Thanks Will the top just pull off once unscrewed? That is if there's enough room to pull it off

That is what I think I will prob have to do I've just tried turning the valve off and wiggling the rad to the right as much as I can but still not enough to get washer out The trv is a mistral any idea how to get the head off as that may give enough play to get the damn machine out

No I haven't tried that I'll give it a go see if it helps The plan is definitely to turn it around so its vertical

It cannot go any further back either That was the first thing I tried

Yes I need a bit of clearance to pull the mashing out on an angle Obviously I don't need massive clearance but I do need some which with the location of the valve makes it impossible I'm going to see if I can wiggle the rad to the right slightly to see if it give me enough room to get the...

The trv valve is butted right up to the machine there is no wiggle room either side Right side is the wall and other side it is butted up to the sink unit I'm open to ideas as to how to get it out But as mentioned above I see that as the only feasible option other than dismantling the...

Yes quite a nightmare really I was thinking I may swap the valves areound Would it make a difference to the operation of rad in question? Unfortunately there is no vertical pipe close as they run horizontal above the concrete floor so will have to make sure water is all out and dry I'm...

Yup unfortunately it is the sink unit and whole shibang next to the washer!! The valve does have arrows on it which leads me to believe it is bi directional because the arrows are on both sides So the general feeling here is: 1. Drain system from the drain point 2. Remove the trv...

Need a bit of guidance we had central heating fitted a few years ago now, but I now have an issue. The tit who fitted it has put the valves on the kitchen rad right next to the washer. The washer now needs replacing but because the trv and drain point are so close to the washer I cannot remove...

It prob kicks out 20-30mm yeah

Thanks again for taking the time to reply The cladding is plastic and I used the hollow soffit board I get what you mean about using facia board as the trim The only bit I don't understand is to allow for where the cladding kicks out at the bottom You don't mean to cut the trim...

thanks for the reply big all im not sure i understand/follow what you mean though. i dont suppose you could break it down to idiot proof could you please i sort of caught your drift in the begining but then lost the plot i think thanks

added image to illustrate what i mean as you can see the side of the dormer is feathered out at the bottom i need to trim from the window frame across the timber to make it water tight but because it is feathered out at the bottom i cant figure out the best way to do it

I have successfully fitted a replacement dormer window I have also clad the sides to match the window But am having a problem trying to sort out the trim from the window over the wooden frame to meet the side cladding I have used hollow sofit boards and edge trim to clad the sides now on...

Thanks for the reply I did have that same idea this morning as well Luckily once the window went in there was e ought room to jiggle it about and even the frames up I know have the most joyous of jobs trying to make the whole dormer watertight from the outside which will be no easy task...

I used wickes for years but went into Jewsons with a price list and they beat all the prices by a fair way Problem with builders merchants is you need to haggle to start off with on the prices, once you do get the terms set up and happy days also my local Jewsons give trade accounts free...

The reason pva is suggested by some is because of the dust can be hard to remove it all and prevent the adhesive from sticking The general rule in my neck of the woods and the way I was tought was to use a very very weak mix of pva on old walls to be dabbed so the pva doesn't skin and prevent...
