Thanks for the reply and its certainly worth a try.

I`ve got to drill three holes into the top (upside down) window reveal of our bathroom to hang a venetian blind. Any tips on "how to" on this ? Whatever type of drill ( diamond tip best? ) I use I cant use water to lubricate the drill bit as I`m drilling upside down with the drill pointing up...

Sorry, but in my earlier post I missed out the very important word in the title.....Gutter. Grateful for any ideas on how I can get round this one. We`re having a conservatory built so I thought it sensible to replace these 50 year old very rusty gutter brackets that will be awkward and...

Grateful for any ideas on how I can get round this one. We`re having a conservatory built so I thought it sensible to replace these 50 year old very rusty gutter brackets that will be awkward and difficult to access when the coni is built. The problem is that some of the screws holding each...

Thanks for the replies. Its concerning for me as a member of the public that my Gas -Safe Engineer (who`s reg name & member I have checked online) assures me their method of doing this work is safe and will not give any probs. Yet here I have a consensus of Engineers saying this is not the...

Thanks for the reply. Conservatory will be 4m x 3mtr x standard height "lean too" type with french-doors and 3 opening windows. Boiler is an IDEAL ISAR HE30 installed in 2005.

Our gas boiler flue on the kitchen wall needs to be extended on the outside to go up through a planned conservatory roof. Gas-Safe Eng tells me the parts are available and can be done fairly straightforward, by working in sync with the conservatory installer. The Eng tells me the air intake...

Thanks for the info gasmanstu72. It will be in copper but just for my info am I correct in thinking plastic is a no-no as it would collapse in the concrete?

Thanks for all the replies re my last post about extending a boiler flue through a conservatory roof. That now seems sorted as the conservatory company have their own Gas-Safe fitter who will do this as the conservatory is built, but before this I would welcome guidance on this one please. I...

We want to have a simple conservatory built onto the back of the house butting up to the kitchen wall, therefore the kitchen wall mounted Ideal Isar 30 combi gas boiler flue that extends horizontally out of the wall needs to be extended vertically up to clear the roof line of the intended...

This pic may help in id the type, you can see the plug If no good I can take more tomorrow and post to you. Thanks again.

Thanks again. Apologies for the pic being a bit out of focus but the slightly raised lip to left of plug is the battery cover that is attached to the plug.

Thanks for the reply. I've now taken one of the units down for checking (date of manufacture on the back was 2003) to find the mains wired push-fit plug is also the backup battery cover, which is highly unlikely to fit a newer unit, so I`ll have to rewire into a compatible push-fit plug. It...

I have two mains wired Newey NL3602N alarms (one upstairs, one down) that are now at least ten years old and I would like to replace but these seem no longer available so I`m unsure what to replace them with. What is the prof advice for this? Is it as simple as finding units that have the same...

Thanks for the replies. It is tee`d from the main pipework which is 10mm and then goes through the wall into the conservatory and I wondered if it being tee`d into 15mm pipe this may be the problem ?

Any tips on this would be welcome please. In the summer my son and his wife had a radiator installed in their conservatory which, now they have come to use it gets lukewarm at best. The top of the rad gets lukewarm as does one of the 15mm pipes connected to the rad (I presume the flow) but the...

Bought some of these with a transformer online and I notice that the transformer plug does not have a fuse (or one that can be seen). Since ordering I`ve seen something on the BBC Watchdog program about "Made in China" plugs without a fuse that could be a problem. I simply plan to put these...

I think and hope all is ok now. I bled the rads again and even though there was only a very small amount of air from one the boiler and c/h now fires up and runs ok, (could this have been an air lock somewhere?) I`ll leave you helpful folks alone now. Many thanks to all. Mick

Any ideas on this please? New valve/actuator fitted, c/h-rads system filled via filling loops to 1 BAR on guage and all rads bled including two other bleed points, (pressure dropped as air was expelled but system refilled between each rad) one next to the boiler and one in the loft where the...

Thanks for your reply and help. I`m actually draining it at the moment, it was when I came to literally mentally working through the process this morning that this potential prob occurred to me, so I put this post on and didn't think I would get any guidance this time of day so again many thanks.
