Do you mean on the side of the cupboard opposite the garage wall and near the front door? I have no idea if the roomsat is best to be near or away from the front door or radiators. I had thought about bringing the wire down in the airing cupboard and putting the roomstat between the airing...

This is a rough sketch of my bungalow. Could someone advise the best place for a roomstat in the hall please?

Thanks Bab. I would change the TRV in the hall for a lockshield anyway beacause I'm fitting all new ones, my TRV's are all older than ancient so time for new TRV's and lockshields throughout. My boiler is gas fired so I take the advice for bed 3 which doesn't have a TRV. Thought as much...

My roomstat is in my south facing lounge. There are TRV's in 2 bedrooms the hall, kitchen and bathroom. The third bedroom and of course the lounge do not have TRV's. As the sun heats the lounge very much would I be better off to relocate the roomstat to the hall (which runs behind all...

meter is outside in an inspection box.

The best way of describing the CU position: Imagine standing at the pan. CU is ceiling height on wall to your left, level with you, with wall approx 8 inches away. If a CU move was suggested I'd have it dropped into the garage which is only another 6 feet away to left, should say I'm in a...

I'm about to convert a large hall cupboard into a new cloakroom with WC and basin. My consumer unit is located in this cupboard, do I need to have it moved because it will effectively be a zoned area or will boxing in be sufficient? Thanks.

I'll be honest, I don't really want to spend that much. I think I'll buy a 50 or 70 gallon circular loft tank and upgrade the cold water storage instead. I've got other things around the house that need that sort of spend first. Thanks anyway.

Thanks, As a very rough approximation before I get a reg'd guy in, what would this likely cost? I've got what I consider a relatively straight forward airing cupboard plumbed in the normail way. Plumber can leave all the old stuff in the loft for me to remove. On top of that I'm in a...

Thanks for that corgiman. Would you actually recommend an unvented cylinder though or fit a larger cold water tank and stay open vented? I need to order the shower this week and don't know whether to get pumped or not.

I didn't know, thanks. That just the sort of advice I'm here for. Is that a plumbing registration rather than corgi or a specific part of corgi? Can I also ask which route you'd recommend on my original question?

I'm doing a bathroom upgrade and am going to fit an Aqualisa Quartz digital shower. At this stage would the pro's recommend changing my loft tank for 50 gallons + as I only have a 25 which isn't enough cold stored water and fitting pumped version of shower or changing my dhw cylinder for...

Mmmmmmm. Maybe I should rephrase that to "plug in trailing adsl filters". It does sound painful to read it

Should have said I've got some 3m gel filled splices so I could do a proper job of extending the wire using some more genuine wire from a BT hard wired extendion.

I could drop it into the hall cupboard or my office (spare bedroom) and run the extensions from there. The only problem would be that there's not enough of the original wire. If I use new 2 pair of CW1308 spec would a BT guy know it wasn't their own stuff? Ideally if in the office I would...

My old style phone master socket is stupidly situated in a kitchen cupboard. The drop wire comes in the loft and through the ceiling (bungalow) into a wall cupboard. If I re-wire this and substitute an nte5 (I have a collection of genuine ones raided from old offices when knocked about) would...

Thanks for the advice. I was actually thinking that a slice in the existing vent and then T the feed in might be easier than replacing the section like for like i.e. replacing about a foot of pipe including the feed and vent T's. I suppose my main question would be whether a combined...

Further to an earlier topic of mine I've finally been up the loft armed with a magnet and sure enough I have a fatal attraction on the flow around the cold feed (not up the feed itself) which appears to be magentic for almost 6 inches upstream (boiler direction). I have been told on this...

Seriously....... Any recommendations about a half decent and cheap(ish) wet vac.

On my thread I've been advised not to use pushfit so, not being an expert, I'd say use compression for any joints you do.
