Hi all. I've wired up a few electric gates on my current and previous houses in the UK .. but now I need to do this on a house in France. Would this follow the same process - creating a spur off the radial circuit, armored cable to the gate etc.. or does anyone know if there is further...

this link is now broken -any chance you can share again?

Hello all I attach a picture of our UFH manifold. I am having issues getting any heat out to the zones - it is calling hot water (all stata are triggering the control panel and this in turn is triggering the actuators and drawing hot water from the boiler). Once the heat passes through the...

I like the idea of the slot - what would I use? Lead? Won’t look great? And what sealant would I use?

Cannot see end grain - this it sits on a 2mm bead of sealant which sits on the stone. That sealants isn’t stopping the water ingress. Not sure if the muck would really seal - would there be a gap between wood and muck as the wood expands etc

Good idea . Will cut some channels!

John - do you mean where the base of the wood meets the stone?

Yes - that is my dilemma. Was thinking about cutting off the stone tile at the base and creating a concrete fall away or something

Was Osmo Oil. I think the issue is the stone at the bottom is not dispersing the water and pushing it away at an angle. So water is coming back under to the base of the wood

Hello all The oak pillars that my porch are sat on are showing signs that concern me after 18 months after build. They are sat on some stone tiles but water is penetrating. Any advice as to how to fix this? I need some way of keeping the water away from the base... what would the professional...

Hello all ... need some help to drain down a zone on my central heating (so i can fit a new rad where the old one is). Freezing pipes not an option as feed coming out of the tiles floor. So ... I have a complicated set up where the kitchen zone is controlled with an actuator. There is a second...

hello all - I have managed to puncture a 20p sized hole in the size of my wood burner flue liner - which sits inside of my chimney stack. Any recommendations around how to repair - I have full access as the puncture is a result of creating a hole in the chimney stack to repair the bricks...

this is hugely helpful. I actually have a bayonet to screw converter - it sits in the bayonet fitting but hosts a US bulb. From a practical perspective, what would I actually need to do to make this work - are you saying I would need to simply change the plug from a UK to a US one? There is...

I think the title says it all. I have moved to the USA and I have some UK lamps that I would really like to keep. Would it be straightforward to have them converted? What does it take?

Sorry this might be obvious but what does a new tank give me? This one is 7-8 years old and I am still left with the issue above?

You mean a megaflow type system

How do I check this? Is there a setting on the oil boiler or is it a single temp? Thanks

My electricity bill is killing me ... but the oil bill aint much better. I have an oil boiler that heats the water in the hot water tank. I also have an immersion in there. Attached is a Tapstat Cylinder Control to regulate the heat of the water. Issue - I constantly use the Immersion as...

I can confirm. :-)

The second gang is probably historic.. The room has changed over the years. I wired it up and left the yellow out of the circuit. It seems to work fine. Yellow is safely terminated.
