yes - flow temp 35-40 degrees

you can do a quick response system - pipes in 30-40mm of screed at 100 centres. mine's floorboards on joists with the screed on insulation inbetween the joists. you would have to do insulation between battens fixed to the slab (you need about 100mm to minimise heatloss downwards) screed to top...

warranty

never come across those being given to any friends/neighbours/acquaintances. it's certainly not a general requirement for a house for sale.

well they will ask for that, because that is what 95% of people will have received. the LABC certificate is equally valid that the installation is in accordance with the building regs.

as above - pay £60-100 and get Local Authority Building Control to inspect them.

hi, combi supplies hot water - no cylinder. i am interested what will happen if i break the "3-4" link whilst the combi is under the control of the VRC400 via the ebus interface. i am hoping that it will cancel any central heating demand.

hi, sorry to resurrect this - but i have had an idea that might work - 1) keep VRC400 weather compensating control connected via "Ebus", set to be always on (ie set very high target temperature, keep it in the cold cellar next to boiler) 2) use the "3-4" connections for switching on heat...

I am renewing the tiled surround to my roll-top bath. I have small strips of tile glued to the top of the roll-top. the previous silicone debonded from the unglazed tile edges. Maybe because the joint was a bit small and couldn't handle the movement. Although i planned the movement to be in the...

please don't bin it! save the planet and all that.. if you don't want to store it, someone would be glad to have it. you could try here - http://www.ilovefreegle.org (used to be known as freecycle) or ebay to find someone who'll collect it.

b&q wickes all do the same or v similar to richard burbridge mouldings. they are both dearer than a good independent if you are lucky enough to have one. if you do - look after it! ie give it your business.

or a "drill saw" (google it) can cut freeform holes in chipboard with a decent (fast) power drill. edit - i thought you might want holes for pipes, but maybe you want recesses (ie not all the way through) in which case these won't be suitable.

doesn't right (as in fair) - can you quote, or scan the relevant term or condition?

manchester building control approval is £69 inc VAT for any number of replacement windows. you will have to be sure that the windows you get conform to all parts of the regs. the building control officers can be surprisingly helpful on advising you what to check. FENSA is a self-cert scam...

bear in mind that the hinges and locks will depend on the strength of the joints you make. i would use screws long enough to go as far as possible into the existing stiles, and thick ones(5mm min). use a clearance hole on the make-ups and the screws should squeeze up the joint tight.

i would be suspicious of them having rendered the outside after the structural work. is is normal for a few hairline cracks to appear after removing walls / installing support beams. but any crack resulting from this kind of work should be monitored over time (months/years) to see if is widening...

are these available apart from bottle traps?

thanks, what is the best way of preventing vacuum from the flow from one pipe siphoning the water out of the other trap? i want to avoid bottle traps if possible. if i add air admittance valves, how high up should they be?

Hi, I have two new sinks to plumb the wastes from. Am i best having a P-trap under each one, or running them both into one? If so with what arrangement of the tee? I have McAlpine wastes (plug holes) already. I am planning on doing it all in 40mm solvent weld pipe and drilling a new hole in...

a reclamation yard will most likely have doors that can be made to fit, as they will have come out of houses like yours. it just depends if that's the look you want. otherwise taking 27mm off the height of a door is fairly normal. your mdf moulded door will be fine. need to be careful with...
