I am putting in a stud wall to divide a bedroom up. Problem is when trying to fit noggins to ceiling joists I found that the plaster key (that protrudes above the laths) mean that the noggins will not sit level with the laths. Should I - 1. knock the plaster key off at this point or 2. Let the...

Once a Romany always a Romany and proud of it. That means that you were something other?

Based, as you are, in the Holy City getting one the size you need should prove no problem at all :lol: If instead you lived in Birminham you could get just what you need at a reasonable price from The Toolman of Yardley. I have no connection - don't even like the guy - but his prices are...

Sorry not having a pop at you Phykell.

"Mere £200" - that's why I said £200+ and I resent the implied insinuation - I do not buy tools to sell on. Nor am I currently interested in buying old tools however good they are. I simply answered a question asked the best I knew how and bfore I had really looked at the net...

I believe it's worth quite a bit but I want to get the most for him I can. Can anyone suggest a fair price I should sell it for and where best to sell it? A. I would hazard a guess at say £200+ but search as suggested there are specialist dealers out there or an auction house maybe? Also...

Hi PVM Tesco's - I thought that they ripped their suppliers off more than the customers? You could copy this practice as it works well for them :) CORGI - I tried to find a Gas C/H engineer using their search facitlity and it tells me that there are no CORGI registered Gas Engineers in...

+20 years back I was quoted around £90-00 for doing a similar operation so looks about right.

No you read my original query (that seems to have disappeared) where one of the suggestions raised a point that needed a plumber or C/H engineer to answer. Ergo I posted it here as I needed a plumber to answer regarding pipework etc. Hope that clears that up OK? MOD see 1a hope...

Many thanks BAHCO. I may simply heatshield for now and have the pipes sorted when I get the en suite fitted out later this year.

A Plastic C/H pipe has been run too close to one of my downlighters. My question is this - Can I simply lift the pipe (which tee's off the main run quite close by) and allow the fitting to rotate slightly on the pipe run ? Also I need to bias it slightly away from the light fitting by some...

Thanks Thermo makes sound sense.

Hi - I have Googled this and discovered contradictory advice. What is the correct and most likely orientation please? Thanks

Mnay thanks guys. I will get ot sorted when I return. I think my local C/H expert migrates at this time of year. Have a great New Year and think of the Sparkies coming to grips with Part P - glad I'm out of it :D

No the left hand valve still leaks water (not under great pressure) which suggests that is attempting to shut off. The inlet valve (from main) turns off correctly. I now realise that the valve that should be automatically switching off has a bleed on top not an isolating feature. I also...

Hi Guys Hope you all had a good Christmas. Can you help please - The boiler (Halstead ACE) was working fine this morning but the pressure dropped below the minimum and the system shut down. I re-pressurised and then got 'Lockout'. Sorted this by resetting the cutout as specified in the...

Hi yes it will be an arm sized hatch. As to the, joists it is a floating floor in a ground floor flat so I was planning to cut to a depth that just cut through the laminate then cut the flooring sheets and take it from there. I would then have to provides supprt for the hatch as it is unlikely...

Many thanks for your help. Is the rotazip any good and is it still available? The area is under the dishwasher so it should be OK. Cheers

If, as I suspect, I have to cut a service hatch through laminate flooring to access the central heating drain off tap what is the best way of doing it that will cause least damage and need the least work please? Many thanks

Can I ask what is I guess a pretty obvious question please? I am about to fit thermostatic valves to radiators in a ground floor flat. The problem is that I do not seem to be able to find the rain tap anywhere. I have this awful suspicion that it has been covered up by the laminate flooring...
