Hi, I'm still waiting for the purchase of my bungalow to go through, but when it does I want to replace some of the single sockets with double ones, all the internal walls are solid, so if I wanted 'Proper Double Sockets' I'd have to make the hole bigger etc, not too bad a job but probably takes...

Thanks again for the helpful replies, can't do anything now until I own the bungalow, but at least I know what to do once the vendors solicitor decides to do some work. Steve

Thanks. We've been to the bungalow today and the CH was on and worker well, so that's good news. So, back to my question, if I gate some plastic tube from ebay or a pet store of 12mm outside diameter, that should go into the hole where I remove the chrome cap? I have been looking at the...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Maybe I should have explained more, I'm in the process of buying a 1960's bungalow, looking at the Boiler (Baxi Combi 100), I would guess that it's @ 10 years old, one of the radiators in particular is very rusty, currently there is no pressure in the system but...

Hi, I found a few entries about cleaning CH system, but I have a combi boiler and no tanks, so I've bought some fernox and intend putting it in the radiators, I thought I would remove either the bleed nut or the one the other end and poor the fernox in a funnel with a tube into the radiator, my...

Thanks, I've heard of that before but no tried it,so if the strip I want to cover is say 1 inch, cover with 2 inches and then cut through say 1 1/2 inches of bothe new an old, Is that what you mean? Thanks Steve

Thanks for that,if I do as you say am I better off really soaking the wood hip wallpaper that I've torn rather than cut? What I'm thinking is that if I really soak it, it might blend in with the existing paper

Hi, We're buying a bungalow that has woodchip throughout, all the internals walls are solid, we're having a cooker switch put in and as we want the cable buried, they will need to chase out a hole in the wall to put conduit and cable, once that's dome I was thinking about just plastering over...

Thanks for the link, unfortunately you can't choose what depth you want, you need to look at the specifications of any that look interesting. What makes you say that 12mm isn't enough? It's a small bathroom, 2.5 m long by 1.5m wide, we had 12 MM. in a previous property and that was fine, also...

Hi, We're looking for a deep double ended bath, we were looking at some free standing ones, we found one that's 460mm Internal, but as this is going in a bungalow on a wooden floor (we will tile the floor after putting down 12 mm ply, but water always finds a way!), we are thinking a Panel bath...

↑ the existing cooker switch is that same size as a double socket, so it makes sense to put a double socket in place of the cooker switch, Click to expand... Why does it? It makes sense to put in a double socket as there aren't really enough currently. Regarding the cables to the 'Consumer...

Hi, I'm in the process of buying a 1962 bungalow, it currently has a floor standing electric cook, we want to change this to a Integrated eye level double oven at 4.8kw (@ 20A?), but were also moving it, the existing cooker switch is that same size as a double socket, so it makes sense to put a...

Thanks Alan, I'm trying to find out what size radiator I need, as I say, the room currently has 2 radiators and I want to replace 1 of them with a shorter one, 1.6m is a bit long, depending on which of the BTU Claculators I use I get 2 fairly different answers. So what one do I go by? I guess...

?

Anyone?

Can anyone help with this please

Actually, http://www.homesupply.co.uk/radiator_output_calculator.php Says @ 5090 BTU And the Kartell:- http://www.kartelluk.com/heat-loss-calc Says around 7026, quite a difference. If it makes any difference, I would way that the existing Radiators are @ 10 yrs old, I think the boiler is...

Hi, I'm in the process of buying a bungalow (1960's age), the living room measures 20' (6.1m) long x 12' (3.66m) wide, it currently has 2 radiators in it, both are 600H x 1.6m Wide double, unfortunately I didn't look to see if they are type 21 or type 22. One of the radiators is under the front...

LOL

Very true! Just going back to the response that Hugh put in A new connection can go through the outside wall, not absolutely necessary to dig the floor up internally. That makes sense, I guess the close to the sewage pipe the better.
