There's no label on the cylinder so I don't know what make it is, but it has a Drayton thermostat if that is any indication...

I've bled all the rads, but they were all fine (water only). I originally suspected that it might be a pump noise but I can't find one! I do not know for sure if it is an unvented system, but that would be my guess. How can I find out for sure? I will check the name on the cylinder tonight. I...

I am a central heating novice and so I'm hoping someone can help me... This morning my Central Heating/Hot Water system woke me making a continuous mooing/moaning sound. The sound seems to be coming from the upstairs airing cupboard which houses the hot water tank and programmer. When I...

Both. It's just a ceiling suspended beneath an un-insulated, un-waterproofed pitched roof!

I have a single-storey pitched roof extension to my Victorian semi which houses the bathroom. There is no insulation in the roof at all and I would like to add some. There is currently a suspended ceiling and the roof is slate fixed straight to the rafters (i.e. no waterproof layer). I am...

Hi, I am planning to insulate my loft as it currently has next to no insulation at all. It is an old house and the joists are only 4"x2". This would give me only 100mm of insulation. I do not need to board the whole area for storage so I could increase the insulation in the unboarded areas to...

I want to open up a new, larger loft hatch. The house is Edwardian. I am only intending to use the loft for storage but I will be insulating and boarding it. I figure I will only need to cut through one (max 2) joist to make the size I need. How do I go about doing this? Will I weaken...

Thanks. Were these prices for the 'basic' options? I am wondering whether the prices quoted are always for the bare minimum options. I am, for example, considering whether or not to go for sash windows to suit the property and I guess these may be far more expensive..?. I am not looking for...

I am just in the process of buying a 3 bed victorian semi. The existing windows are totally rotten and so I am looking to get ballpark figures to replace all the windows with uPVC double galzed units. There are 8 windows of varying sizes in the property plus one bay window. I have already got a...
