Hi all we have a large water tank in the loft that sits right in the middle of what would be useful usable space. I am keen to move it to one of the sides (up next to the gable wall). A) do I need such a giant tank - is there a visible way to discern this? B) how can I be sure by moving...

Hi all. Water inlet appears in the old kitchen and then dissapears into the wall. Its then a mystery how it appears in the loft to fill the water tank - seems to appear out of the loft boards at the section of a stud wall. Anyway, its a 1930's house - is it at all possible the pipe is...

Hello all I have a Aqualisa (type2 480w hmax 3bar) shower pump. It has suddenly lost all - it engaged on turning on the shower but the pressure is lost (ie the flow rate completely gone to not much more than a dribble). I remember this happened last year but it sorted itself out. Any...

Ok - well next door has one so I am taking that as a good sign that the pressure is ok?

I am talking about hot water rather than the rads - ie i thought the megaflo creates the pressure?

wow - the system I want is a vented system so I suspect the risk isnt as high

Tony Do you mean that the expansion vessel could sit to the side? As one of the issues I have is that the space I want to put it downstairs (ie if i dont move to loft) is where existing water cylinder is and it has restricted head height - so having expansion vessell to the side (rather than...

Hi all I have a traditonal vented system with a large water tank in the loft and a hot water tank on the first floor. We also have a noisy shower pump that wakes up the kids! House has 2 bathrooms / 4 beds. Boiler is oil powered - a Boulter Camray I'm keen to use the space in the loft and...

Hi My garage floor is a concrete one that has some craters in it from years of dropped hammers and tools. I've filled up the big holes with concrete but now want to create a more uniform and flat finish (possibly to the paint). Was thinking of dropping down some leveling compound but...

Not quite right - they had 6 tonnes of soil left over in the last job (apparently they dug a hole and put the sand it it).

hi all - i haver 6 ton of loose sharp sand on my drive left over from a paving job. Any innovative ideas how I can get rid of it (short of hiring a skip and spading it in). I'm in Hemel. Darrenh

Hi all I have a slight problem. I’ve dug out an area for a patio ready for the subbase – the final level of the paving stone will have me level for the majority of the lawn area (including a 1:80 slope down to lawn). However, over to the left, the area of lawn is quite a lot higher –...

as if by magic, that worked! another question - can you reccomend anythign for a very minor leak on the male rad insert? there is a slight drip but i cant go for the hike of taking it all off again.

Hi all - see picture below. I have installed the radiator in red (toilet) today. Having turned boiler back on (all rads bled etc), no heat is getting to this new rad at all. I have questioned whether rads can work by having the hot water go from the gorund floor to the upstairs and...

yes it has a 6A MCB (and all covered by an RCD). thanks D

Guys I noticed when taking a look at the extractor fan in the loft (fan is sat in loft and has flexy tube to bathroom) that it is wired into the lighting ring main (it comes on when the light is turned on). IS this correct? I want to replace it with a new fan as it is prettu unpowerful...

Hi all I need to replace the extactor fan that is sucking steam out of my bathroom. Well, not sucking steam - as it doesnt do anything! Anyway, the actual fan is situated in the loft around about 1m away from the grill in the ceiling of the bathroom. There is then another 2 metres or...
