thanks for the reply Well the CH is on anyway and there's been not even a drip out of the vent. I even turned the CH pump up to 3 (its normally on 2) and turned the boiler thermostat up, still not even a squeak out of the vent. Yesterday I had a pretty long shower (power shower) about an...

Last night I was alarmed to find water dripping out of my loft hatch! Turns out the CH expansion tank was overflowing (the overflow pipe to the outside world must have had an airlock or something because when I tapped it a few times it started to work again and the water ran off). Its a...

Cheers for the replies... Seeing as how the top 'shelf' is way above eye level, I am now thinking that I could leave off the top half of the shelf, and then still recess MR11s into it for my 3 downlighters? Which leaves the uplighters, which I would probably then use 2 surface mount...

Hi. I want to build some box shelves into an alcove, basically using a simpler design of picture 1 (attached below). I want to recess some downlights and uplights into the unit (see picture 2). They would both be recessed into the top shelf of the unit (shelf width approx. 40mm) What...

Also, there's a small area of the room that is currently bare plaster that I want to paint along with the rest of the room. It's oldish plaster but it has bever been painted. it's also in very good condition, perfectly smooth apart forom the odd spot of Polyfilla. I'm assuming that a...

Thanks for those replies - I went to get some Oil based undercoat first thing... Based on a conversation with the guy in do-it-all I'm going to apply Crown Basecoat (thinned 10%). Then: sand any imperfections when this is dry, then apply another layer of Basecoat, followed by 2 coats of...

Hi About 18 months ago I painted over the horrible purple paint in my toilet room with some magnolia bathroom paint. About 6 months later - it looked like this: Loads of hairline cracks in the paint, all over the room. The room doesn't get humid at all, so I'm not sure...

Already flanged

So you're saying that Salamander Pumps are quieter than Stuart Turner pumps? Funny cos before I bought the pump I was told the opposite! I can't see Stuart Turner pumps on your website so its hard to make a comparison of specs?

shameless bump :lol:

Since I installed my shower pump about 6 months ago, it has always made a kind of quiet screaching noise when it is in use, almost like the bearings have already worn out? Is this normal? OK, I know the sound quality on this clip isn't great, but I hope you get the idea. To give you an...

Hi Where's the best place to buy Kitchen Cabinets - I'm just after the standard size, "blank" cabinets (i.e. just the shelves and case, not including cabinet doors and hinges etc.) Thanks a lot Chris

Hi I'm currently installing a power shower, and tee-ing off from the pumped supply for my monoblock basin mixer as well. (previous post on the issue is here: # ) As advised i've bought some inline NRVs (15mm copper compression) to go before the hot & cold for both the basin mixer and...

Back to the shop it is then (for the tenth time today :roll: )

Thanks a lot for the help! (PS I posted another question on how to install my essex flange here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=124438 - if you could help me out there I'd be all set! thanks again)

I'm in the process of installing a new shower, including new pump and pipework. My plan is to site the pump next to the HWC, feeding hot from a dedicated essex flange and cold from a dedicated feed from the header tank in loft (about 3m directly above the pump). I then plan to pump the...
