Thanks. I guess I won't be ordering a vent from them. Might be overspeccing things a little to get it airmailed from Canada ... But I do like the idea of them being available in lots of colours...

Thanks a lot to everyone for their replies on this. Really useful. Home reno outlet? Is that something specific to Canada?

I'm taking out downlighters in the old bathroom and replacing with a single pendant. My question is: What is the best thing to do with the old transformers etc in the ceiling, plus the wiring etc. It will be a pain to remove everything. Is it enought to put blocks on the end of the wires...

Have enormous amount of respect for you Breezer. Don't want to start an arugment but, pray (for I am a Father-to-be) how should I have asked this question? :)

Thanks a lot Bilious. THat's really useful. I also found this for chrome (which has a nice rounded edge - I hope): http://www.choiceful.com/choiceful-id-3925-Chrome-Adjustable-Air-Vent-210mm-x-152mm.html

With respect, Breezer, I think you misunderstand me. I don't think I did hijack. That more commonly refers to diverting someone else's post for your own purpose. I don't think echoing the fact that I'm looking for the same solution is the same. Secondly, it's not inevitable that the...

I'm not hijacking it. I want to ask exactly the same question. Am I better just to repeat the identical question - or do this, which may in fact prompt the orginal OP to return and post his/her findings - which may in turn help me and others who stumble across this thread? Surely it's logical...

Sorry to dredge this up but I'm looking for exactly the same thing - ideally adjustable (so it can be closed). Someone?

I'm trying to source three poss four downlighters for use in a bathroom. I'm strongly considering Flameguard due to their recommendations here. a) Two will be above a shower bath and hence safest for IPX5 here. b) One will be above sink and hence safest for IPX4 c) Other will be in zone 3...

I've just had some walls plastered with 1) Thistle hardwall followed by 2) mutlifinish skim. The total thickness is approx 25mm. How long would you expect to leave it to dry before hanging a radiator? It was done on Friday and the skim coat is already bright pink (the room has had a...

Apologies for dragging up old thread but ... I wish people would come back with their final decisions.

Sorry to dredge this up again but we're still speccing this. Given that we've got decent mains pressure, we're starting to lean towards a combi at this point. An installer is recommending Worcester-Bosch - which I'm happy with. So it looks like being a greenstar. I've rated the 10 rads...

no! Not enough said. What does this mean? That the Potterton is even worse???

Thanks doitall. But over the last set of posts only two people (you included) specifically come out as negative about the Baxi. And the only specific alternative named (Vaillant ECOTECH 400?500?) is then slagged off in the next post! In a November 2007 Which? report - the Baxi does...

these replies are getting more and more cryptic ... Basically, I just want to know if the Baxi Solo HE is, beyond reasonable expectations, known to be unreliable. To summarise: 1 It seems that Baxi have had a mixed reputation in the past. So it seems people with Baxi Bahamas had some...

So are you saying the Baxi HE is ok, Bambi?

Thanks for your answers here. Which boiler from the Vaillant range compares with the Baxi Solo HE?

We're about to get out boiler resited (and hence a new one) and a fair amount of plumbing work done. The plumber - who we haven't used before but comes highly recommended - is suggesting using a Baxi Solo HE. A friend tells me Baxis aren't know for their reliability (compared with, say...

THe shower will be in the bath so no, they won't be used at the same time... Given the controversy that surrounds Combis vs Condensed, I'm surprised noone has yet shot down the combi idea...

Thanks for super-prompt reply. But would the person, um child, in the bedroom (near the combi boiler), be likely to constantly hear the combi firing up every time water/heating is demanded? And would it be likely to present a problem that the combi boiler would be two floors away from the...
