Cheers Ban-all-Sheds - i think i see, so basically i can only run them vertically. So could i take it up to the loft from the TV then down to the socket?

ok thanks, i'll have a look to see what the drain cock situation is to know how to proceed. once i've changed the radiator, so i simply repressurise by opening the loop valve on the boiler?

Axel, yes its got the filing loop as you say, its part of the underneath of the boiler. Ok, so i know to open the loop to add pressure to the system - so how do i loose the pressure? yes only planning to do the one radiator. Ta, Guy

Thanks Axel and AJ Rob Its not fed from a tank in the loft, so i assume its the cold water feed? Will what you've said apply then Axel? Also its a bigger radiator because the room is too cold, but there is only one thermostat, in the hall downstairs. The radiator i'm changing is upstairs...

hi, its 20cm wider and a double radiator, rather than a small single. I've had a measure up and the piping has enough play to match up to the new size. My major worries are over re-pressurising the system after i swap them over, as i'm not sure its as simple as it sounds. Cheers, G

...ha ha yeh i new it wouldnt be that easy, so whats the score then!?

Cheers Joe, would i need any waterproofing or is tiling on top of the ply good enough?

Hi All, Has anyone used these? looking to install them on some of my kitchen cupboard doors. I've seen some in B&Q, but not sure if anywhere else does them? I also assuming they are fairly simple to fit as well. Cheers,

Hi all, I currently have a plastic bath panel in place, which looks crud! As the rest of the bath surround is tiled i want to replace the plastic panel with a nice tiled one (much like the style shown in the link to the pic below)...

Excellent thank you!!
