Hope this is not too silly a question but do you buy the same size bath panel as the bath only I have seen 1700 bath panels that state compatible with 1600 baths. Also do all front bath panels fit a standard bath as some online state they match a certain bath that they stock ? Thanks in advance

I have a large attic bedroom that is very cold. When i moved in the house there was an outset fire and no central heating in there. I have since extended the heating which is run off a combi boiler up to the attic. The outset fire was condemmed and after having the flue inspected this week I...

Thank you very much for all the information provided regarding this. After hearing your opinions I have come to the sad conclusion that unfortunately electric is the only way forward. How do people get away with fitting these unsafe flues I wonder!

I think the gas fitter checked that the fire below - 2 floors on ground floor was not coming from the same chimney. I held a smoke pellet in the downstairs room while he went back up to the attic and said it was ok no visible smoke. could there be two chimneys or is it definately coming from the...

The gas fitter didn't say anything about enlarging the opening. The house was built in the 1930s but the attic was converted with building regs in I think 1990. When I bought the house in 2001 the fire there was an outset. At that time there was no central heating in the attic. I have since had...

A gas engineer told me that I had to have an outset fire as that was the only type that would fit my flue. I had the feeling he wasn't too certain as he kept ringing his boss to try and explain this. I don't understand chimneys - see photos in album and have no idea if he is right. The fire I...

I have tried again to upload the photos. If they do not appear they are in my album if you click on my name. Thank you for your continued help!!

Thank you for your reply. I have taken a few photos and hopefully this will help to remedy this. The thought of paying hundreds of pounds for a fire thaqt looks in my opinion quite ugly is depressing. Can someone tell me what sort of flue this is. The gas engineer who came this morning said that...

I have an attic bedroom with a gas supply for a fire. There was one in place when I bought the house. The fire was condemmed and taken away. I am now about to replace it but have been told I have to have an outset fire (after buying the wrong fire!) The ones I have seen are not very attractive...

Hello, I have a mixer shower in an ensuite in an attic bedroom. This has only been installed for a year and will only give off hot water when the central heating is on. The combi boiler is on the upstairs floor powering up to the attic. Do I need a shower pump or is it something else. Driving...

It is a Worcester combi boiler.

Hi, Yes this is run off a combi boiler. Is it a problem with the boiler then?

Hello, I have a mixer shower in an attic bedroom. The boiler is one floor below in the bathroom. The shower seems to take a long time to get hot and then more often than not when you are in it the hot starts to run cold. I have to stand away and wait for the water to heat up again. The...

Thanks for your replies. The en suite is in an attic comversion above the original bathroom. A hole has been cut out of the bathroom ceiling to do the plumbing under the shower cubicle. This was fine as I was having a new ceiling in the original bathroom once the en suite was completed. When I...

I am wondering if there are any plumbers in Cardiff that have not trained at the school for cowboys. I don't have a ranch and hate country music but cowboys seem to seek me out! Seriously I have one half finished bathroom that is unusable and an en suite with a leaking shower cubicle. This...

I am just about to renovate my small bathroom. I like the idea of a freestanding bath but this would be along the main wall. Can I have a shower with this. I don't understand whether there is a possible shower screen option or is it a round shower rail with curtain that would have to go with...
