If you are running cables from the Wiring Centre to the actuators on the radiators then you really only need to match the size and configuration of the pre-wired flex on the actuators. In most cases this is two core 0.5mm flat flex. If you install in plastic conduit I would suggest 0.75mm twin...

Its been a few years since this was originally posted and unfortunately the links to photos on Google drive no longer work. I have a Heatmiser system on my UFH system using NeoAir v2 wiring centres and a NeoUltra. However I need to control a large towel rail/radiator in an en-sute and wondered...

We need to install a HW recirculation pump and circuit in our Village Hall. There is a very long draw off from the HWC in the loft to the furthest tap in the Doctors Consulting room handbasin. As a result the water does not reach 55 degrees C within 1 minute which is the requirement for our...

I have a 20+ year old UFH system from Wirsbo (now Uponor) which uses wireless room stats. I would like to upgrade the heating controls to digital "learning" thermostats so am looking at using Heatmiser NeoAir stats and wiring modules. These are 230v and my current actuators are 24v so need to...

Many thanks Phatboy, unfortunately a loftzone will make the space unusable. At a pinch I could lift the boards by 50mm but any more would make the space unusable. As it happens Travis Perkins have just sent me a deal on Knauf Earthwool thats £15 per roll. I'm wondering if I could lay 50mm...

As the title says I am looking for some advice on loft insulation. I have a bungalow which I rebuilt in 2000 so external walls are now cavity and have cavity insulation. The roof spaces are part open and part boarded for storage. The ceiling joists are 125mm and the fiberglass comes up just...

Fit a repair kit!! Good idea for a first off. Many thanks

OK so good news first. I took lid off the cistern whilst pump was still running and noticed it was slightly overflowing so valve was possibly never turning completely off. I have adjusted water level and pump now turns off after valve closes. However I can still here it dribbling so need to...

Good Idea. We have a houseful at moment as whole family (including grandchildren) self isolating with us and had to get up twice in the night to run the cold tap to stop the pump after boys used the toilet!!!!

Mains comes in at front of building and bathroom is at back. Bathroom has vaulted ceiling so cant get over the top. Even if I could WC is back to cabinet and would mean ripping out cabinets to run a new supply from anywhere even under plinths. There is an access panel in worktop so I can...

Thanks Andy Ill take a look at these.

I have a bungalow with vented hot water system. I have just had a new kitchen and wet-room installed and performance at modern taps was appalling so have fitted a monsoon twin impeller pump to provide whole house boosted water. This works fine and has drastically improved flow at taps etc...

Hi TimS15 . Its been a while (nearly 4 years) since you posted this answer and I wondered how the Showerbooster is performing or if youve had to replace it? Many thanks Fozzie

Thanks Bobasd . I would have thought you plasterers would have seen loads of ceiling cornice :D but here goes. Starting with the reason why the ceiling needs to be skimmed ie artex tape coming away. Pictures below are just shots of the existing cornice. Its a big ceiling and probably needs two...

Having recently chopped off the coving in my kitchen ready to have the ceiling skimmed it took me ages to make good the walls with Easyfill!! I now have a large lounge ceiling that needs skimming to cover the artex where the tape is now coming away from the joints. Is it reasonable to ask a...

Thanks for your suggestions. See responses to your questions: A. Will probably try that approach B. Not feasible as would drain the tank with showers and WC flushes C. No the expansion is fine. No overflow from HWC

No all my shower mixers and sink mixers are supplied from the storage tank and HW cylinder at the same pressure including kitchen sink which has a separate CW drinking tap. The HW cylinder was replaced a couple of years ago for a larger cylinder and was clean as a whistle with no scale as we...

I can try turning the elbow. I have bought and fitted a good quality brass float valve and float from a reputable plumbers merchants not a cheap one from Wickes or Screwfix.

I am looking for advice on a problem I have with my 50 Gallon cold water storage tank which regularly overflows. Previously the ball valve was a Torbeck Diaphragm Valve but it kept getting grit in it and overflowing. I have therefore changed this to a good quality brass float valve with a...

Thanks for heads up but modules are in 40mm deep plasterboard boxes so should have plenty of space :D
