I have been having an issue in my conservatory with effervesence, there is a wall by the window that is pushing salt out and making all the paint bubble :evil: I have been told that using a bathroom paint as opposed to a normal silk or matt would help? Can anyone recommend a decent sealer...

I do not have a working room stat at the moment. I have lowered the temp to 70 degrees because the rads were to hot to touch last night! Surely this will save me oil also? Yes, all rads are getting hot on setting 1 but I have read the pump should be on setting 2? I have a 4 bed bungalow...

Just checked my boiler now and the temp is set at 80 degrees, is that correct? Also, the red pump was set to position 1, is that correct also? Sorry for the tedious questions, someone has messed with the boiler and I do ot recall the settings. Cheers

Is there nothing simple I can try myself first before I pay hand over fist to another plumber? :D

I see how that could cause it but all other rads work fine? What is the solution? Cheers

They turn easily, but only for a turn or 2, then it is nigh on impossible! They used to turn 4 times each valve IIRC? It does heat up and go very hot, it just takes a while! I am a bit confused as to why these valves dont turn like they used to what with them being pretty new?

After having the bathroom refurbed earlier in the year we had a chrome towel rail rad installed. When the heating is put on all the rads in the house heat up really quickly but this one takes over an hour?? It has got a valve on either side which resemble the bottom left of these -...

I have a very old oil boiler which does the hot water and heating. I have put the hot water tank setting to 55-60 degrees but what should my boiler be set at? It has a red knob on the front with the temp in degree's so it is easily changed. I have noticed that my rad's are REALLY hot when on...

Really? It sounds more like this to me - http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=130904 especially as I have a salt like substance under the bubbles when I peel them?

Around the window in my my conservatory there is a patch of paint which is cracking and bubbling?? This happened last winter but it has been re decorated since and the decorator told me that he had sorted it with some type of paint? Any ideas what it is? I can post pics up if required...

I have been told it is something to do with the bricks??

I have got a bit of a problem in my conservatory...... On one of the walls by the window there is a patch of paint that is bubbling and cracking with a lot of "salt" like stuff coming under the paint? I had this problem at the start of the year but when it was decorated the decorator told...

65 for the water? What about the boiler? It is a very old one with a red thermo knob? Cheers

Just a quick question....... What should the temperature setting be on my hot water tank and on my oil boiler? Cheers :D

But mine are stuck on either 5 or off, hence me wanting to know a rough guide as to whether it will cost a little or a lot more :shock:

I thought as much. Surely it won't make much difference though?

anyone?

Well, the cold nights have started and the heating has been put on for the first time this past few days :( I live in an old bungalow with an old boiler and old radiators. Although all the radiators are working (after giving the valve a good knock :twisted: ) the TRV doesn't work to well...

There is NO product out there that will not rust, believe me! In my last bathroom I spent £70, yes £70 on a corner shower unit that was only big enough for a couple of bottles of shampoo and it rusted in just over a year :evil:

I've just ordered some of this stuff - http://www.choiceful.com/choiceful-id-715-Unibond-No-More-Nails-Translucent-Tape-19mm-x-1-5Mtr.html Basically, I have just re done our bathroom at a huge cost and I've used very expensive porcelain tiles. I dont want to drill any shower trays etc in...
