I never looked into them any further than the website. I opted for a fully wired system with comm dialer from Response. Wired it in by myself and works perfect.

Anyone willing to give advise? I've got the insulation in the correct flat roofing spaces, but would this not be similar to a loft conversion? Although, nailing insulation boards onto the tile battons will be impossible, unless the walls came down! :(

Ok. I've drawn this up on CAD to give you an illustrated description of what I mean above. I'd like to insulate the walls in the bedroom, but with the small cavity between the roof wood and the plasterboard, it seems to be difficult to keep the ventilation flow.

My house is a 19th Century croft, where 2 bedrooms are situated upstairs and within the roof area. This is typical with the crofts. I've insulated under the floor boards downstairs and in-between the floor levels. My issue is the draughts and lack of insulation in the roof area of the...

Thanks for the reply. Yes the boiler is outside. I switched it back on before going to bed and the boiler kicked in again. Having read quite a few threads on here and opened the cupboard and manually switched off the CH valve. That shut down the boiler & pump. I'll have to look at the...

Firstly, the boiler is a old Camray oil boiler. 90/110 or something like that. Anyway, the hot water tank is Santon main pressurised. No room stats nor any TRV's on the rad's (will be upgrading to these in the summer) The programmer is CL Lifestyle LP520 During the week, we have the...

When clicking on the search, it opens near instantly, but for all other pages, it's like being back up on dial up. The top part of the pages opens at an ok speed (The blue part with the menu tabs), but it's like opening a thread with lots of pictures). I've usually to surf the net until on...

Is it just me or is this eite became very slow over the past few months? :( I haven't been on here for a while, but since coming back, it takes ages to load up a page. Its not my internet connection as all other websites loads near instantly. :)

I'm looking into getting me one of these cards, but just wanted some feedback incase it's just a scam! All of these outlets are local to me and I've alreay bought a lot of things from them, but still got lots more to purchase! Here's the website link: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Also, if the toilet pan cracks or whatever, you just unbolt it instead of smashing the tiles around it too, which you will probably not get your hands on again.

I just read about the stuff in the Screwfix thats sitting beside me! Guess thats more on the shopping list. :( As for removing the joist, that means taking down internal partitions - no way!!! I'll just battle the hard way with the edges and have to protect the joist supports in the middle...

Once again, thanks for the time to reply! I've learned a lot!!! :D lol, yeh go on and admit you've done the who sweeping things under the floor! :P :wink: Yeh, the studs that lie over the top of the old green painted L+P is infact 2 pieces, nailed together! Rough or what!!!! You...

Many thanks for that excellent reply. I take it you mean by cladding as the white sort of plaster that is covering the brick? I'll certainly do what you have said. I take it that the fibreglass bats will replace the wooden ones that is currently there? I'll surely get all of that from...

Hi. This is the current state of play in my bathroom. It did have lath and plaster surrounding the wall at the back and has still go it around the window on the right (but covered in plasterboard). As there is no insulation, I was thinking on how to get it instulated before I...

Arrrrgggg!!!! I just had a look in the Screwfix catalogue and found that elbows that you were on about. Nightmare that I never noticed them earlier. :( :cry: :cry: Oh well, does anyone want some cheap compression elbows????? :x :x Thanks for the help Chris! :D Top man. (It...

I'll give it a go! Yes, I will certainly be pressure testing the lines before I go anywhere near tiling / plastering. I've got to check out my solder joints! 8) Its just the long term that I'm thinking about. Chris, thanks for your input. That was the way I was thinking about doing...

Many thanks for the reply. :) The tape tended to bind up as I wound it in anyway. It's just that I've never used a BSP for sealing - it's either been a taper thread or compression fitting. As this will be behind the tiles, I'll always have it on the back of my mind of it leaking. ...

Hi all very helpful people! :) I've bought this manifold recently and has 3/4" BSP female outlets on each connection. It will be installed horizontally. I purchased 3 off 3/4" x 22mm Elbows to fit into the side outlets and the inlet at the top (the HOT connection). I also fitted a...

Thanks lads! Scatmanjohn, I did slightly contemplate it, but after just looking at the thickness of the wall, I turned to the roof. You may have just brought my attention back to the wall again............! :shock: :shock: It certainly is a lot better than going through the solid...

Hello all helpful people. I’m just wanting some advice. I’m just installing a entire new bathroom and will be installing a new extractor fan (doesn’t have one at the mo) As you can see from the below drawing, the only place that the fan can be placed is up through the empty void above the...
