Thanks. I will be turning off stopcock, but want to avoid draining system each time. I'm actually after a more general solution to set up for the next few years, the house is left empty for weeks at a time - and I'd rather have something self-protecting, rather than relying on the person who...

Actually, I'm only going to be away for several days - but I'd assume even 72 hours is enough for the house fabric to drop to outside temperatures. [edit - basically out over Christmas week, and then another week and a bit around then, without telling the world that the house is ready for...

Morning, This is more a thermal / heat loss question than wiring+plumbing (I can do the latter!) I have a 3 story Victorian terrace house that will be left unoccupied over winter, but I will be leaving the boiler powered, and do not want to fully drain the CW system. The plumbing...

I've got a leak in a sill in a wooden sash window - that seems to keep coming back. I actually replaced the timber a year ago because it had begun to rot. The issue seems to be the interface between the wooden sill/jamb and the stone sill (which sits proud of the wood) Due to positioning it...

I've been looking around for suppliers who can supply cheap industrial looking glass clamps for a toughened (tempered) glass fence. The web is full of very smart stylish providers who will help design an urban industrial garden, but I'm not sure where to buy the parts. At the other end of...

Morning! I'm off to parents house to clean their 8mm microbore CH system - it hasn't been flushed in at least 10 years, and we have some serious sludge (cold spots) in a couple of the rads. Now given we're doing it on my parents budget, they've bought one litre of Sentinel x400 only...

I ordered from ukwhitegoods.co.uk, which were a lot cheaper than some of the others. It was a bit tricky as the model number WJS1397W wasn't in the list of supported machines. The part number was 50226588007 - which I guess is similar for a number of Sole motors. However that model...

Thanks. I'd actually tried those sites before posting, the problem was that none seem to work specifically for the particular motor. I think it's more that Sole change model numbers but don't directly manufacture the replacement brushes. Anyway - after phoning around a few suppliers, one...

Hopefully this doesn't sound like a parts enquiry (but I guess it is) I've been scouring the internet for replacement carbon brushes for a certain model/motor - it appears some shops sell a generic 'zanussi/sole' replacement brush set, yet others have at least two different parts for sole...

I've routed a small (22mm) PVC drain pipe under a newly laid concrete floor. Although I thoroughly wet-tested the pipe before the concrete was laid, it looks like one of the 90deg joints must have been disturbed with the screeding - it hasn't sealed properly as there is a small damp patch...

I've just had some vinyl fitted to a kitchen/dining room - but it required a join due to roll size. I'd always assumed there was a way of joining two vinyl layers on domestic vinyl, in a similar way to the heat-bonded professional stuff (which I guess is solid rather than a printed layer and...

Ah - that's another thought. I'd thought that we wouldn't skirt so you have a completely water resistant edge. The same question then - would you put skirting over the lino to hold it down, or lino up to the skirting edge?

I've been searching the forums about the same problem - vinyl floor and tiles on wall. I was inclined the other way - if you put vinyl down under the tile edge, then it would hold the vinyl flat and stop it curling over time. And a silicone bead over the tile should hide any rough edge...

I've been looking around the forum and found many people with a similar situation - room in house is part wooden floorboards (loose not T&G) and part screeded concrete. I'm looking to lay vinyl across the whole floor. Advice seems to be ply on the floorboards, and raising level using...

I have an unven concrete solid floor that used to have quarry tiles on it. Other parts of the floor are level with the quarry tile, so I am thinking of removing the tiles, then screeding back to the same level. There's also some small areas where I have buried pipe that need filling too...

I've just taken delivery of a nice large shed, and have partitioned off a space for storing items like electrical equipment. Looking to insulate the partitioned space (and already have rockwool slabs) but not sure whether to finish off with plasterboard, plywood, or even hardboard. I'd...
