Hello: Could anyone recommend a good quality TRV? I used Drayton TRV 4 in my old place and they worked well. We now moved into a new place and the TRVs are really poor quality, two have already broken and make loud whistling sounds when the valves are about to close. I am considering...

Purchased it first thing this morning, there wasn't a rush for them and the product looks good, highly recommend.

Hello: I need to buy myself a mutli tool and noticed this offer starting on Thursday. Is Parkside any good? I've not heard of them but I'm new to the DIY scene! http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-1D545B6A-52E3499B/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=10126 Thank you

Hello: Recently moved house and decorating some rooms. One of our neighbors have a kid who is really into playing drums. We are fortunate that they are detached but the drummer plays in a room which is 2-3m from our house and it is rather loud, particularly the base drum. Anyhow I am...

Hello: I've moved house and I want to install an alarm system. I have previous experience of installing Scantronic 9600 in two previous houses but I wanted to try something a little more up to date. Something that will allow fo configuration via PC and remote access. I want to stick to...

Thanks for the great responses. At the top of the route (in the first floor) running the cable under the floor to bedrooms would you use conduit? Ideally I want to just get access the cables at the top and push them through to access points in other rooms without pulling up the floor each...

Hello: I've been on the forum earlier figuring out a problem on my CH (http://www.diynot.com/forums/plumbing/central-heating-flowing-into-expansion-tank.393414/) and you guys are fantastic! I now have a separate question... What sort of calculations are made when deciding how far to...

Thanks for all the advice, it's been really helpful. I now have a separate question to do with the way 22 and 15 mm pipe has been used on my system. To keep it neat I'm going to start a new thread. Thanks again - great forum!

Out of interest... how much would that be? and what model. I wouldn't mind making an investment if it lasts me a long time. I have a whole house to do up and also help with my brothers so might be worth it. Thanks

This is all great advice thanks! I should have been clear on my OP that the route I am creating is for communication and media cables but not 230v so I should be good. Thanks again all!

OK so totally the opposite direction to what I thought! I have checked the arrow on the pump and yes you are absolutely correct. I also can see that the pipe rising up and above the expansion tank and back in the top is the 22mm pipe and the cold feed at the bottom of the expansion tank is the...

Hello I've recently moved house and I am starting to decorate rooms up. I want to have the ability to run cables between the ground and first floor not just now but in the future. I'm planning on sinking some sort of conduit into one of the walls and accessing the top just under the...

Hello I have recently moved house and I am discovering some horrors with the central heating system. I'm skint at the moment after shelling out for the place so doing my best to DIY as much as practically possible. My knowledge of traditional heating systems is very low, (my last place...
