    Break in through a dummy sash window

    Additionally I’m feeling very insecure after this. Are there any additional products I can add to the insert of the window itself to secure this apart from a grill?

    Break in through a dummy sash window

    So as you can see from the images here, only two screws were inserted. I mean, is it that freaking easy to rip open a dummy sash? Could they do the same with a proper window with a handle on it? Are dummy sashes normally targeted like this for break ins?

    Break in through a dummy sash window

    Hi I had a break in at my property. The thieves broke in by using a chisel that was left behind by prising open a dummy sash window that I had no idea had a hinge on it. Are dummy sashes usually that easy to break into? How do I now secure this window because there is no window handle in...

    Radiator not heating up despite doing everything

    Thanks for the help and suggestions here. So, an update after light playing around with it in the last hour and also whatsapping the powerflush guy who flushed our system last April 2022. He had a good memory and said to me that he told me at the time that all 14 radiators on our system was...

    Radiator not heating up despite doing everything

    Yes that is true, I would not need to balance that rad as we would require max heat in that room given how cold it is so LSV should be kept fully open. I will try when I can find my pliers which have gone walkies. Bleeding, turning the LSV or the TRV I'm ok with, anything more and I'm not...

    Radiator not heating up despite doing everything

    Hi Thx. Yes already tried that (my 5th paragraph in posting). Might need to get a plumber or someone to start taking the rad etc off as am not comfortable with that. Was hoping to to try something without having to drain down the system. The pressure at the boiler is a little over 1...

    Is change of use required for on a commercial property?

    Man, why are you even responding with so many nosy and unrelated questions as to why I’m doing this or doing that. You don't know anything what I’m doing and questioning like a troll. Your attitude sucked and rather patronising as to why I asked a forum question which is what this is for you...

    Is change of use required for on a commercial property?

    So are you 'taking over' or not - your first post implies that you are? If you are not committed, you would have said we are 'thinking' or 'considering' taking over, not 'we are' taking over. You really are a plonker. Again zero value. We’re legally committed when we exchange contracts (a few...

    Radiator not heating up despite doing everything

    We have 14 radiators in the home. 3 of the highest ones are in the 2nd floor loft. The small one in the loft bathroom is fine, have to bleed it a tiny tiny bit every month or so to get it piping hot otherwise it’s nice and warm. The other loft radiator is in the bedroom and since around...

    Is change of use required for on a commercial property?

    Thx Woody. Generally speaking, if the dental surgery was once D1 and then automatically became an E category and if the existing use specifically mentioned dental then if the additional services to be offered would ordinarily fall under E, then is informing the council still necessary if we...

    Is change of use required for on a commercial property?

    We're taking over an existing dental practice where the landlord is a bank. There are few spare rooms on the first floor, which maybe a few years down the line we might want to use one room for podiatry services or possibly for an audiologist and another room for beauty aesthetics. All such...

    Capped electricity prices

    No worries. I was just a bit surprised as I thought all “UK government assisted capped rates” (or call it what you will) around the uk are the same. I know energy costs under normal circumstances differ but I honestly thought the unit rates were fixed nationally under the cap. We have...

    Capped electricity prices

    Not sure if this is the right forum thread to post, but anyways. So I'm guessing I'm guessing that most of us are on the govt fixed variable tariff where we are paying circa 40p per kw for electricity. I have a family friend a few streets away with British Gas as their provider and they are...
