Thanks, looks like the Euro Mini is the way to go.

In my last two houses I installed the venerable Scantronic 9448, which was a pretty straightforward task. In the new house I'm looking for something that supports proximity tags for ease of use. A wireless fob would be nice, but not necessary. So far I've narrowed it down to: Scantronic...

No, I'll be installing from below. The "leave no gaps" advice is what I'm looking for, so I'll go with 150mm insulation. Thanks.

I'm looking at installing insulation under my suspended floor. The joists are 120mm deep. My plan is to use loft insulation held in place by netting. Loft insulation isn't readily available in 120mm thickness though, so I'm looking at 100mm or 150mm. Which is best? 100mm will leave a gap...

Hi. I'm looking at buying a house that has LPG central heating, but an electric hob in the kitchen. If I want to change to a LPG hob then the obvious thing would be to feed it from the LPG supply that goes to the boiler. Is that usually the best solution? Or is it better to have separate LPG...

I could, yes, but I think I'll get some 40mm bits and see if I can construct a flush pipe with an angle in it.

About 20 - 30mm.

Hi. I have a WC with a concealed cistern, and the outlet of the cistern doesn't line up with the pan. Whatever incompetent idiot installed it just put a load of sealant and plumbers mait around the bung, but this started to leak recently (which is how I know about the problem). One option is...

Thanks!

I need to join a piece of black plastic water pipe to 22mm copper. The plastic pipe is labelled Hydrodare 3/4" class C (photo attached). I measured OD at 27mm, which seems to confirm the sizes given here -> http://www.stevensonplumbing.co.uk/alkathene-accessories.html Hydrodare-classc by...

Because the water supply comes straight off the hill, laden with all kinds of bacteria, sediment and unpleasantness. UV sterilisation with sediment pre-filtering is the way to go for this kind of thing. It's just a case of whether it is valid to store the filtered water in a buffer tank, and...

Hi. I'm looking at whole-house UV water filters and one major installation question I need to address is whether the filter would feed the house water system directly or if it will feed a storage tank in the loft that in turn feeds the house. I'd prefer to use a storage tank, but I'm...

I have a mid-80s house with a roof that is getting worn out. The roof is made from fibreboard sarking overlaid with mineral felt that is cracking in places, then a counterbatten arrangement supporting concrete tiles. One builder suggested that, to save costs, he could remove the tiles...

Tony, Thanks for the suggestions. The mod coil was adjusted blind, and I don't have any means to measure burner pressure. My plan is to get a proper service done once I've (a) fixed the problem or (b) exhausted all the options that are within my comfort level. I might try the plate...

This will be quite a long post, so make yourself comfortable... :) I have a Vokera Maxin 28e combi installed. It is about 10 years old and just recently it has been only delivering intermittent hot water. This mostly showed itself in the shower when it would be hot for 30 seconds - 1...
