Hello and sorry to be a pest I am putting in new bathrooms and installing a new boiler (well, my plumbing engineer is !) I have decided to go wih an unvented system to get good pressure and ready hot water my plumber hinks unvented is the way to go and has quoted me up for the job...

The tiles were fine-it was just that the heat wasn't consistent across the floor-some nice warm toasty tiles, some were cold I know what you're saying but boy it is lovely.......

Thanks TTC-I guess I hadn't thought it through as to which forum to post on! I wondered what the advantages of electric underfloor heating compared to "wet" UF heating is ??

Hi I am not sure if I am posting in the correct place -I posted it in plumbing but it was suggested it might be better here so here goes I am redoing 2 bathrooms and want underfloor heating (probably electric) In my last place we put down devi-mat and to be honest I didn't think much...

Thanks-I'll cut and paste it over Dave

Hi I am not sure if I am posting in the correct place but here goes I am redoing 2 bathrooms and want underfloor heating (probably electric) In my last place we put down devi-mat and to be honest I didn't think much of it Now it could have been faulty or badly laid (variable cold...

Hi there I suppose being honest it doesn't bother me at all-I just "imagined" that it may not be doing the roof any good I'm a bit clueless about these things-which is why this site is so good Are you saying I should just leave well alone?

Thanks again-really appreciate your detailed response The company that fitted it are still in existence so I will get them back in the first instance and get it serviced etc and get them to quote for a new panel etc if needed cheers

Hi, I have just moved house and there is a fair bit of moss on the roof tiles I assume I should get this removed? If so, is it a question of paying a roofer to "scrape" the moss off or is there a spray or anything that would kill the moss and let it drop off? thanks

Sorry to be thick Breezer-but what does "crash and reprogramme" mean in idiot terms-is that just a "service" ? If the panel is working ok after the engineer tests it, do I still need to go to the expense even if the panel is a few years old? Presumably the service cost would include...

Apologies-I hadn't familiarised with forum rules, but have now

I'm in Glasgow Will any alarm engineer be able to do it or should I go with the company that installed the system? Presumably I am better getting a few quotes Is there any particular system I should be thinking of changing it to? Thanks again-really appreciate it

Thanks very much-I probably wouldn't undertake the upgrade myself but get a professional to do it Would you have any idea of what sort of ball park figures I could be looking at ??

Hello Recently moved house and after HOURS on the net I have finally worked out that the alarm box is a scantronic 9100 (there was no user manual and no name on outside box etc) I wanted to change the numbers to arm/disarm the alarm but have been told that only an engineer can do...

Not sure if this in the correct forum, anyhow, as the title suggests I have a few loose monoblock stones underfoot when walked over How do I "secure" them? Thanks

Brilliant advice and recommendations Finally, part of the lawn is shaded by large beech and birches Is it feasible to use a specific shaded seed for this part of the lawn or is mixing differnet seed types not really recommended?

Thanks very much again! Re grass seed-my aim (!) is to try and get more of a "show lawn"-I have invested in a top quality cylinder mower and also scarify at the start of the season With respect to re-seeding , is it possible to re seed using a better lawn seed for the show lawn effect or...

Thanks again One further question-I am also looking to try and "flatten" out a large piece of "flat" lawn There are a few bumps and small valleys on the lawn Am I right in thinking that I could: A) Hollow Core the lawn B) Apply a top dressing of sharp sand and top-soil 50:50...

Thanks for the feedback-the powered aerator looks like quite a professional jobby-the sort used on golf courses and the like so I'd hope the tines would be at least as long and wide as those on a fork. I s'pose I am just a lazy beggar wanting to use a power tool rather than hand do it I am...

Hello I have a (fairly) large flat lawn which becomes very heavily water laden after rain (which we get a lot of in scotland!) I'd like to try and improve drainage-was thinking of hiring a powered lawn aerator from HSS and removing solid cores before sweeping sharp sand into the lawn...
