Shortly will be replacing loft tank for a 50 gallon one, is this big enough for 1 bathroom with a power shower using a 1.5bar pump and 1 en suite with an electric shower. Also is the copper cylinder big enough 36" x 18" or do I need to upgrade to a bigger cylinder if so what size!.

Definately a vent pipe in 22mm copper it looks like an upside down hockey stick with the valve on the vertical, anything that comes out of it is aimed into the ch header tank. I opened up valve when draining down CH and it sped things up considerably so must go to CH somewhere. Will have another...

The vent pipe that goes back to header tank on my CH has a lever valve which is in the off position, it was in that position when I moved in 2 years ago. Is this correct because if its closed it will be unable to vent. I opened it to let air in when I last drained down CH then closed once all...

Hear what you're saying and totally agree with your logic. I'm going to get some quotes anyway to see how much of a difference there is between flat and pitched as I do prefer the look of a pitched roof.

The flat roof covers part of the extended small bedroom.

The flat roof on my extension, although not leaking as far as I'm aware, is in a poor state. There was a few splits at the edges and one about a meter from the edge which I have patched up for now. I think the boards beneath the felt are rotten as when I walk on the roof its very springy and the...

Is a york flange simply a surrey flange with an adapter to convert the thread that screws to the tank to female because when I search for a york thats all I find. My copper tank has a male thread that is definitely part of the tank so I know I need a york flange but I thought by using this type...

Doing the same job as you and I was thinking of using countersunk frame fixings like these...

Fitting a thermostatic shower valve with a 1.5 bar pump, I have 2 options regarding which way to route the pipes to the valve. First option would be to go from the pump which is in the bottom of the airing cupboard next to cylinder back up into the loft and drop down into bathroom which is...

Starting bathrom refit soon and have a few questions. I will be removing old plaster and either aqua paneling the shower area and plaster boarding the rest using dot/dab method. I have considered doing the whole bathroom in aqua panel but dont like the idea of loosing the space for the battens...

Thanks for replies.No MI's came with tray (Ebay) thats why I'm asking, so I need to put a bed of motar/tile adhesive or silicone down first and then silcone the edges that will come into contact with the wall. Which is the most common that's used for the bed.

Just about to fit 1000mm x1000mm resin stone shower tray and wondered if there is anything I should do before laying it on the 25mm marine ply floor and connecting up the trap. The trays very heavy so unlikely to move especially once the floor tiles are laid, is there anything else I need to.

Planning on removing a small chimney that has already had the bottom half removed and has a small breast passing through upstairs and out through a slopping gable end roof, just wondered what a fair price would be for the scaffolding tower upto the roof that would be required for this job.

Don't know exactly what depth the flashing should go into the mortar.but from memory my builder put it in about 2" and he secured it by rolling up some small off cuts of flashing and knocking it into the groove with a bolster chisel thus jamming it in place, he then told me no one uses mortar to...

Just incase anyone else was thinking about messing about with blown double glazed units, don't bother the cost of replacing them may be much cheaper than you think. I bought 4 units (1150mmx1050mm/1150x500/500x500/450x475) for £119 delivered. I was very suprised as I thought I was looking at...

I will starting bathroom refurb in the next couple of weeks and have considered using aqua panel for all the walls then tiling directly onto that.Can it only be fixed using battens, I contacted knauf the manufacturers about using plasterboard adhesive but they said it wouldn't work because it's...

Anyone come across any products for either polishing out or filling in scratches on granite worktop (star galaxy) and dark grey satin finish floor tiles. I've searched but no luck,the scratches are not too deep.

Thank's for the reply wms, hear what your are saying does seem a waste of time if the crystals are soaked but will be changing windows as soon as funds are available probablly 2 years max so might give my idea a go out of curiosity if i cant find a quote for new units cheap enough.

I have 4 dg units that have blown and wondered if it's some how possible to remove the moisture from the inside of a double glazed unit rather than buy new units.This will only be a temporary fix as I plan to fit new windows when funds allow. I thought about drilling 2 holes one in the top...

About a year ago I replaceed the drum bearings on my Hoover quatro system 1300 ws136 washer/dryer. When I had the drum out I detatched 2 rubber push fit hoses that were held in place with some type of sealant. when re-attaching these hoses to the plastic outer drum I applied a little silicone...
