I recently moved into a 2000 built 4 bed, 2 bathroom house with a boilermate 2000 and Glow-worm Micron 50FF 14.65 kw boiler. Boiler is downstairs in kitchen. Boilermate on landing. As they are now both over 20 years old I'm considering replacement (although I've not had any problems yet!)...

I'm installing a recessed triple shower valve and have discovered the internal walls are quite thin. On cutting them open it looks like three sheets of plasterboard, no joists. House was built 2003. Is this common?

Thanks. Picked up 3 Yorkshire wall plate elbows with the solder ring instead of compression.

I've just ripped out my bathroom and set to install one of these over the bath. Its 3 way, so I need to fit a wall mounted bath spout, fixed shower head and handset. The wall I'm fitting it on is only 2 1/2 inches thick, so I will be building a false wall to hide it all. My question is...

I'm about to tile my bathroom and have a few questions. The floor is T&G with a thin layer of plywood (I will remove this). the bathroom was previously tiled from floor to 1/2 way and the top painted with bathroom paint. At another property I once had a badly cracked tiled floor and want to...

surely it would be no different to a tiled floor or shower?

I'm replacing my bathroom and have chosen to swap out the toilet and basin for some units like this (made by ideal standard). This is my bathroom. The bath was previously boxed in to the back wall as illustrated. I've also drawn in the new toilet and sink unit. There is a 190mm gap...

It probably won't be too long.. which is why I want to install the magnaflow now. Couple of flushes, get all the crap out.

Brilliant thanks. Doesn't sound too difficult :)

After replacing a rad I noticed how badly the system needs cleaning. I've read good things about magnaflow's so want to install one. I have a boilermate 2000 (where there is no space at all), so above the boiler seems the appropriate place. the instructions suggest installing on the return to...

Just want to double check I'm installing this the correct way... The current rad has inlet on right. I need to swap and have the hot inlet an TRV on the left of the Vertical. If I look into the bottom pipe of the vertical I can see a baffle. Its closer the the left side.

Making a start..

I moved into a new house a few weeks back and have been experiencing vibrating pipes and occasionally a whistling noise. It started when the main bathroom bath was filled. I dont believe the previous owner ever used it (lived on his own) only ever using the en-suite bathroom. It seems to...

Yes youre correct. Should have read the manual! This makes it a little more complicated. I think I will have to install a separate 2 pole isolator near the floor outside the bathroom.

I have two bathrooms with a triple switch (extractor, lightswitch, fuse) and another separate switch for the opposite room light. I've replaced the old extractor with an timed humidistat expelair that draws 7.7w max. I'm going to combine the bathroom light and extractor, and remove the...

Thanks, good advice! I hadn't realised it was swapped. If I'm changing the pipework it would make sense to get it right even if there isn't a baffle.

Thanks. Why 50% less? because of the size and mirror? The btu output for the new rad is is 1744

I'd like to replace a radiator in my hall with a vertical and at the same time move it 1 foot to the left. I've not tackled this before but after watching a few youtube videos and reading a few articles it doesn't seem too difficult. The current radiator looks like it has a drain off valve...

I need to order a new multipoint lock as I have a Yale smart lock handle to fit and it only works with lift to lock. The lock fitted is double key turn. I've taken some measurements.. The backset is 55mm, 85mm centres. The width of the lock when looking at the edge of the door is 20mm. Is...

I'd like to increase security a bit and make my garden wall higher. The most cost effective solution seems to be a wall topper. I'd like to take it to the height of a 6ft gate. The problem is the corner of the wall is rounded. the two solutions I can think of is lots of posts and small arris...
