Super, thanks for the advice.

Thanks John, Likely yes.

Hi folks, I have a radial circuit to the garage. Its on a 16A MCB using a 2.5mm T&E. Currently there are 2x1 gang sockets and 2x2 gand sockets as well as a 3A spur for the combi boiler. I am looking to stack the dryer and the washing machine in the garage and wanted to check if it's OK or do I...

Cheers buddy..

My bad sorry.. the ledger board is 25x100 and I am replacing with 50x100 to compensate the gap.. I have looked at Sleeve Anchors or Rawlplug M10 bolts.. just wanted to check what length anchors I should use? 100mm as 50mm would be in wood.

Cheers folks, I thought it was lead and I had found a treasure :LOL:

Hi folks, I am trying to level my kitchen subfloor which over the time has sunk at one end around 4cm. Upon investigation, it turns out 100x400 support timber for the joists is floating in air (causing it to bounch) and no longer sitting on the honeycomb brickwork. (This must be due to the...

Doing the floor on my kitchen and under the sub floor, I found around 50-80 pieces of this. Has anyone got an idea what this is? Is it Lead?

Think that idea works as long as existing floor doesn't bounce and is solid. You could put down a 4-6mm ply before putting the SLC as it could cracked due to movement between the joints. Once it's all level you can put a 9mm ply to finish it all off

Thanks JobAndKnock sounds a fair plan.. I will use 18mm plywood over the new leveled 4x2 joists. Can I get away with screwing them? I was under the impression they had to be bolted? So as per your advice, the plan is: 1- life the old T&G boards 2- use 4x2 to level the floor (C24s or C16s?) 3-...

Hi folks, I'm preparing the kitchen floor for tiling. The floor is not level (been like this since I bought the house) and want to address the floor before tiling but don't want to go overboard unnecessarily. I took the spirit level and drilled some screws on each end to determine how much it...

I'm surprised about reading the comments here.. all I wanted was some advice. PS. We all know changing the divertor swtich or the cartridge doesnt involve touching the gas so dont understand whats the drama!! anyhow folks very helpful.. cheers all..

No problem.. apologies I wasnt aware it was against the site rules. I have called one of the polish engineers to come have a look at it. Atleast he wont fleece me. Cheers anyway

Is that not the purpose of the forum? The safety checks will be done during the annual service ( due in 2 weeks)

Hi folks, My radiators are getting warm when hot water is in use. Heating is off both at the control and on the boiler but the issue remains. I have done some research already which points me to: a)- Divertor Valve Switch b)- Divertor Valve Cartridge Am I right? I have also foind some threads...

ch cheers mate.. just got a box of 5 for a tenner from flebay..

where can you get Hager?

lol.. bet that lights up like a Christmas tree everytime you switch it off. any ideas what's the best ones?

Thanks, I suspected that too.. it's the cheap ones.. I assume the owner who renovated before I bought the house used the cheap ones. there is no brand on them but they appear to be the £1.14 ones from screwfix.
