Where would you place the rad?Could I use a bathroom rad/towel rail as the kitchen does not need a massive BTU output?

I am refitting a small kitchen.To allow the positioning of both firdge and washing machine on floor I want to position the radiator above worktop level. Does this seenm absurd or sensible,and does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your coments-I think limelite will do the trick!

I have hacked all the old plaster off an external wall.The old plaster was black ash mortar form 1900 and some recent Carlite brown.A leaking gutter and the DPC meant it had to come off.I plan to apply two coats od sand/cement3:1 and then getv a npro mto skim the wall and the rest of the walls...

I have to replace a failed stop tap under sink with usual array of tees etc.I would like to use Push-fit for safety reasons but I think the copper may be imperial and I know that there may be compatibility issues. I understand thar 3/4 tube requires a special olive for compression and cannot...

Having browsed various posts I am surprised to learn fittings seem to fail quite frequently.I can understand why plastic fittings are vulnerable but surprised to discover compression joints can fail (assuming that a good olive has been used).Am I just being a bit pessimistic?

Thanks for your advice-any idea which merchants stock the Monument or can you suggest an online source?Thanks in advance

I have been using a cheap version fron Screwfix.I like the idea of the Rothenburger given their all-round quality but know Monument do one too.Can you please advise on the better option or would you say the jaw dropper is the best?

I have to remove a bidet and I need to cap off the waste .What is the name of the part I need ?Is it a socket plug?I would be grateful for any advice that can be provided.Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks Bahco it works fine.I have set the float so it fills adequately but I could do with lengthening the vertical arm.I think the merchants must have had people fitting them wrong and has overegged the reading bit.I just feel that I may have missed something crucial. Quite a good solution...

I have fitted in haste a new Torbeck as I was faced with a tiny cistern which could not accommodate a Delchem float valve. The bloke in the merchants said to read instructions but I was confused and could not grasp how to adjust the telescopic arms so I managed to get a reasonable fill...

I believe the landscaper laid the patio must have encroached within this limit.There is damp in the kitchen so I will look to solve the problem-any advice please?

I understand that a DPC must be 150mm above the (external)ground level.Should it also be 150mm above the concrete floor of a kitchen?

I have replaced the diverter valve,the fan ,thermistor and potentiometer involving two visits from CORGI fitter.On Saturday pm therewas no firng up and no voltage to fan which did not run.I am planning to renew the driver board.The fitter believes this in needed and the fault-finding seems to...

thanks for all your help and the link to the manual.I have a copy as I had the boiler from new.It has been a sound boiler.Its been a real help in these cols dark times.

IT is a genuine Bosch part-no.386 227(GC) and is a harness potetiometer.I also bought a spare thermistor(379 785) at the same time.These spares could be scarce and a relative has the same model so it may come in handy. We do not have controls and have low gas consumption.We all wear jumpers...

Thanks for your reply Hailsham.You are right-we have no renmote controls.Heat is switched on with a roller switch and temperature is controlled manually.I hope this extra information clarifies the situation

Our Worcester 280 RSF has a temperature control knob which used to click and activate the heating.I do not seem to be able to control the heating as before.I have read the fault-finder and I suspect I need a new potentiometer.I have bought one in readiness.It has a spindle one end and has three...

I think you will make the situation worse if you continue to use the plunger.This will probably compact the blockage.You say that you have a leak at the junction.Do you mean it is leaking from the pan connector? You may have a very unpleasant job.The blockage could be at the U bend in your...
