Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts they wanted to share on the idea of placing a combi boiler (gas not oil) in an single-brick thick small external shed which has a concrete roof. This shed is attached to external wall of the kitchen so pipes/cables could go directly through the shed wall...

I couldn't find any on their website.

Unfortunately not.

Would anyone happen to know where to buy black iron pipe about 3/4" - 1" or so in diameter? About 1.3 metres in length (or longer as could cut). Preferably in a more black colour as opposed to the lighter grey colour I did search on eBay, but it appears to be relatively short lengths available...

That looks to be what I'm looking for; thanks.

I'm looking for a product which essentially would be a metal plug which can be inserted into timber and has an internal thread to allow reception of a flat-end screw or bolt (i.e. not a pointed timber screw). I presume such a product exists, but if anyone happens to know what they're called so...

I haven't heard of that before.

It appears to be functioning again, not sure what was wrong. Had one rad replaced with a new one, so perhaps it needed to "bed down"... Out of curiosity, what is weather compensation?

I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25i Compact combi boiler. (It's possible it may be the compact 30i but I need to check the paperwork as they look identical). https://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/products/boilers/directory/greenstar-si-compact I don't know if it's simply the capacity of the...

Thanks. When you say "polishing disc", is this a disc with a rough finish or something more along the lines of a wool/felt finish?

If you've ever seen old iron fireplaces which have been restored with a high sheen finish as shown below, how is this achieved? I have heard that a wax metal polish is perhaps used. I presume they use a drilling machine with perhaps some form of shining disc. Would anyone happen to know the...

Thanks Charlie George. Yes, I don't believe the original has a dye in it, but I'd no idea what it was or how to replicate it. So, that's interesting. Thanks, that's very helpful.

It can be observed in the attachment the darkened colour of this 1930s brick mortar. The bottom left of the picture shows a more modern piece of cement which has been placed there at some point and is a more "standard" colour. If I wanted to make up some cement which was more in keeping with...

The issue would be that the skirting board is 15 cm tall. As far as I can ascertain, the highest a radiator foot will hold a rad off the floor is 10 cm. Consequently, if using feet, it would not be possible to use the two hook/brackets at the bottom the rad. With this being the case, it would...

Hanging a 1800 mm tall x 470 mm wide vertical column radiator on a brick wall, one option is to simply hang it using the two sets of brackets supplied by the manufacturer. The rad did not come with radiator feet, however it's easy to purchase suitable radiator feet online. If setting the rad...

Was wondering if anyone had any comments on the following? In a particularly small double bedroom, I can place an 1800 mm tall vertical 3-column rad in the corner beside the window (red option). Alternatively, I could place an 1800 mm tall vertical 2-column rad on the left when entering door...

Here's a photo on the left of what is supplied. The screw is 80 mm long inc head. There are eight of these supplied. To the right is a spare concrete screw which I had lying around. It's an example of the type I'm referring to. That particular one is 110 mm long, though it wouldn't necessarily...

A wall. Specifically, a plastered-finished brick cavity wall.
