Thank you so much for the info, I am thinking of actually going ahead with a new boiler for peace of mind as well as I know its an oldie, did well though I think. Hes charging 700 for installation but also 200 to change from 15mm pipe to 22mm, he said he will see the pressure and decide, if...

Thank you so much for the reply. I will learn more about intergas then.

Hi Thanks for the reply I am in london and the gas pipe coming in to the property is 22mm but what goes into the boiler is 15 so he is charging 200 pounds to change that which is not part of the 700 pounds he is charging for labour. This is basically going on the same wall, exactly same place...

Hi I had posted few days ago my potterton puma was not lighting up, pilot flame kept dying, it sorted itself out and started working fine, or so I thought. Well yesterday it packed up completely, the pilot light is on but when I put the hot water on the big flame is not starting, its the same...

Hi I have ordered the celotex board insulation to put in between the rafters and floor, the rafters are exactly 120 to 130mm and same is on the loft floor. I am planning to cover it all up with 100mm board and then board it up. My first question is would 100mm board insulation be enough. I am...

Thanks a lot for the info, well i have measured up all the rads, they are all about 600mm tall and width is 3 are 1300mm and 2 are 700 I am getting 700mm easily but 1300mm's are slightly pricier may be due to the fact that they are an odd size? In that case should I go 1200 or 1400 and extend...

Thanks for the info but what if they are 10mm on the larger side? Would I need to cut the pipe and redo the pipework from under the floorboard?

I am in West london

Hi I am planning to replace all the rads in my home but all are of weird sizes, most of them are 620mm high and width is 710mm or 1120mm. They are either 10 or 20mm bigger or smaller than the standard sizes available now. The height is not that big an issue as I hope to put the rads in a way...

Hi Thanks for the reply, I did search and have seen loads of videos too on this but I just wanted to do the boarding in a way that if I do need to convert it into a loft conversion then I dont need to redo everything from beginning. So basically lay the foundations right. Or should I look into...

My house is solid wall so I am sure it is a very old property about 100 years now, I am planning to loft board the whole loft. It is about 10m by 5m wide. The insulation last in was done in 96(there is a slip on one of the rafter that states that) The joists are about 120mm and insulation is...

Thank you so much for all the replies I Did find measuring tricky as its different from the outside part of wall and different on the inside part of the wall. This is just before and after the frame, would you know which one should I really be taking into account. Like the frame is in middle...
