The engineer is saying they could be smaller and be cheaper but not worth it as in his opinion they could deflect in the future and could cause cracks to appear.

Hiya, I'm about to submit plans for a loft conversion in a 1930's terrace in London. One builder who saw the plans questioned the need for a 254x146x37ub and a 203x133x30 ub beam together with a flitch beam and suggested 152x152x37UB x 2 plus a smaller size beam instead. I don't doubt the...

Yes i know. CU due to be changed soon as well as the 60A main fuse. Current shower working fine for 5 years, 9.5kw (previous used to be a 10.5kw which was replaced as broke down but used to trip after 10 mins of continued use understandable as needs 40a mcb) on 32a mcb (which is wrong on...

Hiya, Need some advice on showers. My CU will need to be upgraded and i have a 9.5kw shower in the house, i plan to install another one as will. Will i be able to add the second showers to an uprated CU unit? thanks.

The salesman do have a point. They now have to warn customers of the unsuitability of modern diesels if they are doing short runs only, plus i don't really see the point of a diesel if you're gonna do 10k over 2+ years as the DPF will clog up leaving you with unexpected problems as its not...

Same as above, never leave it to 20k, always change oil every 10k, just oil and filter would do. Diesel oil will turn black within an hour, however it will still be thin and runny, if its black tar/sludge like then its not been changed in years.

Hiya, Can anyone recommend a combi boiler that would deliver hot water to at least 2 taps (with out resorting to megaflo, system boilers) like: http://www.alpha-innovation.co.uk/products/Boilers/Combination+Boilers/InTec+50CS/1264482666 InTec 50CS Thanks.

Thnaks for the replies. I have managed to unblock a trap in a toilet but rodding may be beyond me, how about 3 doses of caustic soda before I call a plumber?

ALL. Looking for some advice., I have 2 toilets , one upstairs which is workign ok, one downstairs which is in the outback building and its this one which has a problem. When you do a normal flush the water level in the bowl is fine and stays teh same, however when you flush solid waste...

I have 2 thermostats, one is on the return pipe and one is on the wall next to the boiler. The one on the wall is set to 3c, does this need to be set to 5c? What does teh pipe stat need to be set on? Thanks.

All, My boiler is located in an outbuilding, due to teh cold weather its coming on quite often, especially at night when we dont really need it to, teh pipe frost stat (old honeywell type which can be set with a philips screwdriver) was set 30c, i have lowered this to 10c. The rads...

Folks, I'm interested in the Intergas boiler, just need to know about installing a magnaclean as some people are saying powerflushing/magnaclean is not needed???

The posts at B&Q are expensive, WICKES have similar and are cheaper.

LOL, i have also orderd polystyrene tiles as part of teh project to cure this.

Just trim it, i had to do teh same thing in my garden to next doors tree, in fact i have pared it right back, i would expect my neighbours to do teh same thing if it was my plants intruding.

Greetings on this miserable wet n cold day. I'm replacing my dilapidated fences and rotten shed, bought all materials and stroring them in the garden as the current weather will not alllow work to progress. My question is will it be ok to keep the ballast bags exposed outside?? For your...

Your problem could be teh oil cooler thermostat http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Oil_Cooler_Stat_-_Changing_%28TDCi%29 The part cost me £20 from ford and had it fitted by a back street mechanic, you will loose some coolant but it fixed teh problem for me. My temp gauge hardly...

Thinking about doing som work to my house, its a normal 3 bedroom house with a old WB combi boiler. Combi works on demand, sp if a tap is open downstaiers i get no hot water upstairs until that tap is switched off. Is there a way to overcome this apart from some system like Megaflow??
