Hi Bon Yeah there's roof space, and i did consider moving the tank up there but was advised against it. I was considering replacing the tank anyway (as i think a combi boiler might be too hard to fit) so it may be just as well moving it up there. A friend recommended i look at "smart...

I understand your point however, this is only a really small house (2 up, 2 down) and there is just myself and girlfriend - for a family home its very impractical. The header tank lives in the bedroom taking up quite a lot of space that could be used as a wardrobe/storage and to open the room...

I thought as much, thanks for the quick reply. In that case, any recommendations on Washing Machine brands? Thanks Kev

Hello This isn't so much of a problem more advice seeking than anything. I'm in the process of buying a new washing machine amongst other things, the problem is that we don't have the room for a washing machine and dryer so - do i buy a washer dryer? I've heard many bad things about them...

Thanks for all your comments. I've over budgeted on most things and it comes to less than the £3k i'm looking to spend but things don't always go to plan but fingers crossed. I think the most costly part will be replacing the boiler and taking out the hot water cylinder (from what i've...

Hi guys Thanks for all your help Kev

Sorry, wrong forum...

Hi folks This may be a stupid question to ask, but i'll ask it anyway. I'm going to tile the kitchen floor (currently lino) and put a new kitchen in while i'm at it (as you do), would you tile the whole of the floor first or would you tile up to and around the units (i.e. put the kitchen in...

Yeah, bog is still in the back garden. Will look to change that soon as the frost is becoming a pain in the backside, pardon the pun. Ok, basically, i think i'll get rid of the existing boiler and cylinder and put in a combi boiler (well, a plumber will). Can anyone offer some advice please...

Hi I think mainly i'm after a bit of advice as i don't really know anything about plumbing but would like to know what to find information about. Basically, in my house i have a bog standard boiler in the kitchen and a water tank in the master bedroom. Its a 2 bedroom house and one...

Hi I have a problem with my central heating system, every day now the pressure drops and i have to keep on topping up the system (both morning and evening). I\\\'ve checked all the pipes to and from radiators and there is no sign of moisture anywhere. I\\\'ve done a quick scan of pipes in...

No, its a soft water area. Its been a gradual thing over time but only noticeably over the past year or so. I looked on the Mira shower and its a 9kW unit. Heads have been cleaned and i've looked down the pipe which connects the shower head to the wall unit and there's no sign of any...

Managed to get a new pendant wired up in place of the ceiling fan (my gf's dad came to the rescue). When i removed the old fan, there was 4 sets of wires protruding from the ceiling - one for the switch, one live in and one out plus another live circuit! I've read somewhere that this isn't...

Hi I'm having some problems with the showers in both bathrooms at my parents home. The house is only 5 years old and when we moved the pressure of water coming from both showers was really high, now its just borderline medium and barely reaches your body. There is no obvious signs of...

Hi I'd just like a bit of advice as i'm wanting to replace a ceiling fan in my bedroom with a bog standard single light fitting. Is this easy to do or are there possible complications and is there anything i need to watch out for (apart from getting zapped!!!)? I'm also wanting to put the...
