Next daft question of the day I've knocked two rooms into one and at present have two seperate light in the same room. I want both ceiling roses to operate together on 2way switching. Ceiling rose1 is wired as a 1way to a 2gang 2way switch at the bottom of the stairs (the other gang of the...

Hi, I'm after a bit of guidance please. I have a pair of latern style outdoor lights that I want to put either side of my front door. I don't really want cable or conduit visible either inside or out if I can avoid it. The hall way will be replastered in a few weeks, so chasing etc not a...

900x400mm, literally right inside the doorway (where I've bridged the cavity having replaced a window with a door)

Hi, I've got a patch of floor right by the front door way that is 10mm lower than the rest (my fault.. didn't mix enough concrete!) I seem to recall adhesive is only supposed to be a few mm thick else its not as effective. What the best thing to do for tiling it? Top it up with a bit more...

try some nail varnish remover if you have some about the house, or paint thinners. Concentrate on a small area at a time. Whatever you do is going to be slow going I suspect to avoid damage.

Thank you I wasn't aware of that. I was thinking it was like the gas safe scenario - ie. not registered = don't use them. But I guess gas is a some what riskier business. Looks like I'm going to have to go the DIY route anyway due to deminishing funds. THis was never my intention, but it...

I appear to have unintentionally gotten on the wrong side of everyone here. "Methinks youve had your quota of good information on this subject, I would crack on and get it done" Thanks. Some people are being very helpful, but I didn't realise help was rationed. My apologies if I've outstayed...

Nothing wrong with the boiler so why spend £1000+ for the sake Of it? If there was a need to replace it in the near future it would be with a grant vortex ( exactly the same dimensions) so location and flue could all be reused. If it was a few years down the line and model etc had changed, then...

What sort of costs should i expect for the plumbing/comissioning work? I would do any building/demolition Flue - £350 approx pipework, fittings, fire valve, stop valve £100 approx Labour??

Here's what I need to do or have done...... Internal image showing boiler in current location. Option1, rotate boiler 90 degrees, put right back to wall, and as close to side wall as poss. fit vertical flue kit and take through cloakroom wall to air brick (white vent just in view in pic)...

sorry, 3rd time I've done that.... new topic/reply topic - they are so close together!

Sounds like a few feet extra copper is the way to go then! thanks for your input. :) We use E7 as its set for every morning (4-5.30). Boiler is on most of the weekends, through the winter, but on an hour in the morning during the week (but we have found the water is not hot enough after...

we had a kitchen drain put in 2yrs ago backfilled the same, although only short run so everything was just piled back in and stompted on. This week we have lifted the turf that was put over and laid some slabs. It was very obvious where the trench was and walking around on the clay made it...

sorry, 3way is connected to HW and CH, to allow either independantly, or both at the same time. We just use immersion for HW all year on E7 and have the boiler top it up early evening through winter months. Elec shower and dishwasher mean we rarely use more than a HWcylinders worth in a day...

system is not zoned, single circuit feeding 4rads up stairs 6rads down (soon to be 4rads down). There is a drayton 3 way motorised valve for HW cyl just after the pump. All rads have TS valves, except for upstair bathroom. is that what you needed to know? many thanks

I need to add a rad, only a few feet from where the boiler flow/return pipes pass before entering the ceiling void. Would I be correct in thinking I cannot simply T-off of these to install the rad as its before the pump? The pump being located upstair in the airing cupboard. Therefore I would...
