The problem was there before the new boiler was installed, so not his responsibility to resolve. Especially when I told him about my "existing problem" and how I hope the new boiler would resolve it.

Hi 1 year ago we moved into a house and 1 of the 2 rads in the lounge comes on cool or not at all. I put this down to an old boiler. Last week we had a new boiler fitted and the system power flushed. I still have an issue with the lounge rad. Both of the pipes are stone cold. So far...

I've done some further research and LEDs seem to be cost efficient given they last 15-20 times longer than Halogen bulbs. This alone warrants the purchase. I think I will replace as and when my existing Halogen bulbs blow. This will enable me to spread the cost and take advantage of future...

Not a problem for me. I like the look of spotlights.

I have no problem with the spotlights and they give out perfectly adequate lighting with Halogen bulbs. My question is more around the cost effectiveness of replacing the Halogen bulbs with LEDs.

Hi - what are your view on cost effectiveness of LED 'v' Halogen. The upfront cost of purchasing LEDs is high c£15 copared to Halogen c£2. Is the LED light really going to save me £13 per bulb? I recently moved house and have approximately 50-60 Halogen bulbs dotted around the house. It...

Thanks both for the response. I've done dome research online and there seems to be translucent Sikkens Cetrol HLS plus for Mahogany, Light Oak, Pine etc .... Not sure what his means - can you help?

Hi - I recently purchased a hardwood door from B&Q: Click Here In the instructions it says to protect the door with three coats of High Performance Woodstain. However, I don't know which one to buy and I don't really want to paint the door because I like the grain of the wood. I'd prefer...

Thanks all - any idea where I could buy full height bi-fold doors? They all seem to be slightly shorter to accommodate the top track.

Hi, I have a separate thread on the shower and nobody can help identify it. I wanted to be sure the distance from the pump to the shower head has no bearing before I replace the shower. http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=258746 The pump I have is the Wickes Twin Impleller 1.5...

Hi - I have a shower pump at the bottom of my airing cupboard which services a shower apprioximately 3.5m away. I estimate the length of pipe from the shower pump to the shower head is between 7-8 meters. I'm having some difficulties with the temperature fluctuating and as I'm in a new (old)...

Hi - I'm still strugglign with this one - here are a few shots of the inside of the shower. Because it only has one handle, I wonder if the temperature is pre-set internally. Any ideas how I could replace the parts? I have no idea how this can work with a single handle?

Hi - is it possible to use a bi-fold door like a normal one, so it's just hinged on the side rather than using the track at the top of the door? I don't like the tracks because the folded door juts out perpendicular to the doorframe and I;d like it to fold back. I see two drawbacks: a)...

Thanks for the reply - the ones B&Q now see only come with an internal door and track.

Hi, ok maybe I'm asking daft questions so pls keep with me... Does this mean the track is embedded within the frame and I need to get my wood chisel set out? Thx, Nick

Hi - I've seen some internal bi-fold doors in B&Q but I'm a bit worried about the metal track and how visible it will be. Has anybody used these doors and how visible is the track? Is there a way to hide it? Thanks, Nick

I'm an optimist :D !

Hi - I recently posted to see if anybody could identify my mizer shower but nobody can, so I need to buy a new one :o( Thanks to those who replied. However, I have another problem ... the pipe centres are 200mm, so I need to find a replacement shower with 200mm centres but I can't find any...

Hi - can somebody please help me identify who makes the shower shown in the pic. It has the name "Bolding London" on it but I can't find any reference on the net The thermostat is playing up so I need to take it apart. Thanks, Nick
