I have installed a shower tray and tiled up to the top of it. I now need to install a shower enclosure. Should I first silicone all round the tray to seal it to the tiles and then install the enclosure afterwards? The bottom of the uprights will be slightly forwards in this case due to the...

In a shower, when you apply liquid membrane over cement board and then tile over it, how does it work exactly in repelling water? I presume if you seal the grout lines and silicone the corners/edges, water shouldn’t in theory get to the liquid membrane layer. But if it does, I can’t see how the...

60cm will be exactly the same width as the unit below

Its my French holiday home.

Do you think its possible to change this to a standard 60cm hob without causing any issues with the structural integrity of the worktop or proximity to the wall?

5 rads. Not sure about the size.

Yes, I’ve solved it. Boiler is 3 years old. I did a boiler reset. And then instead of closing the three working radiators completely off, I left then one quarter turn open. They still get very hot but enough heat now gets to the remaining two. For some reason turning them off stops the flow for...

Also I removed the only radiator in the loft. Were simple tees from the flow and return pipes. I cut its pipes as as close to the tee as possible and put blanking nuts. Wudve thought would improve flow if anything.

There does appear to be inadequate flow. The pipes are 15mm except for the first 50cm or so from/to the boiler where they are 22mm. I had my thermostat changed to a Nest thermostat a few months back. Could that have been a factor? Cannot really expose all pipework but the pipework down from...

Yes

Two radiators on my heating system. I believe the last two, are not getting hot. There was previously a lot of air in the system which I removed. The boiler pressure is at 1.5bar, should I increase this? I closed both valves on all the working radiators and still no luck!

It is blanked off. I was planning to actually put a toilet up there but it sounds like it will be useful to solve this issue. So even though its called AAV, would it let air out also?

I’m having an issue with air flowing back through the plumbing system and siphoning dry the shower trap causing a smell in the bathroom. I’ve teed the main 4 inch pipe up into the loft. Would putting a vent cowl or air admittance valve at the end of this pipe in the loft solve the issue. The...

Is vermiculite loose lay insulation fine to use on top of insulation coverable downlights such as englight EN-DLM981X?

I went for the Dualflo in the end, thanks for the advice! It was just under £1000 all in. For the overflow, can I just tee into the overflow for my boiler?

I’m not metered. I didn’t notice that! I’ll give them and Harvey’s a call on Monday to ask the important questions.

I found one in the end that works for 1.3bar https://www.tapworks.co.uk/sites/tapworks/files/2020-01/tapworks-user-installer-handbook.pdf

So looks like I gotta return the BWT one

Do you know a good mains pump I could use?

It’s like double the price
