If it was correctly stretched it should not form any ripples in the carpet, that is the whole point in stretching it in the first place. Poly may be a bit less forgiving compared to wool when stretched but not really an excuse.

There seems to be a natural assumption that the wires are single insulated,, however it is possible that they are double insulated. Double insulated 1.5mm wire is rare in the UK and I have to import it. The electrical connections are sealed and the transformers may be classed as class 2 due to...

you could use rachet straps or luggage straps, protect the surface of the wood first and do not over tighten, that could cause the boards to create a mini V shape. just need to be tight enough to hold together.

The A indicates it was registered in London but could have moved on to a different region, the registration number would suggest that the car was register 1903 to maybe 1906 as not many registrations where carried out compared to todays standards. Registration Went upto 9999 and then another...

Mine has been cracked for 5 years always been an advisory,, classed as slightly impaired.

To be honest this is a double headed coin scenario, one large piece over uneven joists could cause more movement from what I call the seesaw effect, where one joist is higher than others, however if it is spread over many joists and enough screws are used the anchoring will reduce said effect...

The conductors could be double sheathed as with conductors on some underfloor heating systems. the standards of class 2 are flimsy at the best of times and some manufacturers may Class II by means of separation. I have seen this claimed before by manufacturers but there has been no court case...

There are 2 electric underfloor heating systems that are referred to as the foil system The silver in colour which in essence has an wire the size of an electric blanket element, which in my opinion the 140w version would be background heat under engineered board at 21mm The other Carbon Film /...

The only thing I would add to the post for people going to do this in the future is for both surfaces I would recommend something like Prime Plus (acrylic bond) the reasons are as follows. The Flags can absorb a lot of moisture, on a warm say the flags can pull a lot of moisture out of the...

This is probably the best place for citroen advice they got a few knowledgeable Mods and lots of helpful members http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/index.php

You can lay an engineered board as a floating floor this has been the preferred method of installation for many years, you would need to make sure the floor is flat before you start using a long straight edge. When laying the floor you would glue the joints using a D3PVA glue, a standard wood...

In my job I advise people on use of products with Electric underfloor heating but I don't know if advertising of services is allowed levelflex is a fibre reinforced level can be applied from 2mm - 50mm in a single pour and sets withing 3 hours. Suitable for underfloor heating. Coverage is...

If you went down the Karndean route you would have more floor preparation to do as it is very unforgiving to uneven surfaces, usually a latex level compound would be used to make the floor flat and smooth. There is no problems tiling on a suspended floor but again floor preparation must be...

with it being a flexible tile adhesive I assume it is on a suspended floor,, The price is expensive from wicks and to be honest in this weather I would never recommend a novice use rapid set,, above 20 degrees C the adhesive can go off in as little as 10-15 minutes dependent on whether it is a...

Old Convo now I know but the easiest way to see if it is vented or unvented Turn hot tap on full,, then turn the cold tap on, if the hot water reduces in flow then it is an unvented system. You would have a football shaped expansion vessel on the system usually white in colour for the cylinder...

You could also try HSE or Trading Standards as the property is not totally fit for purpose. Maybe one phonecall can solve it, tenancy law is not my bag but I know if you ask all the various organisations they will point you to the right channels to get an enforcement notice on the landlord as...

SELV can't really be RCD protected however the transformer can but transformers can leak a lot. Any mains electrical curcuit needs to be protected by RCD unless it is under exception under BS7671:2008 but there are only a few circuits such as smoke alarms, etc. Anything that is there for...

Really I thought it had a EPDM membrain in otherwise you would be introducing air into a loop, under presure how is this air bubble controlled as the calorific value changes. Be aware I am no plumber just have an interest

Not read full post but electric does now need to be tested and the tenant in reciept of a copy of the certificate, part P not good enough needs to be fully qualified. Part P in the electrical trade is like saying I am almost good enough, however for plumbers, etc it is a means to an end as...
