We've just had a new door and frame fitted, there is currently no seal along the bottom as part of the frame kit and we're getting rain trickling in via the water running down the front of the door either side of the weather bars and getting in in the corners. I've bunged a little bit of foam...

Thanks for the replies, I'd not twigged closing off all the other rads doh!! Yeah I was a bit apprehensive about the heat of powdercoating with out and testing but thought i'd try my luck as I was really struggling to find anywhere local to refurbish the rad by stripping it down so just plumped...

Yes they are section rads, the problem radiator in question is pin hole bubbling at a couple of the sectional joins as opposed to the valve joins

We have quite a large combi boiler central heating system 15 radiators (13 large cast iron rads) and one of the radiators we've just had refurbished (blasted & powdercoated) has a number of pin hole leaks. The leaks aren't sufficient that its dripping but in operation we're getting tiny black...

Hi I'm after a bit of advice. We've had a small extension done on our kitchen but i'm faced with a bit of a mixed bag of flooring to sort. The main part of the kitchen has a suspended wooden floor, which has been plyboarded and tiled over. There was an existing small concrete floor extension...

Thanks for your reply the flags were machined uniform and I went with mapei rapid set flexible grey adhesive, worked a treat :)

I'm going to lay some 22mm thick limestone flags in our entrance porch. However I'm a bit unsure as to the best method of fixing them. The floor is a reasonably level concrete pad. Mortar is one option and obviously an appropriate adhesive is another(recommendations welcome). I was erring...

Can you explain why its not suitable please thanks

Cheers for the replies I spoke with the builder tonight re my concerns and he said that he was going to fill the void with vermiculite as it would absorb all the voids and was the loose full insulation they use for lining chimneys etc. Does that sound reasonable or is it better to insist...

We're in the process of having a small extension done on our kitchen. I have a question regarding the insualtion the builder is using in the cavity. The outer skin of the wall is reclaimed random stone so the cavity gap is not uniform all the way down. The exisitng part of the wall has...

Thanks for the replies Unfortunately its quite a small narrow kitchen so there really isn't the wall space for a radiator hence the underfloor heating, but the electric heating would only be used on a sporadic basis when required rather than on all the time thanks again

Hi After a bit of advice, were having a small extension done to our kitchen. We currently have a small cloakroom off the back of the kitchen but were planning to extend it sideways and knock through to enlarge the kitchen. The small issue is that there is a small radiator in the...

No he didn't replace anything he simply disconnected the cables at the cu which stopped this shorted spur from tripping
