Thanks for your help guys. I kind of assumed there was a problem there. Luckily we have a service agreement on the CH, so I'll give them a call :) Thanks again to both of you for your replies. Tony.

Hi, We had a Baxi Combi 130 HE boiler installed about 7 years ago and apart from a couple of burner problems over the years all has been well. Lately however I've noticed that although the boiler's on it's Summer setting, the radiators are often warm - not hot, just warm. Is this normal...

Hi all, We're considering fitting some roof windows in order to make the loft space more usable. It won't be an extra room but with some natural daylight it will be more useful. Anyway, I thought I'd throw out the general topic of roof windows; does it have to be Velux? People's experience...

Thanks for all your advice. Now I know that it shouldn't be a problem, as long as I let the adhesive and grout dry thoroughly before turning on the heat. Shouldn't be a problem, after all Summer is nearly here! :D

Hi all, I am refitting the bathroom at the moment. I was pondering the pros and cons of tiling behind the radiator. It wouldn't be a problem to do so because the room is currently a blank canvas, I was actually wondering if tiling behind a heat source like a radiator could lead to problems at...

Hi all, A quick question I'd like to run past everyone; Is it better to tile a wall before or after fitting wall cabinets? We're decorating the bathroom and will be fitting base units to house the basin and WC (these of course will be fitted before tiling), above which will be a run of...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good concealed cistern? I'm completely gutting the bathroom and starting again from scratch so there's no need to worry about needing one of a certain physical size. I've looked at Grohe, Geberit and Dudley so far but I can't decide...

Hi folks, We're thinking about giving our bathroom an extensive makeover and were wondering about replacing the bath with a really excellent high quality walk-in shower (we haven't got room for both). Now I know that all the estate agents say that removing the bath will lower the resale...

Good point Alastair, I'll certainly do that! Tony.

Hi again, Just found this site: http://www.rooflite.com/ and they have a series of videos showing the installation of a roof window. Tony.

Hi all, I'm considering fitting a couple of Velux windows into the roof of our two story house, and was wondering if this is a project that a fairly experienced DIY'er could manage (with a couple of willing helpers)? The main issue is that access to the exterior of the roof is difficult on...
