...over £11000 minus grant.The Utility companies are Nationwide.....but most are "not in your area".. I did a fair bit of Plumbing when I was younger so know a bit about what needs doing...and these quotes are out of order........no wonder there is Slow Uptake with the grant.......

They quoted me over £11000 for Heat Pump, Hot water cylinder & 5 Rads....for a 2 bed bungalow in Penzance where we seldom get 0* in Winter. What sort of house can they install all this for £2999.- +5000 grant as advertised? Wendy?

I have applied to EDF, OVO, Good Energy, E.on...........none has mentioned that I MUS have bigger Rads by Law, in fact one of them quoted me for retaining existing rads......... I can understand with the Guarantee...but this was not mentioned....

He said" Must have larger Rads. by LAW.......no mention of their guarantee.....

Yes, I understand that most houses will need new Rads. We live in Penzance where winter Temps. seldom fall below freezing. In their advert for installations, they state "Installations start from £2999.-. They also guarantee the heating will be equivalent to a gas boiler ....or money...

I pointed out to him that we only use one Rad., our house is warm. I have measured the temperature of the water in the Rad ...50*, which I believe is the same temperature from a Heat Pump.

I intend to write to them what law and also ask for a description of the house they are advertising that can be fitted out for under £3000.....

I have just had a call from British Gas about my application to have a Heat Pump installed. I told him that I was happy with my existing Rads., but he said I must have bigger Rads. BY LAW. I find this hard to believe. He then quoted me over £6000 on top of Goverment Grant, for a small semi...

When we moved from Northern Ireland to London, we had visits weekly from the Priest. One day I( a sceptical 14year old) asked my Dad what did he want. My Father replied " When Jesus found the Apostles asleep, he asked "could you not watch one hour with me?"......but what he meant was "can you...

Any advice on Vinyl planks with integrated insulation? Howden's do them but they are expensive...

I I moved here from Ireland in 2014. I had to convert my Euros at €1.45 to the Pound. Wish I'd waited....

Yes, now they will be hung in a dry/airy shed to dry out before anything else. Dry weather forecast here for a good few days....

Yes , I remember "the green bits" I washed that that off with Sodium Percarbonate, the whole gates. Getting forgetful, it's that age.... It's been out in very heavy rain for 3 days and they are not getting any heavier so assuming Primer is doing it's job,....2 coats .

I have gone over the Knots with 2 part wood filler then primered the whole gates with 2 coats. I have rubbed it all down with a wire brush and the primer hasn't been disturbed, holding up well.

No sign of Mould/Algae. Going to dry them out for a week, as been bucketing down here, then an oil based primer , then Superdec. I assume when it has been gone over with a wire brush and Power washed it will not need sanding again?

Thanks, I have used 2 part filler. Now using wire brush and pressure washer to get the Ducksback off. Surprisingly it doesn't affect the All primer...

Yes, unfortunately I Primed the whole door!! The Aluminium stood up well to the rain..That Sadolin seems to be what I need. I used Ducksback on my Shed and it worked well.....so I thought........ Thank you.

That was a disaster....painted one side of gate with 3 coats Ducksback...left to dry....then leftbovernight out in rain....washed off. Can someone help wit paint recommendations please?

Ok, so rubbed down & 2 coats of Alu. primer. Was planning to use Cuprinol Ducksback. I have used it elsewhere in the Garden, and it's excellent far better than Ronseal. Any thoughts as it says " Ducksback is not deep penetrating but very much relies on the timber texture for adhesion. For...

Terrified, on busy roads in winter.....didn't stay long....
