I'm a big fan of the Airflow Icon fans. I had one in my downstairs loo and a humidistat-controlled one in the bathroom for probably 20 years with no issues whatoever and at least one redecoration for each room Regards Tet PS This was my previous house - I now have MVHR with no extractors

My vote is for the condensate pipe Tet

I am making good progress insulating my shed that I constructed on the same footprint as the original shed and garage so as not to antogonise the planners. The floor slopes about 5" left to right from this photo and water comes in on the right hand side, underneath the concrete gravel boards...

My main worry is that looks like a heavy rad. It's very likely that the pipework itself is now the main support for the rad and this is NOT a good idea. You might be able to get away with just draining down that rad. You'll need something to force down the TRV to properly close it but the other...

Thanks to everyone for their advice - especially Scally. I did indeed go to Smiths and ended up with two 150mm Caspian heaters. This coupled with a new combi boiler give a really neat solution that did everything I originally asked for I do however have a follow-up question I'd like to make...

Ideally, you'd replace the asbestos as the thing will only get worse. As a temporary alternative you could use bitumenous (sp?) paint, not cheap but avoids doing anything to the asbestos https://www.screwfix.com/p/bostik-5ltr-black-silk-waterproofing-wood-metal-paint/82914 Regards Tet

I bought mine in 2004. I use it every day. It's a hardshell Master Spa (re-badged as Ocean Spas) Very lucky in that it has still all its original (3) motors. A bit like Trigger's broom it has had two replacement lids, two replacement ozone units, a replacement heater/control box. I'm looking to...

I've had Kinetico for many years and have had my current Harvey for about 3. I completely concur with the advice about non-electric ones I'm very happy with the Harvey, but I am now permanently committed in to their curved salt blocks that are more pricey than I would like. Regards Tet

Thank you for the replies. The boiler is a Windhager pellet boiler that sits outside the main house - the required vent sizing I got from the Service Engineer/Installer The storeroom is a timber framed/slate-roofed lean-to. 1m deep, 4m wide (hence two garage doors) and the opening is 1.8m high...

I'm looking for material for a very specific application. I have an outside storeroom that I am fitting 2 x 2m roller garage doors to. I have a storeroom has a boiler inside that needs10 sq cm of ventilation and I'd like to stop the doors down securely onto a solid surface that has ventilation...

As you seem to be averse to screw-secured fittings. You could fix a large coach bolt (or a timber screw) diagonally across and through the wooden corner joint and secure your tensioner to that Regards Tet

What about a stainless trapeziform thing? Regards Tet

However good adhesion you will get whilst fixing the tiles there is no way that you can prevent the inevitable movement and flexing that will compromise the grouting and lead to the failure of the tiling. Personally I'd remove the panels AND plasterboard and replace with waterproof boarding of...

These would work - no? https://www.oatey.com/faqs-blog-videos-case-studies/blog/plumbing-supply-boxes-homeowner-benefits-and-options US product , but ebay might be your friend https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=oatey+box&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1313 Regards Tet

I'd use a "chrome" pipesnap straight over the plastic and an insert to the rad Regards Tet

Could you not just bury the pipe a little deeper and use a cold forming bend and avoid a joint entirely? Regards Tet

Admittedly my garden gates were massively over-engineered (4x2 and 25mm loglap) but a 2m x 1.8m wooden gate worked out at ~75kg I had lateral load questions that the forum was exceptional at giving me guidance on https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/garden-gate.639905/ Regards Tet

Sorry to hijack the thread, but is this really possible? I've just blown the corner off a couple of fence posts trying to drill into them (eejit). I can get the pieces back on fairly invisibly, but can I really use superglue???? Regards Tet PS - To the OP - Is it possible to make some...

Thank you for such a detailed reply. You are absolutely correct, I failed to read Scally's recommendation properly. I really like the idea of high-level heaters. That frees up the floor space and both avoids (most) potential damage from ball games and investigative little fingers Our old...
