How can I have a diesel heating in a building, when I have gone to google to research, they simply talk about this being for cars etc ?

Thanks for the info. The construction was filled with 100mmm cavity insulation, not sure if anything else can be done ? With the loft, I can see its insulated but not sure how I can tell that is the source of heat loss. The thing here is that the room needs to be heater, the insulation helps in...

Can I use this indoors where the doors/windows are not usually open for ventilation ? Secondly, which is more economical to run, this or the portable gas heater ?

Thanks very much for this useful bit of information, log burners are definitely out of the question. TBH, I do tend to sit in one place (in front of my monitors) but occasionally move around. One thing I did not mention, I have a tall fridge/freezer in the room, is this adding to the problem ?

Thanks for the reply mate. Are these safe to use indoors ? The outbuilding has 2 windows and a French door, the windows are closed at the moment and the doors only open when I step out occasionally.

Hi All. I have a 20sqm outbuilding which I use as an office mostly during the day and at night during busy periods, with the current covid situation I am working a lot more from the outbuilding. At the moment, it has one of these designer 2kw wall hung heater, completely useless. I have had to...

Hi All. I am constructing an outbuilding office, its not to live in and doesnt need to comply with building regulations. I plan to insulate the floor using 50mm celotex. The walls are solid 6 inch concrete blocks. I am looking for the cheapest way to insulate it. Any ideas please, explanation...

Hi All. I am having works done at my house and unfortunately the driveway got damaged by lorries during excavation etc. Now I want to replace the driveway, but I have a few questions. The driveway there before was been there for some time now, it was done before we moved in, how long ago, I...

At this stage, is it better to take it all out and install a ridge? Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I have a roof which abuts that of the next door, the builder said that he has put a channel where the 2 roof tiles meet, the builder said that he installed the channel and used cement to flatten it and tidy it up. This is a picture of what the channel looks like. When I asked the...

Hi All. Is there an easy way to remove old window tape like the one pictured ? Thanks in advance.

What's the pink paste product called?

I used WD40, although i read that rubbing alcohol would also work. I will post the result up now.

Hi all. Unfortunately I have some gaffer tape used to protect lead flashing from render mess. Due to the covid stuff it was left there for a long time and it got stuck. What i did was to use hair dryer to heat it and remove some of the most stubborn part of it. The picture attached is what I...

Ahh got you. The issue is that its not just a single beam, there are 2 and it will have an L shape. Dont think anyone would like a lowered ceiling downstairs with a L shape.

Hi All. We are going through the process of extending hte house, just ralised that one of the beams specified by the engineer is higher than the ceiling joists. This has introduced a step upstairs just before the door, this affects 2 rooms only. I am worried about kids not knowing this and...

Sorry I got my terms wrong concerning daisy chaining and star wired, the jelly thing has 3 holes for a cables and not 2.

Very similar to what I want to achieve, the only difference in my case is that I need the router downstairs, I have far too much IT kit to wire them all in the loft. I wish I could TBH (its much more neater than what I am about to embark upon). I need easy to access to patch network cables in...

I showed him the NTE5C Mk4 VDSL plate. I ordered the following.

Thanks for this, so you are saying everything in the sketch is correct apart from the 2 x orange cable coming off the master socket and daisy chanined for the 2 telephone lines ? Here you want me to use blue instead of orange ?
