LOL :lol:

All very good points thanks and I can now be confident of getting the job done right.. Cheers. PS. - Is there any scrap value in the copper tank? :)

Incoming water cold mains water flow is 14L/min measured off kitchen tap. Is that sufficient not to be frustrating slow for filling bath etc?

Having a combi fitted as the we need to loose the tanks and cisterns for some house mod. plans we have. Good question on flow rate! He didnt check but I will tomorrow.. Cheers.

Hijacked post! :-) Nice photos! Does that Atmos boiler sell for around £1700? It looks like a smart idea but a bit too rich for me at the mo. Rgds, Scott.

Cheers Dan. I had already bought the TRV's (and some extra lagging) with a view to those bits of the job myself in a room by room renovation I was doing... I suppose that this accelerates the whole process. I do understand the limits of the hot water. It will not be as 'good' as the HW...

I had my old normal boiler condemned today - Friday 13th and all that... :? Having a WB Greenstar 30CDi fitted in Monday and the tanks and cisterns removed. Few questions. 1) We have an 'average size' four bed semi-detached with one bathroom + one downstairs wc/basin and small ensuite...

Hi Matty. I'll have a look around. If woodyoulike (or similar) have what I'm after and the price is reasonable then l'm always happy to pay a small margin for good advice and good service. Cheers again.

Thanks Matty. Had the carpets up last night. All seems well in the that respect.... Now the only question is where to get a good deal on some decent quality kit! Rgds, Scott

Hello all. Ive been trawling around the forum and getting lots of essential info thanks to woodyoulike and his/her fellow tradesmen. I think I am almost there but I just wanted to check.. I am laying engineered oak throughout downstairs. The current floor is 1930's floorboards and more...

Thanks for the inpu tGents. Chris. Since posting that I found your helpful response on a similar question where you advised gluing some thin lagging around the pipe and try to avoid any joints by using a pipe bender if possible. I also saw the method using the flexi conduit from...

I need to chase rad pipes into a 100mm thick breeze wall as my SO. would like one of the fancy rads, and would like the full 'hotel look' with pipes coming from the wall. :roll: The pipes have to travel up behind skirting and up about 8" behind plaster. What's the best way to do that...

Im not a tradesman but... I've used nice hardwood thresholds to great effect to get different level floors to look well finished. Thick tiles to low varnished floorboards....carpet to laminate...you name it...a nicely finished threshold the same width as the door in a suitable wood always...

You know what Matty. I might do just what you suggest. The 'two of each' approach will probably work but ... you know one day that you will need another hdmi or cat5.... Plus Im loathed to spend cash on cables that I may never use. Any road ...in conclusion I may run them in trunking...

Thanks Big-All. I understand that its not that flexible but neither is the position of furniture in our tiny sitting room! :-) PVC skirting board trunking would be ideal but the wife hates the look of it (and Im not that keen either). The big issue is that I need to be able to pull new...

Very shallow void under the floor! Also I have not yet put this new floor down so the oppportunity to make a neat access solution is where I am at. I need an accessible trunking system as I trial different AV set ups quite frequently and hence cabling needs to change...

Hello forum! I need an access trap in the new engineered oak floor I will lay in a living room. Only small - say 100mm by 100mm. It will go behind the TV cabinet and will be used to pull through VGA, network, coax and speaker cables that will run under the floor in 100mm X 75mm plastic...

I've just done the same job. 6mm ply nailed down with annular ringed 20mm nails. Ply was the cheapest the timber merchant had. Carpet fitted in top and it seems fine. 6mm is everywhere and is usually price watched. For a small ensuite with tiles I have done the same using 6mm but also...

Hi Breezer. I realise its down to the individual but I wondered what you guys would think. I will not fill in the trench if you had all said that none of you would have accepted it... Know what I mean? Thanks again folks. Appreciate it.

The cable is plenty big enough....from what I remember. I bought it ages ago and vaugely remember getting 'bigger than I needed'. If the sparky isnt happy with the cable size then that is my expensive mistake! If photos aren't good enough I can do video and maybe 3D holograms at push ;-)...
