Hopefully a quick question... Just wanted to check if I should have a bleed valve in my loft for my water pipes? The property is a bungalow with a combi boiler, the highest part of pipework is where it goes into the loft, over to the kitchen and then down the wall and feeds the taps. At...

Hello all, after some more advise, have a had a look through the forums but havnt managed to find what I need. I need to fit a kitchen worktop in a U shape, so two corners, how is the best way to do this (rather not use the metal clips) and what sort of tools am I likely to need? happy to...

floor to ceiling (2.4m) 150mm x 300mm roughly two sides are the original corner (plastered blockwork)

I believe this is the correct forum lket me know if not. Boxing in 4 water pipes in the corner of a room using wooden batens and plasterboard and I'm not sure how to do the corner. Do you just butt the plasterboard together and nail onto the supports? If so wouldnt this leave the corner...

Was a normal bulb now 3x spots. (problem before and after change) I have a spare pull cord switch and will try swapping them, should have thought of testing that! :roll: Will let you know how I get on

Just a quick one hopefully. My bathroom light flickers everso slightly, not all the time and not with any noticeable pattern, no other lights on. Have changed the bulb and the whole light fitting and still does it, any ideas what could be causing this and where I should start looking...

I did consider that but i am not sure how old it is. Think it may ahve been the original consumer unit which was relegated to just storage heaters. I will ask the advice of the electrician before I remove it.

The current redundant switch's have had the flex that comes out of them removed, they are now just a switch with a hole :?: Looking at it it seems that these goto a seperate comsumer unit, probably due to the fact it was economy 7 or some such. Will look at having the consumer unit removed...

It will be ok with very little ducting and a flap on the outside?

May be a silly question but i just want to check before sorting :) Currently have a very old yellow looking extractor fan mounted in the bathroom extracting straight outside. Wall is plaster board, insulation then 900mm of brick and the current extractor protrudes about 150mm from the wall...

Thanks for your help, Will chase them for the documentatioin

The storage heaters and bar heater have all been removed, just finished having central heating installed. They were a switch with flex coming out the bottom. The switch/power for the immersion heater is now redundant as that has been removed too. Washing machine, tumble dryer, freezer are all...

They are corgi registered, havnt had a letter from corgi or a benchmark form filled in (admitidly they only finished beging of this week) The 22mm pipe is original pipework (Bungalow is 1950ish) and yes its a condensing boiler. I was under the impression it would be reduced but not none...

Just had a new hot water instalation, combi boiler in a small 2 bed bungalow. Boiler is about 6m from mains and about 2 meters from the bathroom taps and 3 meters from kitchen taps, however the kitchen taps go up into the loft then down again for the combi (using 22mm pipe for the hot there...

thanks :) well we will see what happens looks like they may have to move the boiler they just plumbed in anyway as you cant open the front - the fusebox is in the way and I dont trust them to move that! Shame you dont know what a companys workmanship is like until after the job...

should I expect the plumbers to make good the damage they have done then if it was caused by the hammer action? as for the previous questions: The house was built 1950ish Mortar mix is, not sure on the difference but is quite sandy and can easily be dug out - I think Damp proof is...
