There is a box on the side and this is set to 70 degrees. I didn't know this had nothing to do with the immersion heater and presumed it was set to a temperature whether I heated the water from my immersion heater or the central heating.

Oh yes, a thermostat, yes e o have one on the side. I have tried increasing this but I don't really think it makes a difference, also, if I just use the immersion heater my water is piping.

Please excuse my ignorance, I'm not familiar with technical terms, but what's a stat?

I have a condenser boiler, my radiators are heating up but the water is never piping hot. With the heating off and water on its just the same. I switch on for one hour and can have a wash etc but never a bath, it only gets hot and plentiful if its been on for several hours. Now, if I use my...

Hi and thank you for the reply. Forgive my ignorance but I don't understand when you say a continuous layer beneath the rafters, do you mean deep into the eaves, ie the bit we won't be using. Also we don't have any gaps to seal as we have managed a continuous run of Kingspan as they are huge...

I am in the middle of doing my loft, I have now put Kingspan in between all the rafters, before I get the plasterer to put plasterboards on and skim, do I firstly have to now put some form of membrane over the Kingspan which in turn will be between the Kingspan and the plaster boards? :cry...

Thanks for the tip but I have seen these and these area still not the ones I see in pubs etc. since posting I have now taken a gamble and dril with a fine bit into the very narrow frame, I have used the mirror plates and the said picture is now hanging on my wall, just have all the others to do...

I have some very heavy pictures to hang and will not be hanging these by picture wire as the pic sticks out from the wall and I want them flat. I purchased some picture/mirror plates which I have used in the past but when I got home the frames are too narrow to screw into and would split. What I...

I am only getting a trickle from the hot tap of my bath mixer taps. I need to change the valve thing inside, I mean the cylinder type thing inside the tap. I remember doing this once before but just on a single cold tap. Do I need to turn all the water, hot and cold off in order to do this, or...

Thank you DAZB and Bradleydecorating for your replys, both sensible answers, I just like the look of the lining paper when its painted and thought that maybe there was some sort of industrial strength paste to stick it on with.

My bathroom ceiling is not 100% and I have papered other ceiling with great success. Firstly can a bathroom ceiling be papered (probably with a heavy lining paper) and secondly is there a special type of paste I should use? I dont want this dropping on my head whilst I am in the shower. If...

Can I just say thank you elrobbo82 and TheDec for your advice, i will be getting to it ASAP.

a few weeks ago we had a roof leak and the rain has come through to our bedrooms, this was repaired but now as the time has gone on we have some small spots of black mould on the wallpaper, what is the best remedy, should i strip and leave to dryout and then repaper, i have heard there is...

My pond is roughly 500 gallons, a friend of a friend is having to empty theirs due to ever increasing grandchildren, his filter is quite a good one and is for approx 5000 gallons, would this make a huge difference as to what size filter I have or will it just keep it extra crystal clear. Please...

Hi and thank you JohnD for your reply, my PC has been an absolute mess with connecting but here goes I am up and running again. I have checked the tank and all seem fine up there and I have bled the radiators. I am unsure as to bleeding the valves on the pump so have uploaded this picture, are...

My central heating boiler pump is a Grundfos. It is not a combi heating system and we still have a working immersion heater/tank. After problems earlier in the year which has now been very expensively repaired, I am starting to notice that when I am in the bathroom, which is were our boiler is...

Thank you all for your replies. Very interesting and has only confirmed all that I have read on the internet. I will certainly read all the links supplied and the days go by I getting closer and closer to the deadline for payment but will take all your good advice and everyone elses and ignore...

I received a letter from 'Parking Eye' it said I stayed for longer than allowed and have to pay £50 if not this goes to £80. I pondered on this and then received another, not so much a reminder, but he same reference no. and this time with photographs. I have also pondered on this, and in the...

Oh gosh, I thought I had it and now I'm confused again. Their boiler is not a combi its just an old Servowarm but has been very well maintained. After what I had read on here and all the replies was thinking of.. Setting the boiler to heat the radiatiors twice a day, but NOT set to heat the...
