No zonal heating Only one thermostat

All ground floor rads are not heating up. On the first floor, two (of four) rads get hot and two are giving low heat. All Rads in loft area are piping hot What is the problem? Background: 1. Boiler is Vailliant 637 2. After switching it on for 1st time, following summer, it had an F75. So...

Want to paint my skirting black with dulux trade high gloss (oil based). Currently, the skirting is painted white with Johnstone Aqua (water based) paint For a proper, long lasting job, can I 1. Rub down the skirting with 240 grit. 2. Use Zinsser Cover Stain (oil based primer) 3. Finish...

It's oil based satin wood in black. Water based on stairs? Really? Is that a good idea? The whole reason I went for oil based in the first place is due to its durability/toughness Can water based paint take heavy use from everyday staircase use? Good point. To be fair, the only parts that...

Two years ago, I painted my wooden stair case (pine and ply) with Zinsser Bin & Dulux Trade Satinwood (oil based). Overall the paint job is still in great condition. However, high wear areas e.g. tread nosing and newel post are looking tatty and are in need of touching up. Can any of the...

Apparently, the gas was capped by the council as the property was unused for a long time. So who do i call to get the boiler commissioned? Building Control?

There is plenty of credit on the meter. Thanks. I spoke to the supplier and set up a fresh account when i moved in. As i have no idea who installed it, i will call out a gas engineer to commission it. They will hopefully be able to get everything up and running and provide Warrent for the boiler

You're like Agatha Christie putting all the right pieces together to crack the case. :mrgreen: Yes, the supply was switched (prior to me moving in) by the gas company to pay up front (prepayment) mode. What's the significance of switching from credit to prepayment? The boiler is new but...

You 'can' or 'can't' tell if capped? If you can't tell, would a better pic help out? Or do i have to get a gas engineer out?

New boiler is refusing to ignite Looking at the gas meter and i am wondering whether it has been capped/sealed? Could someone confirm from the pic?

Thank you. Learning everyday.

That's brilliant. Thanks for confirming. I am glad that the regs have taken a common sense approach. Extra low voltage isn't dangerous/ fatal, so they should give you more freedom to bury the cable outside of the electrical safety zone. The above is just my opinions.

Precisely. That's exactly what I'm asking.

Does the doorbell wire coming out of the 0-24v transformer need to follow electrical cable zones. Or could i bury it in any direction beneath the plasterboard/brick wall?

I use them and i think that they are excellent.

Woody you were missed.. Good to have you back mate :love:

Thanks all

So am i right in saying that i can use 0.75mm or even 0.5mm 2 core flex cable then?

Transformer has been placed in consumer unit and it has power. To power the 0-24v video doorbell can I use 2 core flexible cable such as 1mm or do i need to use 1mm flat cable. Also is 1mm cable overkill? Could i use 0.75mm? Doorbell is less than 2m away from transformer
