For example, I am not askin how to adjust the pressure for the replacement aps for that particular boiler, but can someone tell me if this sort I thing is standard for a certified engineer/plumber too know? I.e. someone is not just gonna roll up, fit the part and leave it in a possible unsafe...

Errr, I am not, if you read my last post then you will know this! I was asking how to tell or check what a certified person should be doing and the costs to get it done.

Funnily enough though, I actually agree with general advice that my dad shouldn't fit this part himself and should get someone in to do it. Therefore what are the risks when changing the APS, which I can then use to convince I'm to get someone in to do it. And that's apart from it being...

Cheers. There is a replacement part for the original. Just I had read a few things saying it was not quite a drop in part. But of course, there is no such thing as a common aps that will do the job for any boiler. I had read that it seems hard to get any certified engineers out for this...

You know what, usually I find people on this site happy to be of help, shame the same can't be said here eh! Slagging off someone's competence when you don't even know them, just for asking for clarification or information is childish and not helpful. Which makes me question why you bother to...

Fair enough I bow I your superior judgement on the fitting. As I said though, would still be nice to know if there are any differences in fitment and wiring though, do any information would be greatly received.

Cheers! I am one if those people who like to be fore warned and forearmed with information so like to do my research before coming across any issues! Seeing as the original Honeywell part is no longer available (or so I am told) I have done some checking and found that someone else, one...

So you have any details for the replacement part, such as make, if it's a direct figment or slightly different wiring etc? I appreciate what you are saying and as a diy'r (both me and dad, though it was him who both designed and fitted the entire heating system), I guess it sounds like its...

I am hoping someone can help me. My Dad has a Potterton Netaheat Electronic 16-22 boiler which has developed the apparently common issue with the air pressure switch, meaning every know and then it fails to run and he has to take the tube off and blow down it to reset the switch. More...

I have just laid some Gulf Stone Black Opal quartz (resin comglomerate) tiles in my ensuite and did a load of research on adhesive. Recommendation would be to use BAL PTB Flexible as it has a low water content in the mix. Apparently these resin mix tiles can be sussesptable to cupping once...

cheers mate - any advice is appreciated and I would never "hold" you to anything. If I get it wrong, then is my problem! But you can never have too much advice I say!

cheers tictac. I spoke to Lithofin and they recommended MN powerclean and then MN stainstop. Does anyone know how these compare to the products Topps Tiles sells - or even if Topps sells Lithofin products?

Could someone tell me which would be the best tile cleaner and then sealer for some black opal tiles (Gulf Stone conglomerate quartz resin). I understand Lithofin seem to be around the best, but they have so many different products its hard to choose! I presume you clean + seal before...

you could life the floor boards in this room and replace with 25mm WBP ply? Though I am not sure if the same thickness ply is more bendy than the same thickness in pine floorboards (thinking 18mm here not 25)! How about using a Ditra matting on top and belt and braces - this will help reduce...

Just spoke to Porcelanosa and they say that for large tiles such as these (600 mm long x 300mm) then a small amount of bowing is normal (minor) but that they don't recommend laying large tiles in a brick bond as this would then be noticeable. Which I can understand. So, is this really the...

About a year ago I bought some Porcelanosa Marmi Blanco 600x300 rectified tiles to put up in my ensuite, but due to a couple of reasons I was unable to fit them at the time. Now, I am getting geared up to fit them and I though I would give them a check over. It seems that when I look down...

These people are a little cheaper. http://www.tilefixdirect.com/category/bal.html

seems that the depth of insulation is much higher than the roof joist height! (as expected I guess in a new build!). So, whats the best way of building up the height of the joists? Is the only real way to span a new length of say 6x2 or whatever depth from one side to the other and fix at...

if you have got access to it, then Microsoft Visio is great at doing all this layout thingy. Thats what I have used. You can download a trial from the microsoft site which I think is good for 90 days or somthing.

crikey, thats detailed!! Its only for general storage (light) and not "living" on! Will see what its like once up there and see how big joists are etc.
