Not sure I understand? 300mm what?

Hi folks, I have a raised deck outside the rear of the house. The deck is around 1.5m off the ground. The house is listed and stands on a buttressed brick wall (also listed). It's currently around 5m wide and 4m deep (extending out from the house). It's supported by a number of doubled...

Very interesting - thanks. Insulation / rooms in rooms - cannot do at all. Really is no option here :( Roof / I have no ceiling. I have vaulted roof everywhere and explosed oak beams. Not entirely sure what insurlation I have up there but will not be able to improve it. Calcs - Where do you...

Currently oil is, Inc vat, 55.88. Come down a lot.

Very in. Will take a look. Unable to do any more. External barn is shiplap, internal all exposed 200 year old oak beems. Windows already fairly new double glazed. My only option is more fire hence my wanting to find the cheapest way. I'm jealous of a friend in Ireland, new build house...

See link above to Panasonic unit. Yes, this is the one in the annex and I want to put the same unit(s) into the house for air. My pondering is, do I use them or water? If there was one which could reliably give me 80c like my dead Dinosaur boiler, perfect. Even if I did use air, what about...

Defrost, I believe (and chimes from what I observed) is the outdoor unit going into reverse. It warms the radiator up slighlty to, well, defrost. I noticed another unit which has an optional 3 or 9kw resistive heating element to aid cold weather. I could not work it out from the specs but the...

Have you seen that in practice and for prolonged periods? I ask because my annex one can operate down to -7.5. Yes, it operates but only just!

Very interesting - thanks. Challenge will likely be, that 75 is in ideal conditions. See below. It's how the inverter ones work. Variable speed fan and compressor. As it catches up with life, it backs off considerably. Very efficient. This is a challenge. The 5kw one I have in the annex was...

Interesting calcs. I "top up" oil 3 times a year and always 1500-2000L @ 79p/L Rads: 3 x 1.4m doubles in the large open spaces and master bedroom. 5 x 600mm bathroom and utility room dump ones 4 x 600mm double along hallway 3 x 800mm doubles in bedrooms 2 x 800mm doubles in lounge 2 x 800mm...

Wife demands far more than I... Not sure how to answer your question. In kw? The boiler is, I believe, 25kw.

Hi folks, I have: * 25 year old oil boiler which is akin to Trigger's Broom. * Live in a large converted barn, large open spaces and normal radiators which need changing. * Excess solar generation (9KW) * Large battery bank and the ability to recharge it at night at 7.5p/unit. I want to get...

Ah yes. Peppered with those. I saw specific non-restricting ones at screwfix. I'll look along the two circuits (bathroom and outside taps) to see if they part culprit.

Yes. Direct from "blue pipe" but reduces to copper 22.

Interesting, thanks. I'll measure it in kitchen (where mains come in) and again in bathroom / outside tap (furthest from kitchen) and see. Not properly measured yet but if two taps are turned on the furthest one looses everything. The outside tap barely push the sprinkler. I'm planning on...

I've pretty dismal flow at home. I live in a rural setting and have almost adequate water flow and pressure. Feed from the street / meter is via 25mm over about 250-300m along the drive. Will adding a pump as it enters the house help? Throughout the house it's either 22mm or 15mm copper.

Or £120 from b&q for same volume. I suppose everyone has to factor in expensive delivery...

Good point. A lot mention "bulk bag" and many specifically say a cube so worth checking for

Pretty sure there's a good portion in there for delivery.... £40 a cube... Yikes. That's plenty cheap.

Hi folks, I'm in need of a load of bark. I checked ebay and for 1m3 it's around £220 delivered. B&Q are doing 3x100L bags for £30. If a bulk bag is 1m3 or 1000L, why would B&Q be cheaper? Am I missing something?
