Good morning, a little guidance would be appreciated if anyone has the time. System details .. -Potterton Netaheat 10-16 boiler -HW cylinder in the loft -Pump located in the bathroom, directly above the boiler -It looks like there is a 2 port valve fitted but its stuck open. If hot water...

Does it have to be new ? A year old BMW 335d or 2 year old 535d is a significantly better car than the A3 for £25k. Alternatively get a BMW 330d for less.

Hi Cna anyone advise if and where I can buy 4 Espagnolette lock mechanisms in London ? Windows not locking properly and I'd like to get sorted before winter. Thanks very much

Not without having to raise thre legs and potnetially mess up the kitchen alignment. Waste of money too - whos going to see under your units anyway ? Each 600x600 base unit covers about £115 worth floor.

We've just had similar completed. The entire back of the house opened up plus half the right hand side. in the pic below the previous house ended where the columns are. The engineer required 4x900mm cube padstones to be put in under each column. In total 9 RSJs were required. I...

Well, we laid an oil finished, engineered floor a month ago. Since then it seems to have 'dried' out quite a bit. It been cleaned a couple of times using diluted CIF wood floor cleaner and a damp mop. Skirting boards were also cut in the room so did get a good coat of sawdust. My wife...

OK, I will leave a gap where the threshold is. Out of interest, and to help anyone reading this in future, would you mind explaining the mechanics around leaving this gap ? Thanks again, really appreciate that you're giving advice even though the flooring hasn't been bought from your company.

Sorry WYL I'm a bit confused. Is a threshold required if opening is less than 3/5 or more than 3/5 of the room width ? ie. on the diagram below the doorway/opening is about 1.5m wide (marked in green). The back section is approx 10m wide and the hallway on the otherside of the opening approx...

Thanks for the feedback todate - much appreciated. I have a couple of final questions . . . This floor is planned to be laid floating. Is an expansion gap at the threshold between hall and back room an absolute must, or, can I get away with a straight run of flooring. It will be over a...

Just to resurrect this. Here is a pic of where it is going. The area is approx 63 sq/m and I've chosen a 189mmx1860mm engineered oak which I intend to lay using the floating method with glued T&Gs. There will be a threshold between the hallway and the 'back' area of the house. The...

This was originally MFI product. Still made by the old manufacturing company which now only supplies Howden Joinery.

In my experience, if its a public sewer Thames Water won't allow you to have te manhole inside the property. There must be some outside access to it. We have 2 manholes, on one the drive and another behind the garage. An extension is being built and we've had to move the manhole which is now...

Who is the fine from ? A traffic warden cannot fine you for not having road tax can he/she ? I've been stopped twice by police while waiting for the DVLA to end a disc through (I'd bought online). Never had a fine. I'd appeal it if I were you. Ask what jurisdiction the warden has for...

Just a standard flat roof. Out of interest, what is a warm roof. Sunseeker quoted £5k+vat and that wasn't with the 'Celsius' solar glass which supposedly keeps things cooler when the sun shines directly on the glass.

Isn't it the local water authority, not the council, who deals with this ?

Just an update to this, in case it helps anyone in future. The doors were installed last week. It took 3 hours because we had a clean opening. Frames Direct were nothing but professional throughout and only requested the final payment, 2/3s, when we were happy with the job. The quality &...
