This is a probably a silly question ..... Moved into house and no instructions on how to operate boiler (Worcester green star utility 32/50 oil boiler). Some of the radiators in house are hot at top but only like warm or cold at bottom, so I suspected sludge buildup. The pipes can also be quite...

Puller and Newboy - Ok just clarify where you advice putting the 90 and 45 degree pipe bends: 1. Remove existing connector coming through floor and replace with this...

Apologies for the delay have been out all day with the kids. It sounds like I stirred a hornet's nest. Thank you for the advice. I am indeed a DIYer who unfortunately cannot afford to pay a professional to refit a bathroom, hence why I came to a DIY forum for advice. Pullar - do you mean...

here is a picture with the cabinet taken away.

I did hear the flexi pipes arent the best so could you suggest a better solution thanks

I did think the pipe sticking up out of the floor was possibly a connector but as disappears under a tiled floor I didn't want to risk yanking it to see, for fear of breaking something. Assuming then it is a pipe connector do I just pull it out and connect the flexi pipe directly into the pipe...

Can anyone suggest the best way to connect my toilet pan to the soil pipe when the two do not align correctly. Toilet pan and soil pipe centres misaligned by 10cm approx Cabinet depth is 30cm Gap between front of cabinet and soil pipe 15cm approx Would one of these offset connectors work ...

Sorry being thick here but what do you guys mean by frost stat or control stat Thanks

we have just moved into a house which has a large porch at the rear which is used as a utility room for a washing machine and freezer which also has a double radiator in the room. The previous occupants said the pipes froze last year and that they have since well insulated the room. Whilst i do...

Aren't all new build houses installed this way now ? I'd hate to have to drag out a washing machine full of water and clothes for a blown fuse so maybe there is some sense in the method. Anyway i'm moving so don't really care now lol Winston I'd read a fridge only needed a 3amp fuse in any...

I just don't get why the wouldn't want the current system - They asked for sockets to be installed the 3amp socket was me being daft and forgetting the obvious that the fuse (3amp in the case of fridge or freezer) will be in the plug so I don't need a socket with a fuse just an unfused...

haha that made me laugh mate !

thanks again EFLImpudence! I think i was over complicating this in my mind and missing the obvious doh !

Thanks EFLImpudence Would the fuse in the plug suffice then ? So where I have the non fused switch above and replaced this outlet with an unswitched single socket this would be perfectly safe without the need for another fuse somewhere ? thanks

Hi I am moving house and will be removing some appliances (Dishwasher, Fridge, Freezer, Washing Machine) which we cut off the plugs and hard wired into the outlets when we moved into our New Build property. The buyers have said they do not want to hard wire their appliances into the wall...
