Hey guys, I was researching a bit trying to find online shops that make windows to measure and I'm not feeling confident some of these online vendors use good quality stuff to make their windows. I ended up finding Eurocell website and it looked quite promising, until I decided to look up their...

It is fine, we are all finding out about these different methods to build cheaper and quicker, so I'm happy to share everything I find about it :) So far I'm waiting for them to arrange a site visit and check my property, to them give me a more precise cost for the conversion

Hi, I'm looking for a loft conversion (my house has a trussed roof) and I found out about Telebeam and Ecotrus recently as a way to not need a heavy steel beam installation and cranes involved. I haven't seen that much information out there on the internet and I was hoping someone here would...

do you mean it is common practice to not provide measurements these days?

I'm also not sure why they don't get the drawings with the full specs, I'm pretty sure they have tried already but my guess is that they simply get drawings without all necessary details like that to be able to estimate the costs. Regarding printing to then measure, it is actually quicker to do...

I help a small construction company with their IT and I'm trying to help them to overcome a problem trying to estimate the material needed to do any given work based on a drawing. They need to literally measure their screen with a ruler and then convert with the scale to know the size of...

Hi there, I've got some internal sliding windows that add a 3rd glazing in my flat due to the noise of the main road in front of the property and recently the rollers decided to give up as they are made of plastic, and after so much opening and closing, they are decomposing. I've taken...

Yep the other room has power shower indeed and works well but also heavy on electricity bill. My mains is 2.5 bar and the pipe seems to be around 20mm from the road but after the main valve it goes down to around 15mm , standard copper pipe size I can see across the whole house for hot and cold...

I don't get why a water tank has been put into this house considering it is not and old build, I believe in 2005 there were better systems than this? I have one bathroom with hot water coming from the gravity system, and an ensuite with an electric shower which actually works well, it must have...

I've found some examples here https://www.drench.co.uk/vellamo-flare-bath-shower-mixer-tap Flow Rates: • Flow rate at 0.2 bar - 11 li/min • Flow rate at 0.5 bar - 17.2 li/min • Flow rate at 1 bar - 24 li/min It seems the only way would be to have a combi boiler to replace my tank or then...

I was looking for low pressure/high flow taps but they have like 10lpm at 0.2bar which I believe is likely to be my pressure. 10lpm is not that far from 8lmp that I measured as it is. The problem I've see is that is you leave the shower head at foot level you get one flow rate, at your head...

Yep, standard 180mm indeed, just got one tap of the shelf to use and test, but not much luck Mine is very similar just shorted legs, half length

I don;t think I have any thermostatic control anywhere, you can get piping hot water on the tap. I think I have low pressure or these taps are just too restrictive. Removing the tap I get high flow rate, putting a new tap in place to check has similar flow to the previous tap. Perhaps that is...

I think what I was referring to are tap legs. The problem that I can see now is access to the base of the tap legs is quite difficult. https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p83848 these are similar to what I have perhaps replace my tap with this...

I removed the cartridge and opened the valve before reaching the tap, the flow was fine. The plastic diverter barely move 2mm up or down and I can't take it out. I've force it to nearly the point it was going to break. I can;t see a proper gap to allow water to flow over or below that diverter...

I measured 20 seconds to fill a 2L bottle so that must be 6lpm. If I remove the tap cartridge and open the valve I get the 2L bottle filled in less than 8 seconds, so 15lpm? The flow is so restricted that if I raise the shower head to my height the flow drops even further, it feels like I lose...

Hi guys, I've got a classic style bath tap which has a really low flow rate. I was checking all my taps to ensure flow and pressure is consistent and after that today I decided to open the bath tap to check inside. I found the tap very clean, no signs of limescale, but the middle part of the...

it sounds like a divert valve from what I've been reading but it seems a bit of a challenge changing it so I'll get a plumber to check it, thanks!

Hi guys, I'm having a problem when showering/using hot water on taps where the radiators start to get warm after a few minutes. I believe there is a valve on my boiler that controls the flow of water into the system and it seems to be stuck in my opinion. Normally using shower or taps would not...

Hi guys, I ended up deciding to replace the valve itself. the surface where it contact the rubber ring was a bit rough, seems sorted now, so far no leaks. Thanks!
