Hi Again! I am adding on a mere 3 rads onto a microbore system by cutting into the inlet/outlet before the manifold... My question is would it be ok to do a single pipe system or should I go for the Feed & return system? I have bedroom and an en-suite to heat upstairs and one rad...

Ok, I see now! So it is determined by the BTU, so they I just need to choose P+/Single or Double and the size will differ on them a fraction? Is that site I mentioned good enough to choose BTU???

I am choosing a radiator but unsure if to go for Single, Double or P+ I need 3774 BTU for the room and the window is 1800mm wide, is it usual to do this full length or half etc? or do plumbers work out a certain size which suits? Cost is always an issue of course http://www.radcalcs.com...

Hi I have a worn out flat roof on garage which sits on its own at end of garden, what are my alternatives than having another flat roof which always seem to hold water and last about 10 years? I wouldn't mind a tiled roof but guess this would need planning and cost a lot? Is there an...

I have a 2 storey extension (dinning room/kitchen and bedroom and ensuite) and want to put the rads in myself, the boiler is big enough for the job. Question is... Which way is best to run the pipes i.e. across and down then back up or room to room and back up? Also where should rads be...
