Didn't notice the date. Only trying to be helpful :evil:

I've just fitted the same type of shower base, it does look so much better than a raised one doesn't it ! I bought a top access waste to save the hassle of having to fit an access door. It was only a couple of £ more than a standard type. Compared to the cost of buying or making a fire...

Hi Guys, Part of finishing my project house is I need to fit a fire retardant ceiling to the integral garage. I have bought plenty of insulation and the correct fire retardant plaster board and am going to get it over plastered to meet the fire Regs but wanted to ask what may appear to be a...

Hi Guys, I have bought an old house with a partly finished extension. Part of the extension has included an integral garage with a fire rated door leading into the utility room that then leads into the conservatory and main house via a partially glassed external quality door. There fire door...

Thank you both for your replies. That has given me the confidence to do the job now. I must admit I had never heard of "Tanking" before but once I read up on it I bought a kit today and started to install it this evening. I'll post some pictures once finished. :lol:

Hi Guys. I have bought some 300x300mm granite tiles with the intention to tile my shower cubical. When I collected them I was amazed at the weight of them (10mm thick) and queried the suitability with the salesman but he assured me they are suitable for both wall and loor and that the new...

Law of physics/law of gravity, that's just being pedantic as others knew what I meant. Yes I am attempting to feed the upstairs en suite from the downstairs loo due to it being easier to access the pipework this way rather than trying to tap into the upstairs water supplies due to the lay out...

Thanks for your advice Guys. I will be investigating over the weekend so will report back my findings

Hi all. I'm after some advise regarding a newly fitted en suite. We recently bought a house with an unfinished extension. During the renovation I have fitted an en suite bathroom but have trouble with the hot water pressure. I found the easiest way to get water to the basin was to run the...

Hi Blagard & Mandate. A big big thank you to you both for your help and advise on my central heating problem. The new genuine Honeywell syncron motor arrived today, fitted and now I have perfecty functioning central heating system at last. I couldn't have repaired it without your help (Unless I...

I think I will follow your lead and stick to genuine parts. Thanks again, I will let you know if replacing the motor worked. Best regards Steve

Thanks again Guys. It does all seem to point to the motor as there is power getting to it. I poked around inside the switch with a neon screwdriver as it is insulated and I would at least get a warning if I touched something live but thanks for the warning, much appreciated :D My last...

Good morning Gentlemen. I have checked the wiring as you mentioned and here are the results. The grey wire is permanently live - With the hot water thermostat turned down to low so it is off and the central heating turned on with the timer advance button and the room stat turned to on the...

thanks again Guys. I will ensure the lever is released before testing tomorrow. I will report my findings.

Wow, thanks to you both Blagard and Mandate. I will run the tests you have suggested tomorrow and let you know my findings. We're sat in front of our log burner so at least we're not freezing, just the rest of the house is currently a bit chilly :D

Hi there, Thanks for coming back to me so quickly. The 3 way valve is a Honeywell V4073A. I suspected that wasn't working correctly when I moved in so I replaced it straight away with a new one but that didn't make any difference.

Hi Guys and girls. I am having a problem with my Danesmoor 20/25 oil fired boiler where by it doesn't respond when I turn the central heating on. It works fine with the hot water and I can get heat into the radiators if I manually move the 3 way valve switch over to the manual position but this...
