Moved into an older house and moving onto renovating my main living room. It contains a working solid fuel fire (chimney cleaned and fire lit over the winter). It's the old open type coal fire. Fireplace is horrible looking and although I could of course replace it, I am looking into the...

Likely buying Cornel column rads as the combination of price/size and availability suit better. Can't seem to see anything about baffles. if anyone knows I'd appreciate a heads up

Thanks. If I buy those I'll make sure to tell the plumber

I am buying a few column radiators in the next few days. Research done and quotes in. How would you rank the following brands/manufacturers. Eastbrook Reina Purmo Cornel Thanks in advance!

Thanks, was aware of them as I live in that town. Bit more expensive than most UK online, but def an option. Cheers

Larger rads of any make from Screwfix are not available to NI

Looking to buy a couple of column rads for a large living space. Sourcing these for a decent price is not so easy this part of the country. Delivery costs to NI from UK online companies (best options and prices) is hefty to say the least - north of a ton from the few I see quoting delivery...

I know there are many variables and its good to hear some of those factors and comparisons. As I said earlier most of my rooms are now low 50's and tend to stay there with the odd one hitting high 40's. I understand this is normal for my house - with no experience of dehumidifiers I wondered...

Thanks, I did ignore a lot of the survey stuff on damp, given it was an old solid brick house and I read a bit around damp and old houses. Nothing has materialised that concerns me since I have been living here. I was just wondering about the readings and what they mean/indicate - what is the...

I moved into a new house a few months back and the survey indicated some positive damp readings in some of the rooms. Its an old house (3 stories/ solid brick walls throughout) so I was not overly worried about this. There was of course no very obvious damp problems (sign of mould/smell etc)...

Thanks. If that's my only options then its time for an Electrician. I don't have the tools to do that properly. Can't believe a cooker is designed to make it this difficult to connect the cable

Thanks, I know what terminals to connect them to....my problem, believe it or not is I cant see anywhere to physically put the wire. usually it's clear - i.e. a hole to push the wire into and the screw tightens into it, but I can see no where to put the wire.....Other fittings I've used have...

Never thought I would be posting this, but I cannot see how to connect the cable to the cooker. I have done it many times before, albeit several years ago and it was always as simple as wiring a plug, 3 wires into the right box, tighten screws and away you go. This one has me baffled. I cant...

I found it funny

Looking to replace an old shower head and considering a better quality/better needs met product. Came across Hansgrohe products and appear to be well reviewed not only here, but in Europe/USA. Have a standard Mira mixer shower with the usual type of variable spray head. It's not a fixed head...

PLEASE IGNORE ABOVE - FIXED. Sorry, cannot see how to remove this thread, if at all possible. It was an airlock and fixed with help of online videos.

I have a mixer tap in the kitchen (separate handles for hot/cold) and the mains to the house comes into this tap. I have always had excellent flow from all points in the house. This changed a week or so ago. At this time the water board where working on 'something' in the area and I noticed that...

Thanks guys - reassures me to one extent that I have missed nothing. Guess it's gas, and as stated I will likely recover any outlay after a few years savings, given what oil costs (here anyhow). I spoke to regular supplier at length (been using over 10 years) - they are sympathetic, but as now...

As stated above 95% on gas. I know 2 in my area on oil (both end properties with easy access to tank)

I guess I was hoping beyond hope that there was another option. No route to house at all, unless you call over the roof an access point. I'm in the middle of a long row of terracing. All houses closed in around me are gas. About 95% of my area is gas. The only 2 I know around me with oil both...
