Ok, closed all of the rads except two not working, one worked and the other didn't, I suspect the one not working has a frozen TRV. I will have to replace that in a few weeks when the x400 I put in does its thing as I thought it might had been a blockage. Rads now back on. Thanks for the help.

I didnt realise you needed this for unvented. I loved in to a place with unvented i think knstalled by the previous owner who was a gas engineer. Could this cause aggro long term if going through a sale?

Ok so those being tightened has sorted that bit. I will be avoiding this one lol In the morning i will shut all possible off to work out if its balancing another issue going around is some of these wheel head valves are stuck as well.

Here you go not sure i see any nut or is that the brass section at the bottom.

I can't balance them because when im closing the lock shield valves on most of them they start leaking. 1. Pipes before the rads stone cold are not warm 2. One of the rads was on a few weeks ago before putting some x400 in, that has stopped 3. Another rad was partially working but now after a...

I want to reroute sink basin mains and my stud, before it was boxed in outside the wall cosuming a lot of space and not ashetically great. Trouble is ive got a plug socket from the next room near this basin. Is this not going to be compliant?

Sorry, only experienced noisy fans over the years. Can of worms on this, I'm wondering whether it might be better to just move the light switch and isolator to a switch outside the room near the door and then do an inline fan. The original build of the property only ever had a bath not a...

I'm trying to get rid of it not add another one :)

I mean the Isolator cord has gone, it was obviously pulled off. Come to think of this, in the other bathrooms I've got the fan coming on when I don't have the isolator on. The Fan's don't have an overrun they are from 1998 lol. I'd probably want the fans being controlled in some way when they...

Im refitting my bathroom at the moment and getting electrics sorted before the ceilings done. Current fan and isolator are as pictured. Plan for wiring is as follows; When I moved in the Isolator lead was gone so can't test it, does this mean it's connected to switch live currently? Can...

Did similar in my kitchen with an arch separating. The plasterboard between rooms most likely be level so bear that in mind as I didn't!

Here you go...

This has worked but it's been rather tedious but satisfying, I did this much in about an hour or so. First issue was I'd not got the washer on provided in the herzo kit so it wasn't getting enough depth but that bit now works. Plus side of this is I'm not full of dust. The SDS Scraper on...

When can you start :D What do you do if the chipboards under existing stud wall? I'll see what state it's in tomorrow, pretty sure AG and segmented blade will sort this mess out.

I've ordered an AG vacuum guard and disc to do the AG option if the SDS scraper dosn't work. On the flooring im umming and aring about it, the chipboard runs under adjoining two stud walls, the leak we had wasn't buckets of water for long, so not sure how much constitutes replacing flooring...

I have seen the AG as a Sander option, just means spending another 40 quid to work out if it'll work. I might buy a cheap vacumm attachment and disc and see how that goes. Won't it bite into the chipboard?

I've lifted a load of tiles put in by previous tenants in my bathroom thats got about 4sqm coverage. They've put the adhesive on top of chipboard and I'm trying to remove the adhesive. Is this some sort of levelling screed put down? It's turning rubbery when I've clear a bit with a multi...

I'm doing my bathroom at the moment and I love the look of a floating hidden bog but can't see how maintenance of them will be of ease over its life span. I'm not even sure a hidden cistern with a boarded setup is any better? My water is very hard and I could see it easily becoming a mess in...

I'm sorry to see this level of issue @bigi I've seen some horror stories with dry verge jobs. I've just caped my fascia and really think I should had done eaves protection but after 25 years without it the existing fascia was only aged due to UV/weather exposure, the felt was "ok"

This has been the Bain for me when doing facias, the pins I've used at the smaller ones and strong when fully knocked in but minimal mistimed hammering and I was knackered. I found the only way was to plier and pull and try to gradually get lucky, not easy with force needed if on a ladder. I...
