    replaceing a radiator

    This isn't an exact science, bearing in mind that the flow can be adjusted. If the radiator is more-or-less the correct size for the room, I would simply replace it, trying to get one with the same wall fixings. But you'll be lucky if you can avoid doing some minor plumbing.

    How to get to tap washers?

    Can't see why you would want to take off the white caps, there's nothing underneath, they're simply labels to distinguish hot from cold...

    Outside drain blocked

    We have this problem from time to time, even though we try hard to avoid any fat or waste going down the sink. The problem is that there are always traces of fat. You'll probably have to use chemicals, or buy/rent a backward facing jet thingy.

The arris rail and its ends must be treated, and the problem is that you can't get at them unless you are on good terms with your neighbour. Often they simply let...

    Fence advice required

    Glow-worm Fuelsaver 45F fan

    It turns out that the correct part number is 417135, and I managed to locate a re-conditioned fan unit. I've now done the job and I'm very happy to say the boiler is now working well and is quieter than it's ever been !

    Thinking about new heating system

    Rather than thinking of 10kW to heat the water to heat the radiators, why not have a few spare fan heaters to use in different parts of the house when necessary?
