Hi Copea Thanks for sticking with me, I switched the boiler off the other day and allowed everything to cool down for a couple of hours, and remember thinking it was strange how the radiator gradually increased in temperature. I'm going to take a floorboard up in the cupboard next to the...

I'm now convinced the bathroom rad cant be connected to the hot water looking at the cylinder, I can see flow and return to the boiler, off the return, a 15mm pipe goes up to feed the F+E, from the flow pipe a 22mm vent also goes up to the F+E, hot water comes from the top of the cylinder via a...

I've added some pictures

I've added some pictures of it helps at all

picture 1 red flow from boiler also 22mm vent to F+E blue return to boiler green 15mm from return up to F+E feed picture 2 light blue 22mm feed from cold water tank above cylinder red overflow to outside from cold tank picture 3 red from cylinder to hot...

you are correct, it is gravity hot water and pumped CH, I assume the flow is the pipe with the pump on it, how easy is it for a anti gravity valve to be retro fitted, as I cant see one. also one further thought, if the bathroom rad is plumbed to the hot water circuit, why do all the other...

Hi Copea, thanks once again for your reply, is there a way to confirm if the bathroom radiator is definitely piped to the cylinder, I'm guessing in summer when the thermostat in the hall is set low enough not to call for heat, and the other radiators don't warm up, but the bathroom does, this is...

so I turned the boiler off completely, and let the radiators and pipes cool completely for a couple of hours, I've just turned it back on, and felt both pipes to the bathroom radiator, it appears this radiator has the flow on the left and return on the right, unlike the living room radiator...

Hi copea, yes the water is on constant, how common was/is it to have a radiator plumbed in to the hot water, in summer if the trv's are not set to off, heat can be pushed into other rads on the upstairs circuit, would this just be by convection through the pipe work thanks for your reply

But this is a bypass radiator it's on permanently, it never goes cold as per my post

Hi, I have an older central heating system with gravity hot water ideal Mexico floor standing boiler, cylinder on landing f+e in loft, I recently had cause to switch off the bathroom radiator this radiator has lock shields both sides, I turned off the right lock shield fully and the radiator...

My wife has seen this kitchen colour on the flash advert, is this familiar to anybody anybody know what manufacturer and colour name

I'm guessing the rod is at the back, as I can't see it in the pictures, so thanks for your input

Hi, I've ordered a new basin that recommended a certain click clack waste, and my monobloc mixer is supplied with a pop up waste, if I'd rather use the click clack is it just a case of not fitting the rods for the pop up waste and install the tap as normal thanks in advance

I know they won't take out the Imperfections that's what I will use filler for but they will help hide the multitude of previous coverings on the ceiling

The imperfections at worst pre sanding are probably half a mm, I think I will do some more research in to the many zinsser products ive seen recommended from bin to gardz and everything inbetween.

Thanks for your response, I think by the time Ive finished scraping and given it a good sand over with 120 grit and a sanding pole I reckon the uneveness will be minimal, thanks for the tip re matt paint, I actually prefer the matt finish, any recommendations on scrubbable matt paint, it seems...

Hi did you manage to mist coat and primer using zinsser 123 how did it go? Carl

My bathroom ceiling had multiple layers, silk paint, removed with steamer, artex also removed with steamer underneath the artex was PVA and under the PVA some kind of sand textured paint I am down to bare plaster in about 50% of the ceiling area, the first picture shows the area still to be...

Hi firstly sorry if is in the wrong place, I have steamed off the artex in my small bathroom it appears under the artex is pva really struggling to get this off, and under that appears to be a textured paint its rough like it got sand in it, and under that yellow paint, in some areas, the steam...
