it doesn't protrude under the joists too much and isn't such a...

Avoid ANY white kitchen floor like the plague ...unless someone else has to clean it, you don't have children/pets and you are both incredibly tidy! I have pale cream tile effect laminate (persuaded because it would look better than a darker one with the dark grey worktops) and ideally it...

Pretty sure mine are the same make as the ebay link - stikatak -(bought in B&Q )... Shall stop hijacking :wink: and start my own thread...

I'm trying to avoid those - have them joining laminate in my house now and the wood effect wears off where you walk - after a year or so look a mess (lighter ones are worse - more obvious) I tried to replace just the tops but they changed the design so I couldn't just pop off and replace...

Wickes sell standard sealed cork tiles :D But might be better looking for bigger ones ...online maybe?

Looks interesting...didn't know they existed...thanks

Would that allow the drain to run 6.5 m under the floor to bathroom (no/almost no fall on it)? Other problem it would have to either go up at end into sink/bath/shower waste - pipes run above floor in the eaves or run straight into (internal) soil stack ) at more or less same level as WC...

Posted here about possibly having solar thermal and the fact that in our new house (renovating) the 2 year old Potterton pro max combi HE plus is probably not compatible...would need a new boiler ... In current house have a Worcester Bosch CDI 35 - over 10 years old, had problems with hot...

What is an emersun? Google hasn't found it !

Looking at having both done at same time - one lot of scaffolding etc etc Solar pv with the lower feed in tariffs - (going down further end of June) not sure i would get my money plus interest it would have earned back ...figures I've looked at its very close ... Solar thermal -you get a...

Thanks ... Got my brain into gear this morning - realised two things... First that all your pipe work feeds in from the side ...I was kind of thinking it came up AND to the side - so actually not that much more than I have ... And second :oops: they are concrete blocks in the background (not...

That looks like a lot of pipe work though! Planning on keeping boiler in downstairs utility and solar tank in attic...will I need that thing that looks like a white expansion tank next to the boiler or can that go into attic (limited space in utliity)

Never heard of them before ... Will be local plumber be able to fix them? (Are they pretty standard layouts?) Guess I thought they would be v. expensive but actually seem reasonable... Might have a word with plumber and see if he has ever dealt with them ... Also I guess which one would...

Looking at having solar thermal installed... Current boiler is a Potterton Promax Combi HE plus - about 2 years old - fitted before I got house... Apparently it is possible to have solar thermal and a combi boiler ...depending on the boiler... Tried to find out from Potterton if this boiler...

While trying to find the best price for a Henry (or a Charles -wet & Dry) I found that Wickes do a wet & dry - same principle as a Henry for £37 - with people recommending buying the wet & dry filter too for an extra £13.50 -Total £50.50 (B&Q do one too -but for some reason I didn't get a good...

Right I'm going for a Henry - seems like a better way of spending my money than handing over £80 and not getting anything back...especially if the hire ones will clog too...and there will be more dust so it will come in handy later... Maybe even one of the wet & dry ones...Charles ...more...

Looking at hiring one that was £80 -so not far off a henry...just wondering if the good hire ones can cope with plaster dust or do they clog up as well? Would the Henry bags cope with the plaster dust ...my DIY vac is an old domestic one with a cloth bag -(has coped in the past with cleaning...

Tidying up mess from a rewire in empty house...plaster dust and bits of rubble from chasing out ..... After struggling with dust blocking vacuum even after a brush up have now resorted to a going over with brush and dustpan ...then using a vacuum attached to a water filled 'dust trap' (I made...

I made plasterboard boxes for the 'normal' downlighters in current house...mainly cause I had lots of plasterboard off cuts...plant pots seem an easier option Just thought because these were LED and 'special' and what electrician said I didn't need to.... oh well you live and learn ...
