can anyone point me to a picture showing how an L profile is fitted in this situation? I presume I will need to take the nose off the top step to attach an L profile. Is there something avavilible that is curved and which fits over the nose of the step? thanks sanjay

I have a question regarding laminate flooring. I have installed it in all the upstairs bedrooms and will now be doing the upstairs passage. How do I finish it at the top of the stairs? Do I simply put a normal end strip at the edge of the top stair so the laminate comes under the strip. I...

A while back I had all the radiators replaced in my house and had TRVs installed on all of them. Then subsequently when I was having the boiler replaced the plumber mentioned that I should not have TRVs on _all_ the radiators (especially in the same room as the thermostat). Anyway, I am...

You could call the people who actually service potterton boilers. They are actually a part of pottertonso they will be able to diagnose the problem for sure. see http://www.heateam.co.uk/index2.html They also carry all the common potterton parts so they don;t have to waste time ordering...

I had a mira excel shower installed recently Once the pipework is set up (with a pipe coming out at 90 degrees from the channel in the wall), I simply filled the whole channel with cement and tiled over it before fitting the shower. The backplate of the shower should cover any holes. You can...

I used 12mm for my bathroom and it seems fine. I wouldn't go any thinner though. Try and use as large sheets as possible and screw it down to the floor boards very well so there is no movement. sanjay

I had a potterton performa 28i combination boiler installed last xmas and it is coming to the end of the warranty period soon. The company heatteam are a part of Potterton and cover any work that needs doing doing the warranty period. They also offer further extended warranty for £99 a year. I...

ok, thanks. Since my boiler is still under warranty (till xmas) I rang potterton who will send someone out to have a look at it. btw. what causes this sort of problem with the O'ring? The boiler can't be very well designed if this can happen during the first year of its life. thanks sanjay

If the problem is with the O rings, then can it be rectified or do I have to live with it? Is it likely to be doing any long term damage to the diverter? thanks sanjay

Briefly checking the fernox website I see that the generic ceneral heating protector has a feature of "reducing boiler noise". So I guess I nned to know whether there is any point in also using a separate noise reducer. Will it make any difference? thanks sanjay

I am shortly having some work done on a couple of radiators which will require a drain down of the CH system. I have a combi boiler Potterton Performa 28i. I understand that I have to put some form of protector into the system. I have bought "Fernox Superconcentrate Central Heating...

There is a section of piping below the boiler that directly connects flow and return. Is this what you mean by a bypass circuit? No idea about the speed of the pump. The boiler was installed and comissioned only a year ago. I didn't realise that the speed of the pump was something that should...

I remember asking this exact question to guy who installed the rads and he said that these particular TRVs and lockshield valves could be put on either the flow or return. Is there an easy way to check this by looking at the TRV itself? cheers sanjay

I recently had all my radiators replaced with new ones and had TRVs put on all of them. They are all siemens TRVs. The TRVs are beginning to annoy me because when they are not fully open or closed you get a constant whining sounds as the radiator comes upto temperature and the TRV is about to...

Hi, I plan to install engineered or real wood flooring in my lounge. It currently has a gas fireplace with a wide marble hearth. I'm planning to replace the hearth with another marble one of shorter width. The new hearth will run the full length of the chimmney breast. Should the flooring...
