We want to replace our boiler and relocate it upstairs. The problem is that different gas fitters are giving us conflicting information. The easiest routing would be to run gas pipe behind bottom kitchen units and then in a boxed section on the wall. There is a section made of 30 x 30 battens...

I would like to kindly ask you to advise on 3 questions I have regarding building regulations. 1.I own a 70's town house and decided to find out from our local council what modifications were registered with them. To my amazement there are only two records - windows and loft insulation...

Thank you. Yes, the cost of polystyrene, wool and new plasterboard is massive, but I'm having problems with heating. While air temperature is around 21-22, the floor is much colder. I would have to check the insulation values of both materials and compare it to values of the standard wall...

Thank you. Boards used in my garage are not double layer so I think I'll invest in proper plasterboard. I wanted in remove the boarding and old glass wool and replace it with layer or insulating wool and then wedge polystyrene sheets (25mm) between the joists (with expanding foam where...

We live in a town house with 2 garages. Living area is located above them. Ceiling in both garages is lined with a white board (looks mineral). The problem is that because it's quote old with only some insulation, our house gets really cold with draughts from every possible hole in the wooden...

We are going to replace bathroom sink, but I don't know which tap should I be looking for. I want to replace 2 taps with mixing one, but we have a low pressure hot water system with tank in the loft. This system doesn't like standard mixing taps and in our last house cold water was being...

michele5041 – yes, there are other places to fit the boiler, but it all cost money (£1000 extra to move it the the next available spot). 4 year old boiler can be a lottery, but then is my Potterton any more reliable? Hugh Jaleak – I guess you’re right. Our gas bill will be ca 50-70 month, so...

From what I remember, he's hot a Glowworm condensing boiler, I think its the hxi. I don't know the rating but it's slightly too small for his 4 bed house. Boiler is 3 or 4 years old, much better than ours. I would definitely check that it can be fitted in my house and I don't want to fit...

Thanks for your replies. I'm not an expert, but this is what I know: 1. Boiler is floor standing and it fully fills one cupboard. 2. There's only big window above it, so no chance to move it there. 3. The only reasonable place is the wall next to garden door and this would cost additional...

Our house has got Potterton Kingfisher rs50b boiler installed. There is nothing wrong with it, but everyone advise us to replace is with something more modern. Boiler is installed in the cupboard under the sink (well, next to the sink) and the survey man advised that if we want anything modern...
