You can't fit an 1800mm patio frame into a 1780mm opening, also as it looks like a patiomaster or similar brand then the frame is probably welded as opposed to machanically joined at the corners, tis means you cant reduce the frame on site as it'll need to be cut at the corners and re-welded in...

It's a 1400mm K2 rad on 15mm pipes. It's at the far rear of the property and is the end of a run, it doesn't return back to the boiler, it's on a loop of 3 rads and 1 towel warmer. This loop returns back to a manifold under the floor in the hallway. The manifold is in 10mm as is the rest of the...

Hello, One of my radiators isn't getting hot, when I turn off one of the other radiators it does get hot but this still leaves me with one cold rad. It's the furthest rad from the boiler, it was the last to be added to the system when I did part of my ongoing renovation a couple of years ago...

Maybe an optical illusion but it looks like the bottom is dipping down to the right, and don't you just hate it when the manufacturers are too lazy or inconsiderate to have the window handles pointing to the outer frame!

Bump (sorry :oops: ) I'll be using cavity batts from that point upwards but what (if anything) goes in the gap between the lean mix fill to the dpm/cavity tray? Read more: http://www.diynot.com/forums/building/cavity-wall-filling.377060/#2883917#ixzz2fPptD3W9

Hi I'm building my extension and have got to the stage where I'm about to pour the concrete slab but have a question about the cavity fill. I have filled upto 225mm below dpc with lean mix, construction notes say to dress dpm over inner leaf and down 150mm in cavity then across to external...

True the rack does need replacing but do I want to pay a garage to replace it that may have caused damage in the first place? And is there price of £410 for a reconditioned rack a fair one?

Sorry to bang on about this but I'm just trying to get my head around it, so basically if the pipes are worn to the extent that they're about to brake, snap, pop, burst or whatever the garage means when they say they're "gone" Doesn't that mean they would be seen to be worn at the time of the...

Just seems too much of a coincidence to me that the minute it leaves the garage the van develops a new fault, I was already pi**ed off as I'd only took it for an MOT and all of a sudden I get a call saying " The wishbones have gone" so I get new wishbones then 4 weeks later I get "The steering...

I also smell the rat, it stinks! I don't even know what wishbones are on a van, are they anywhere near the steering fluid pipes?

Yes I should have gone back, I'm gutted I never! :cry: Just got the dreaded call from the garage, they said the pipes connected to the steering rack have gone and you can't get new ones so I need a complete steering rack! She said Vauxhall want £750 for a new one or they (garage) could fit...

Hi all this is my first post and I'm not clued up on vehicle mechanics at all so please excuse me if my post is vague! I recently took my vivaro for an MOT and the garage said it needed new wishbones, had them replaced but ever since the van hasn't been right. I noticed the next day that when...

Thanks for the replies! They are internal walls I was intending to use foil backed boards for the ceiling as I'll be building an en-suite above the hall (eventually) so just thought to use them as an extra precaution.

I'm in the middle of a refurb at home and currently have the hall walls back to bare brick. Just wondering if I should use insulated plasterboard or not? I'll use foil backed for the ceiling screwed to the timber but am not sure about the walls. Would there be much benefit to using insulated...

I'm doing a flat roof extension and the architects papers say I need to fix the 8 x 3 joists down with 3 inch truss clips. I've rang all the local builders yards and they all say they can't get them, only 38mm and 50mm. Tried ringing the architect to ask if there's an alternative but he's not...
