you could also use a Hepv0 without the knuckle adpater, however it sounds like it would be too long for it to work in your situation

i had this very same problem a few years ago, as mentioned already it's the ball valve that needs attention.

oh, and as you are talking about electrics in the bathroom expect to get "Part P" mentioned to you a few times as well. :)

I believe the regulation is that you just have to have forced ventilation or a window, the fan can be anywhere. The fan needs to be rated for the appropriate permitted zone. quick google search shows lots if links with pictures to what the zones are...

those things are audible to adults as well and are particularly annoying. My neighbour in my old house had one and it didn't stop mine or any other cats from entering his garden. His garden in bloom was great but unfortunatly all the beds just look like giant toilets to cats. I did my...

i also have a self propelled Honda izy, 16" one i think. i got it from costco quite cheap a few years ago. easy to use, variable speed and is pretty easy to start. I believe the izy is made in europe somewhere and are the cheapest range of Honda's so are not quite to the same build quality...

if it's flaking you might have to remove all of it otherwise it will just crack at a later stage. i had a flaky paint problem so removed loose paint back to what I htought was good, gave it a good sand and then smoothed the surface using jointing compound. I've noticed that a few other...

I just fitted a magnaclean to my system as I had it drained down when I replaced my cylinder. Got mine new off ebay for less than £80 delivered. Fitted it easily, checked it a couple of days later and it's catching stuff so seems to work.

it sounds like he wants to know so he can complain to the builder, not argue with the BCO. :)

I built a sleeper retaining wall about 1.2m high using new sleepers. I had removed the topsoil down to the compacted sub base, sunk fence posts a couple of foot into concrete and then coach bolted the sleepers to the post. I then capped it off with another sleeper sitting on the wide edge...

new build house I owned had a Myson run off the central heating, i found it kicked out a fair bit of heat but the fan was quite noisy. After 4 years it stopped kicking out heat. no idea what the problem was and I moved house that summer so was no longer my problem.

the spring is bent now though, might have been when I hulked out in frustration! :shock: when i bought the spring i didn't even look for these as I assumed they were expensive, I have read that people have still got creased pipes using the cheap ones though. my diy ego might not be able...

tried bending some copper pipe into 90 degree bends using a spring but it seems to bulge in the inside and then splits on the outside. The first one i tried bending round my knee, the second one I bent around a telegraph pole in case i was using too short a radius. Any ideas what's wrong...

even easier is to disconnect the condensate pipe from underneath the boiler, place a bucket underneath to catch the liquid, get your boiler going. then de-ice the pipe later or wait until it thaws, better than being cold while you try and fix it. i had this problem which BG did not...

just to be clear, I didn't contact the insurer, i just read my policy booklet and under the section "Storm" it has a "what is not covered" section which just says "frost" underneath

well, after hours and hours of work i removed as much snow as my snow shovel could reach when on my ladder, the i chipped out some ice from the gutter and some from the roof, poured hot water in the gutter to create a channel that flowed away, then put rock salt on the massive lump of ice on the...

with all the snow we've had the gutters on my house have frozen solid so much that there is now a dam of ice going up over the first row of tiles. I noticed water dripping in around the back door and through one of the air vents in the window. on inpsection in the eaves i can see ice on the...

I did this exact thing. the only difference between mine and yours is that i didn't have a brick wall to the side of my stairs. Because my stairs were narrow like yours and I didn't feel skilled enough to notch the newell to slot over the string (and also because i didn't need a handrail for...

thinking about it, raised head screws would solve the problem and would probably work better. thanks for the replies.
