Ah OK wasn't aware of that, I'll take a look around. Thanks

Hi, I'm planning on fitting new fencing in my garden, concrete posts, concrete gravel boards and feather fencing. There is one spot which is a problem though because I have an old concrete base about 7ft across near the end of the garden with an air raid shelter under it. So the base is wider...

Thanks for the response. So if the right adhesive is used then even though the heat from the pipes under the floor and also where they come out of the floor to go up to the rad is a fair bit higher than normal underfloor heating the tiles should stay put ? Amtico mention discolouration also so I...

Hi there, I have a room with a concrete floor and one edge of the floor had a channel about 2" deep chiseled in to it to feed pipped for a new radiator. The pipes were wrapped before concreted over again however that area of flooring still gets fairly hot due to the boiler pumping 65c of water...

Great thanks again for your help, much appreciated :)

Great thanks for that Dazlight, that is something like I thought would be needed. I'll have a look fibre smoothing compound, that's a new one on me.

Hi, I've had an extension on the house and the rear lounge now had about 5ft extra on it which has a new concrete floor, there used to be a bay patio window there and that was removed, it was the typical U bay shape. So the original floor board are also in the bay type shape meeting the new...

Great thanks for that. I will give the UC a very light sand I think to remove any slight imperfections and then apply the WB top coat.

Ah thanks for that, so painting water based on oil based undercoat isn't the same as over oil based top coat then ?

Hi there, I've been working on the woodwork in the front lounge. It's an old house so the woodwork took a fair while to get back to a good state. I applied a bright white water based primer about a year ago and got on with other things. In the last couple of weeks I've finally got back to the...

Yes I was thinking that put the upper and lower part of the pipe are cemented in to the wall and floor and it struck me if either end is damaged it's going to be a pain to fix.

Thanks for that, the last one looks interesting because they do customer sizes :) That looks like it would be perfect for the job. (y)

Yes it's well fixed however I move a fair bit of heavy stuff down the side alley so I'm concerned I will smash it off at some point. The cable gaurd might be an idea , that might work however I was really looking for something out of metal to take something heavy smashing in to it.

Hi, I'm looking for a gaurd/protector/cover for the runoff(?) pipe that comes out of my combi boiler. The pipe comes out of the wall in to my alley way about 2ft off the floor and goes down in to the ground, it's plastic. I'm worried that as some point I will knock it and damage it so I'm...

Hi I had a few vertical Milano rads fitted a while back, one was a replacement for a slightly older vertical rad. Since they have been fitted I've not been very impressed with the heat output and especially how slow they heat up, normally 15-25mins. The previous vertical rad gave off masses of...

I've bought a temp sensor to check the heat in and out of the rads and I plan to attempt to balance however I have also noticed something that causes the noise to die down a fair bit, probably by half. The house has a small bedroom that has two small rads in it. I don't usually have them on as...

Great thanks for the info I will dig out the article and get hold of a thermometer :) Found the balancing page : https://www.diynot.com/wiki/Plumbing:faq2
