Hi Just wondering I have a car pit in my garage which I am going to convert to a room, would anyone know if I get the measurements how much roughly it would be if I put glass over the top of it like a wine cellar?? Thanks

Have been doing bit of research and want opinions. I can either do the above with existing radiator or install a new type 22 radiator 4200 btu but to keep it simple no wall/floor tracking I can run pipes down built in wardrobe in room next with the pipes coming out of an internal wall to new...

Hi I have a old flat panel radiator in a bedroom which is connected to 8mm micro bore with a single end connection that has a rod running inside the radiator to control the flow/return. I want to incorporate the radiator onto the 15mm flow return (bungalow), is it just a matter of...

Hi I am going to dot and dab a garage with insulated plasterboard, should I do this before or after I have my floors insulated and raised? Thanks

Hi I have seamless guttering on my house but at the back door there is a 90 degree joint that has split and is leaking when walking into house. Would there be any quick way to fix this? I have to replace the whole roofline at some point and not PVC, was just looking something to do a simple...

Never thought of that so decided not to do it. Thanks for all replies.

Thanks for all comments. I know they will melt and batteries could explode was just looking a bit of light in around chimney opening when stove not lit. But as I say thanks for advice.

Hi I have installed a multi fuel stove few months ago but did not want to have spots wired as was afraid of the heat causing trouble. Has anyone done anything different to light up the stove insert area? I was thinking of battery push LEDs behind stove when not lit!! Thanks

Just seen this thread and I take it no restrictions. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/isolating-valves-for-plinth-heater.249552/ This may cause the flow issue to other radiators I take it?

Hi I have a plinth heater installed and I turned both isolation valves down low attempting to push more flow to other radiators on the system. What I have noticed is that radiators past the plinth heater are taking longer to heat so I assume the restricting of both flows on the plinth heater...

Another thing with the PIV unit, it states not to open windows at all but how does it push the stale air out ?

Nothing leaking at all, I have installed inline extractor fans 184m3/h so good extraction rate. I have my PIV on setting 4 might notch it up a little to 5 see how that goes, and yes it's in 24hrs per day only knocks off over summer when temp goes above 25+ or something

Have tried all above and have a PIV installed Drimaster heat one which I find very cold in the hall this time of year

No trickle vents but have windows open 30 mins during the day to ventilate. Have tried to have the window openings in locked slightly open position still condensation.

Hi I am looking at dehumidifiers as I read they are very good at extracting damp from inside houses. I have a 5 bed bungalow with new pvc double glazed windows but still get condensation in the mornings all be it around the bottom of the glass. Would anyone have any experience of using...

Thanks @Ricardov12 good advice I have set the nighttime heating back to 13.5 see how that goes. It was a older house when we bought it just upgraded boiler start of 2022 with the Hive controls. I have installed the new 10 rads with standard TRVs and will upgrade the remainder over time. Was...

My current setting each day and thermostat sits in kitchen area.

Hi This may not be the right place to post this but would anyone advise the settings to set the Hive heating too? What I mean most economical and keep the house warm - don't want to set 18°C all day when don't need to if that's what I do. Just give me an idea of the temps to set. Thanks

Do you have any links to good ones @markyd1
