my moms just had a boiler fitted by a corgi plumber, he says he only has to give her a receipt saying he fitted it, surely there must be some certificate? whats the general procedure? Thanks Andy

Im not a plumber but i did my own central heating system, using a 22mm send and return, branching off to 8 decent output rads with 10mm microbore, works a treat, also looks really neat as the pipes come out the wall behind the rad and not up from the floor. One tip though, use inserts and...

Thanks Tony, i just dont want massive gas bills and since im not in all day i really dont want the boiler on during these hours. With regards to the balti, i know London has many cultures but you know you cant beat a brum Balti, not sure about the black wpc though Andy

High guys, just installed a salus rf thermostat/programmer to a ferroli f30b, which seems to work ok. Just a couple of quick questions which the manual is a little short on. Below is a link to the stat http://www.salus-tech.com/rt500rf.htm The unit has built in frost protection, do i...

thanks guys, looked for what agile was talking about, everything looked ok. Got a plumber coming next week to look. Thanks

hi guys, i have only noticed it on the bathroom and kitchen taps, if this helps, so whats the general consensus, is this damaging the boiler Thanks Andy

yes mate, when the heating is on ie the pump is pumping hot water around and you turn the cold tap on and then off the heating goes into standby for 2-3 minutes, is this normal, if not is it easily fixed? Andy

hi guys just moved into a house with a ferroliu f30b installed and have noticed that when the heating is on and you turn the cold tap on the heating goes into standby mode when the cold tap is turned off. Is this right? Cheers Andy

seen loads of black gloss kitchens done with wood effect laminate worktops, some of the walnut designs look great. On another note make sure you see a sample of the door you are getting as black is very bad for telegraphing on vinyl wrapped doors. So make sure you are happy with it Andy

hi, yes i have a guarentee on them but as its coming from the unit itself, surely it cant be the installers fault?, ie what could he have done as to why water wold come into the actual window. This is definately not a flashing issue. Can these veluxes be adjusted once fitted, the one in...

Hi mate, thanks for the reply as i said the other velux is fine and is fitted exactly the same. so i dont know whats up with it

Hi guys, about 6 months ago i had 2 velux windows installed in a new extension, i have just moved in and i have noticed that one of them lets water in. If you can imagine the internal jamb, water seems to pool there and the run down the one corner of the frame, there is not alot of water and...

hi oilman, the grain does fell raised so i presume the top will be ok. I have ordered tung oil and cascamite for edges and joints, is this ok. Do you know where i can appliance moisture barriers for over a washing machine or dishwasher. Thanks

Hi, guys my dad and i fitted my kitchen on the weekend and cut the solid oak worktops and laid them on top of the units ready for oiling etc. Today the plumber was fitting a surestop stop tap and snapped the end off the stop tap. The result a spray of water over the unfinished worktop. I...

Hi, im fitting my solid oak worktop this weekend and have been reading about a moisture barrier to go above washing machines and dishwashers, does anyone know where to get this and is it commonly used? Also i read that you hve to use a different screw to fix it down so it doesnt react with...

Thanks for that, can you refer me to any particular brand and where to get it from. Thanks Andy

Hi guys, the industry standard boiler housingis 900mm tall, 600mm wide and 400mm deep. You can then fit an 895x595 standard kitchen door. Boiler housings are constructed with a 150mm top rail and usually a full bottom panel. You need to get some wall unit hangers which the cab will just rest...

you would probably be better to biscuit joint it. Or you can use a pucket screw, ie going in at an angle. Andy

Hi, guys i managed to sort out an oak worktop for my kitchen and have read conflicting info on the best oil to use on it. I just wandered what people around here would use/recommend. Thanks Andy
