OK I see in the manual for the thermostat fig 3 for installation of electric fires for heavier loads. I expect this will be ok. I can't believe the fire will need more than 6A. Please correct me if I am wrong. Screenshot:

Hi All, I have purchased an electric inset fireplace to replace an old gas one which has been removed. I want the electric fire to be thermostatically controlled. My problem is that I have purchased a Drayton RTS8 with a 13A fused switch to control the fire BUT it says its suitable for...

So I get a Bailey Soil Plug... water flows under the pipe into the manhole cover... FFS. I fit it where the pipe leaves the house and water flows around it. I'll try again ... when its not going to freeze..

Thanks for coming to look today Andy! Great to meet you and get an insight into the hotchpotch drainage system of our money pit. I had a rather genius idea...... (I think) I blocked the end of the water waste pipe into the soil pipe. The I filled both sinks (utility and bathroom) with...

The old boy down the road did. I'll see if it was him!

Hi Andy, that's a deal. My name is Al I'll give you a call tomorrow. We have some 2nd fix plumbing we need doing too. I found your website and see you are just down the road in cheshunt. Thanks for getting in touch. :-)

Manhole cover is about 3 meters from toilet.

Hi Andy, we are East Hertfordshire, SG111HQ.

We haven't found an air admittance valve and don't remember seeing one before boxing weren't behind the sink. I'll get a CCTV survey done. This has been a continual source of stress besides other problems with damp as and leaking roofs. Never buying an 160 year old house again!!! It was a...

Serious? CCTV instead maybe? This is no joke to us. We spent £40k on an extension and are desperate to live a normal life with out constant smells of **** coming from the bathroom. We spent a fortune on slate floor tiles.

Hello All, I wonder if anyone can help. We had an extension done 18 months ago. Ever since we have been getting vile sewer smells in the downstairs bathroom (toilet and sink). We are at our wits end; - the builder has come back three times, fit an anti vac trap on sink as and added extra...

Thanks. :) I'm averaging 55 degrees at the top middle part of the rad so I suppose thats ok. I'm not sure of the temp from the boiler. I'll need to get in the roof to check it but I expect its about 70 degrees. :)

Oh right. why not? :) it has two bathrooms and a downstairs toilet.

It is quite big. https://maps.gstatic.com/m/streetview/?panoid=bmmDM51FRh97VUlN4EKUGQ&cbp=0,99.07875786595795,,0,0 From that website boiler should be spot on. Managed to get average radiator to 54 degrees using an infra red thermometer at the top middle of each radiator. They are all very...

Hmm boiler seems to be ok. It's a 4 bed detached house... 20 x 10 meters with this boiler.. http://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/homeowner/boilers/oil-boilers/greenstar-heatslave-external-2532

Thank you!

I've spent literally all day balancing radiators in my old solid brick house. I think I have just about got it sorted now. We have 21 radiators on two levels. The average temperature seems to be 50 degrees centigrade with the boiler on max with max input temp of 65 degrees. Does this seem...

Hi Guys, We have a bedroom with high ceiling with no room for insulation above. I want to lower it to bring it inline with the ceiling height in the other rooms and add a nice layer of insulation. The room is rectangular 3m x 3.5m and has four solid brick walls. - Do you think I can...
