Ahh no i didnt buy it from there just thought id show you a pic. I found the helix on ebay and noticed the ebay store was actually a trades bathroom store near my workplace http://www.bathdisc.co.uk/shop/ When going into the store they had the helix priced up at £150 but i asked...

i recently bought a hudson reed thermostaic shower valve, came with crome fittings. I called up customer services (despite buying from local store) and asked if they sold a round trim, she asked for my name and address and sent me one out for free!! So aftersales care is good too. Bought the...

Striped out the pipe and installed Hep20, made the pipes simpler with less 90 bends etc, seems to have done the trick. Left the shock arrestor in there for good mesure!n bengasman LOL yeah there there has been "DIY alterations" i did that whoops ;) I always thought tape was needed on...

Hey good sealant doesnt have to be expensive. From what ive read on here the best is made by Dow Corning you cant get it in B&Q etc, but its about £3-£6 depending on where you buy it. Do a search on the Tiling forum and you'll find plenty there, the guys there are always raving on how good it...

The noises have been there since ive moved in 6 months ago. No new boiler. What if i change the pipework in that area for plastic Hep20? You think that would help?

Thanks for the reply andy, should have linked to my previous post... http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=784860 No the pipes arent clipped, they run across joists etc. Ive tried lowering the pump pressure, changed the trvs, bleeding rads.... Im in real need of some ideas :s The...

Okay so ive changed the faulty TRV and locksheilds in both bedrooms. Also i have added a water hammer shock arrestor close to where the banging was coming from. Now its a very small tapping noise, there is no movement in the pipes at all when i hear it so i dont think its movement in the...

Thanks Dippy for the response :) Aah i assumed that as it had 2 cables going to the single socket that it was on a ring. Silly me. Is there a way to determine whether its a ring? Assuming it is a ring, I intend to cut the ring at the point shown and run new cables to the extended ring...

From reading prevous posts etc on here, ive come up with the above plan. Few questions still bugging me... - From the existing socket the 2 cables connected to it, i dont know which direction they go. Does it matter which direction or can i simply cut either wire to attach the new socket...

Sorry guys yet another water hammer query! Have a Worcester 35CDi2 and when the flame and pump get going i get a tapping noise in the pipes upstairs. Not loud but enough to affect my sleep!! Ive tried turning down the pump speed, clipping down pipes and adding padding between pipes to...

I would like to drain my system to change a few valves. When connecting a hose to the drain tap and opening the valve nothing happens. Do i need to open a valve on the boiler? (Worcester 35CDi II) Any quick tips? ive searched the site and seen no other similar posts :( Ta

Hello! Its getting damn cold, and im begining to notice more cold draughts in the house. 1- We have a extractor hood in the kitchen and the ventilation pipe which is round is fed to a rectangular vent between the joist upstairs. We recently had carpet fitted and when the carpet was up i...

So..... the rep came this morning, saw the hole and no questions said they will replace it. Result! However they cant do it this side of xmas which is a real bummer. We have loads of furniture coming for that room before xmas and cant really settle in. Thanks again for all the replies guys

Hi mills check out the search function, plenty on here about that, or the 'Similar Topics' feature in your post.

Hi Trim67 thanks for the info mate, lots to consider there thanks. Yes the hole is missing yarn/tufts, and your right about the value of the carpet, i didnt think of it this way. At least i know not to expect too much, although im still going to really push for a decent settlement. Ill...

Thanks matty/gazza, yes makes sense, it doesnt seem like damage, just a hole. Also its in the middle of the room, so very unlikely that the fitter damaged it. That said im going to still push for a replacement unless they 'Show me the money!' Its booked in for Thursday, so ill let you all...

Yes true, i was thinking they would try to buy their way out too. Just that this will not be covered by the bed, but right next to the bed which will be walked on regularly. The area already seems fragile so im going to push for a replacement. Unless we get an offer we cant refuse 50% back...

Thanks Joe Gazza :)

Hi guys, just had new carpet installed on the weekend. Just noticed that there is a hole approx size of a 5p in a visible area. The 'fur' covers it but you can notice it if you looked. The company has offered to send a rep out to assess it, just wondering if it can be repaired, if so...

Thanks Gcol, been reading posts about Epoxy grout etc, was starting think i had used the wrong grout. Regards, SD
