I put magnet touching the pump and started vibrating if means anything, I made a video but don't how to put it on here?!

I tried with different settings; same. I have 2 AAVs in the airing cupboard, the heating one seems fine as water comes out when loosen. However, I unscrewed the whole of the red cup on the hot water AAV and nothing there, see photo attached, is this normal?

Which valves? AAVs?

I tried twice, screw inside turning freely and in both directions. Turn heating on, same boiler fires 20 sec stops and pump v hot to touch. Verdict?

Hi My CH system has an issue. The HWC is taking long time to heat over 2 hours, used to take an hour before. Same applies to the heating. There were grinding noises in the airing cupboard one day last week. I started looking last night, the two divertors valves are working fine, I bled the 2...

Hi How to bleed AAV manually? 15mm compression AAV as in photo attached. Thanks

I was looking at the prices; sqm of wall tiles is of similar price to a PVC shower panel. I guess panels cheaper to install? Just watched a how to fit video, not in favour tbh because of the amount of silicone, adhesives and trims used in the installation, so many places can go wrong in the...

Hi I will be doing my bathroom in the new year so getting ready.... I have come across too many ads promoting these new for me panels, think they are plastic man made material. I don't like them from what I have seen so far, I don't like plasticky staff in general...I understand they are...

I had once issue when wood planks were cupped but that was my fault as I stored them wrongly; standing up against wall. Planks are not getting cupped at warehouse where they are stored horizontally and for long periods of time.

How about this? They are selling 20x210mm redwod floorboards: https://www.chilterntimber.co.uk/product/tongued-grooved-redwood-pine-t-g-flooring/

Why don't OSBs, MDFs or chipboards sheets suffer from cupping? They're weaker and bigger than 220mm planks with similar thicknesses.

How about 7x1 , finished 169x20mm?

I will try see what happens, they are cheap...

20mm wood planks are stronger than mdf, osb or chipboard sheets. They do wide planks 200mm engineered wood which must be working; can't see why 20mm solid wood won't work.

They were 120x18mm

The floor boards are the the finish in this room. I have replaced nearly quarter of the damaged T&G boards with PARs years ago, no shrinkage issue. I now decided to change the whole flooring with PARs for a better look overall; no concern of shrinkage until was mentioned here. They are bare...
