I'd like to move this non-load bearing wall over to the right (expanding the 'hallway' width) and extend it out a bit further (while reducing its width). I'm pretty sure it's not load-bearing. It's hollow. The joists above run parallel to it. It does however have two light switches (one either...

Thanks. How exactly do you check the inhibitor?

Thanks both. From what I can tell it's not dual, only gas. How easy / difficult is it to remove / replace? Any useful guides out there you'd recommend? Or is it advisable to get someone in? Ta

Moved into property and the bathroom radiator has what looks like a fair bit of rust on it. Is it salvageable or do I need a new one?

Could anyone tell me what the exterior finish on my house is? Looks like a coarse type of render—next doors is similar but much smoother, which I’d like to replicate. How easy / difficult would that be?

I think you were right about the plywood! (see my previous post)

Thanks for all the replies on this. I had assumed there were original floorboards under there because that's what we have upstairs: However, having removed some of the laminate, and inspecting the existing 'hole' further, I believe the downstairs has had the original floorboards removed and...

of course! can't be glued if there's an underlay there... thank you i'm considering removing the laminate and the underlay and sanding / staining the original boards underneath. however i'm guessing that will be considerably less energy efficient (given that i've removed two upper layers), and...

I’ve attached photos of a loose ‘board’ which I think is ‘engineered wood’ or laminate? As far as I can tell I can’t stain or paint this. From the other photos it looks like it’s on top of traditional wooden floorboards (which themselves are on top of a wooden subfloor). We want to change...

so i have an Ariston Microgenus 23 MFFI boiler in the house i recently moved into. just for context i maintain the boiler pressure around 1.0 bar recently the hot water has become intermittent. i timed it earlier: - i turned the shower on, the boiler fired up - it heated teh water for a...

so, in order to benefit fully from the T6R i would need a new boiler that supports OpenTherm, but i could still use the T6R with my current boiler to control the heating, etc?

thanks for reply. it's Ariston Microgenus 23 MFFI it's quite old!

thanks for your help. i'm 99% certain it's the right info. this is written on the faceplate of the 'boiler relay': and this doc suggests it works with the T3R: our preference would be for the previous owner to send it to us, but if not we'll buy one and set it up using the guide you...

i've played around with the Thermonet unit. it controls the underfloor heating in kitchen and bathroom--nothing to do with the central heating. the former owner got in touch (via the agent) to say that when he moved out the removal company "accidentally" took the thermostat for the boiler and...

thanks for the replies. i've emailed the agent to ask the owner. i'll also have a look at the Thermonet downstairs to see if i can control the radiators with it. i'll probably create a separate thread, but relatedly my Ariston Microgenus 23 turns itself on occasionally for no obvious reason...

thanks for reply. I haven't had a go at the Thermonet unit yet. the Honeywell unit is attached to an Ariston boiler. I put central heating on summer operating mode (i.e. "0"), and then pressed the 'fire' icon button on the Honeywell and can confirm that it works: it fired up the boiler and the...

I've just moved into a property with a combi boiler and a 'Honeywell Home' unit attached to it: From searching online, we should have another unit somewhere in the house with a digital display, e.g.: However, we do not have such a unit. The only thing resembling it that we do have is...
