    Question about boiler/shower combo

    It's not essential, it all depends on the demand. I have a combi and we have 2 bathrooms and a kitchen and it is fine. Mainly because I use my downstairs bathroom whilst everyone else is still in bed, my wife and kids use the upstairs bathroom when they get up. Admittedly it might get trickier...

    What Adjustable Spanners?

    Hi All, Have recently passed my C&G Level 2 and am shortly to start on my gas. I'm currently out doing small jobs at the weekends until I finish work and start learning the plumbing ropes full time. I'm starting to build up my tool kit and at the moment only have some cheap adjustable spanners...

    Breaking up Concrete Drive for Block Paving

    Yeah I'd planned on buying one of these, got the Titan SDS and that was fantastic for knocking out the drive for the new waste, especially for the 50 odd quid it cost me. I was even looking at buying a whacker plate on EBay, that way I could do the drive in sections rather than trying to hire...

    Breaking up Concrete Drive for Block Paving

    Mmm, thanks, I'll try and do some sums!! With regards to laying the blocks, we're not having a pattern, going for irregular sized blocks, in my mind this seems easier rather than trying to lay the same size blocks in say a herringbone pattern. Am I still wrong in thinking this is easier than...

    Breaking up Concrete Drive for Block Paving

    Breaking up Concrete Drive for Block Paving

    Hi All, After the relative success of laying my first patio - 40m2 of Indian Stone, I now want to have a go at doing our driveway. I'm just at the planning stage at present, not 100% sure of if, or when to tackle it!! Is block paving easier than slabs as you lay onto sand rather than a...

    Swapping a SALUS Wireless Thermostat for a Honeywell

    Hi, We currently have a Salus wireless thermostat wired to our Vaillant boiler, unfortunately it's completely hopeless and even yesterday during our mini heatwave the heating was on full blast!! Having had enough of it I've decided to replace it with the Honeywell 5+2 wireless thermostat, as...

    Temperature control knob on Vaillant eco Tec Plus

    Hi All, Guess what.....I have the same problem! Radiator temp control has snapped off. I will call Vaillant today and will post how I got on. I understand the points about having your boiler set up correctly, and therefore not needing to use the manaul controls on the boiler itself...

    Adding Additional Loft Lights

    Yeah same switch, will it not be a bit crammed in the pendant? Seems like the simpleast solution though but thought I'd ask anyway! Cheers!

    Adding Additional Loft Lights

    Hi, I want to add some loft lights...in our loft. There is one light at the moment on a fixed pendant, this is situated centrally above the loft hatch. I want to add 2 more lights to each far end of the loft. What would you say would be the easiest way to do this when the switch and...

    HELP - Sockets wont work with an Iron!?!?!?!?!

    Hi, Tried to iron something today and the iron didn't work. Popped down to Robert Dyas and bought a brand spanking new one and....that doesn't work either. I'm no mathmatician but the chances of it being the irons themselves is slim and so I think it is the electrics. I've tried all...
