Many thanks. It was a long shot but I thought it might be just too much for it. Is there any other way or should I stick with what I've got?

Hi All I have an extractor fan connected to the lights in the bathroom. So that they don't have to come on everytime you switch the lights on, can it be wired to the shower switch so you use it only when you have a shower? Steve

Hi All I have installed my solid fuel stove and boiler. Had my pie work checked and all in order. I installed the ususal thermostats etc. Everything is working fine apart from a banging noise in the pies as the pump kicks into gear. Is this just pie thump or is it the cold water meeting...

If you have an email address, I could send you the diagrams of my pipework. What was installed before was a gas boiler. There was no overflow pipe and the water is gravity fed. The fire company showed me the way to install the fire and it is correct. The pipe work has been done as a solid...

Hi Softus Many thanks for your help so far. My system is gravity but the original plumbers did some shortcuts which I am now fixing. The o9ther thing is that it is 22mm piping and not 28mm. My boiler has 2 connections. The original piping is this :- The pump is connected to the return...

Hi Softus It is very difficult to explain something over the net. The cold water feed is connected correctly to the stove boiler and the hot water outlet pipe is fitted correctly. The problem is this, when I connected the pipework for the radiators etc when you turn on the pump, the water...

Hi All I have just installed my Solid fuel stove. I have plumbed the pipework so that we get hot water but after looking at some diagrams, I am puzzled about the connection for the radiators. It seems to be showing the connection straight to the boiler on my stove but if you did that, the...

I wouldn't say another disaster, this is only a request to find out what is happening. I don't like to go in blind when asking a plumber etc. Don't like getting ripped off with a phew!! it all needs re doing mate crap. I have been in the building trade.

Thanks for the info. I am not installing another gas boiler It is a multifuel stove, so only new copper pipe and thats it. I only need to know what to do with the other pipe. Can't wait to get the gas out of my house.

Hi All I have a Baxi Bermuda Boiler. I am removing it soon and installing a fire with boiler. The new boiler will have only 2 connections where as the Baxi has 3. Can anyone tell me why there are 3? 2 come from the water cylinder and connected to the pump, and the other goes off somewhere...

Hi All Got a good supply of peat and logs so have decided to have a multi fuel stove instead of the lpg. The existing pipe work is great to access but is it possible to fit flexible piping to join the copper pipes from the stove boiler to the existing old boiler pipes? The gas boiler...

Your responses have been invaluable. Don't worry everyone, I will be taking photos tonight and hopefully posting them ASAP. Steve

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. Will try and get some photos to post. It's a very old system with about 7 fuses. The problem is that I have a electric shower, there will be a electric cooker and then all the lights and other things. will get a new box and try and get someone to fit...

Hi All We are going to remove a gas cooker and replace with electric. The fusebox is quite full. Can I add a new consumer unit to go alonside the existing one or should I replace the old one with a larger unit. I'm not sure about this and don't want to be ripped off. Any help will be...

Hi All, I am going to plaster my pond with a mortar mix adding a waterproofer. It tells me to add 250ml to 25kg cement. Trouble is, I am mixing by hand so would appreciate any help. Ratios for sand and cement etc. I suppose I will have a lot of calculating to do. Steve

It's electric Power Devil, so probably forget it then eh!!! Steve

Can you do just that???? I want to use my spraygun instead of brushes. Steve
