    Tiling floor prep

    Can grab adhesive be used to secure the boards? Or does it have to be a specific type of floor tile adhesive? Do the boards need to be primed with bal sbr bond?

    Replacing old radiators

    Should i stick with singles or install doubles? I'm guessing if i went for doubles the rooms could get a bit too hot, but the trv's could address that?

    Replacing old radiators

    I've measured the sizes of the existing radiators so was going to purchase the new radiators based on that as I don't really want to go down the route of adjusting the widths of the pipework

    Tiling floor prep

    Yep both floor surfaces will be tiled over, the tiler advised 6mm rather than 12mm plywood as this will only marginally raise the floor which will still allow him to achieve a level floor throughout I have no idea whether there is a DPM and insulation below the concrete, we've only just...

    Removing teleswitch

    Spoke to someone else at shell energy they've offered to remove the economy 7 meter/radio teleswitch FOC result! :) It will take up to 20 days for an engineer to visit and install a single phase meter Out of interest, how will the supplier isolate the mains are they allowed to pull out the fuse?

    Removing teleswitch

    I asked for a single rate tariff, they advised there is no need to remove the teleswitch as all they would do is combine both of the readings to give me a single reading rate. Hence the charge of £150 I don't want the electrician to do anything that is untoward as it'll only come back on me if...

    Removing teleswitch

    Hi John, I've had a look at the bill, it does have a day and night rate. Is this what they call Economy 7? As I'm leaving my current supplier, will it therefore be appropriate to contact the DNO instead? Or perhaps request it from the new supplier? I'm guessing my current supplier will be...

    Did they charge you remove the teleswitch? So in your case it should have been the energy supplier that should have removed it?

    Removing teleswitch

    I have no idea whether it is working although it looks connected to the other devices within the enclosure. There were no storage heaters in the property There was an open vent hot water cylinder which has all been removed and replaced with a combi boiler

    Removing teleswitch

    Playing devil's advocate, if the electrician were to remove the radio teleswitch surely the distribution network supplier would be none the wiser! It'll probably take 2 to 3 weeks for them to visit and remove it and likely a cost to myself whereas the electrician has offered to remove it! I'd...
