Hi yes I've adjusted the timer, looks like I have live and switched round wrong way.

i have wired up a bathroom fan for the under stairs toilet, it has a built in timer but that is not working. The fan is wired via an isolator switch and switches on with the light, but the timer is not functioning. Could it be that I have the switched live and live round the wrong way? Ta

Thanks for the help, it's what I had thought. We were hoping to fit a dimples opti smoke, but unfortunately it's to wide. They do a smaller one, buts not as nice looking. Have to look for another.

I have opened up an old fire place. The arch had collapsed slightly so I have installed a concrete lintel below and patched the mortar up etc. The builders hole is 62cm wide, this is not wide enough for the fake log burner we would like to install. Is it possible to widen the builders hole...

Hi thanks for your advice. I'll drain down the freezing was just an idea.

I'm not arguing, I was just querying if I needed to drain down gallons of water when all I want to do is whip a rad valve off and replace with an isolation valve. Some advice is really helpful, others are just rude.

Can I use pipe freeze? If I locked each rad off and drained would that work? I only need to drop the height by a couple of inches. Drawing the rads as welll seems extreme.

Thanks for the advice, would a blob of plumbers Gold on each foot do the job? The bath is acrylic and sits on travitine.

Thanks, Can I shut the upstairs rads off and then drain enough to lower the level in the pipe I need to adjust?

i am about to fit a new towel radiator. It is slightly different to the old one. And I need to move the valves and modify the pipe work. We have a combi boiler, do I need to drain the system down? The towel radiator is on second floor and boiler is downstairs or can I get away with shutting...

Thanks for advice, its secondhand so no instructions.

Ended up using the all purpose drill bits from ideal world, went through easy.

Thanks for the advice all done now

I am baout to fit a roll top bath it has claw feet and is acrylic, the floor is tumbled travertine. Should I put gripfil or plumbers gold under the feet to stop them moving? Thanks
