Any ideas chaps?

Dear all Considering pressurising my open vent system. I understand the parts needed are vessel, PRV, gauge and filling loop. My question is, can the vessel be fitted in the upstairs airing cupboard so it's out of the way. Then Can the PRV and filling loop be fitted away from...

The only threat to gas fired wet systems I feel in the future are heat pump air conditioning units. Very very efficient and has the option of cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.

Dear All I plan on moving my toiliet to another wall approx 1.3m from where it currently is. Please see pics below - I have the grey 6" soil pipe popping out of the floor, which is cut off at floor level and the WC connector male end goes into the pipe. I want to move the toilet to...

Also make sure your connection are tight both ends otherwise you can have problems in the future. Also if this was me installing I would only charge £50 and I would supply the cable so not sure where you are getting £129 from. Thanks

Hi All I want to paint the inside of my garage which is brick as per the picture. I have 30L of sandtex smooth masonry paint - what is the best type of roller for this, I have a 12" frame and scuttle - also what do I need to do with the first coat? Water down or use a stabilizing solutions...

Just purchased a 12 way MK CU - the casing is so flimsy the plastic nearly broke when opening the flap and it falls off upon normal use. Just prepping for tomorrow's job by getting bus bar cut and ready for a high integrity install and 2 of the 6amp MCB are faulty! One is showing "green"...

If BG are the cheapest go with them, also can't see them going bust so you have a stronger legal position if it goes tits up. Also under the warranty period they will be with you within 24 hrs (normally same day if called before 10). For independents you have to rely on them fitting you in...

Best rad I feel are the rads in wickes that have a very nice look and are quality. They are made for wickes by Quinn radiators, if you buy Quinn branded ones they come with the side and top grille but with the wickes ones they come separate. All in all a top quality radiator. I also like...

This could have been me http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/mar/02/zoe-anderson-manslaughter-andrew-hartley Just goes to show my point this poor lady did not know her install was doomed, this man is classed as competent.

Thanks :D

But only because I knew it did not look right, if I was not around and it was just my wife she would have accepted and trusted that the engineers fitting the boiler would have done it right- my flue elbow was just about sealed and over time could have come off filling the room with exhaust...

Just a question for my knowledge on an open vent system does the boiler call for the pump for CH only? Or does it use it to heat up the stored water in the tank when I select HW only on the wall programmer. Thanks
