That's definitely an idea.Is that the way you think would be best?I'm also thinking of the nice newly painted woodwork possibly getting marked or dirty from lifting the old floor/under felt up.There's a lot of dust under there. What is the way way it is typically done? Has anyone done both and...

folks I would really appreciate some advice. I have recently had a new combi boiler(Vailiant ecotec pro 28). I don't currently have a shower,I have only been taking baths but because of the time it's taking to fill the bath to a decent level,I am now looking at getting a shower fitted.Been...

Hi folks, I've got a it of a dilemma! I'm having the whole house painted.I'm also having to remove the current laminate flooring and have new flooring laid throughout the house. Recently some work was done under the floors and there was a lot of dust so I'm not sure if I should have the...

Thank you for the input folks.The ceiling is high in the living room so ceiling height is not an issue. I'm thinking in having the top and middle just white the same as the ceiling and the bottom part(which is red at the moment)a nice light grey/silver) If I go down this route should I have...

I've decided to keep the dado rails.What I was asking is if from a decorators POV if it would look ok to paint the top and middle(between the top dado rail)the same colour or if they should be different colours?If so should the dado rail be white or the same colour of the paint on the wall? I...

I was asking opinions on keeping the dado rails and if I should keep the three different colour scheme or go 2(top and middle)the same and another colour at the bottom and if so should I keep the top rail white or paint the same coour the walls will be? Really just looking for some good advice...

Hi folks,I'm looking for some advice please? I am just about to have my home redecorated!The living room wall has 2 dado rails but to I think they look nice. At the moment the top is white,the middle cream and the bottom red. I am going for new colours but I'm not sure if I should have the...

Thanks.It's not got a breast as such.It was a gas fire/back boiler on the main wall.Do you think I should strip and repaper the whole wall?It's the main front wall in the living room?

Hi folks, I've just had my gas fire removed.It's been plastered up and an air vent put in.Should I just sand it down and paint directly over the plaster or would I be better off putting some lining paper over it? The rest of the wall has lining paper and I would like it to blend in as best as...

Thanks[/url] for that!

Yep!It's a brand new install. I don't know maybe I'm just not used to how it's meant to operate.Before this I had a back boiler system and turned the heating on/off as I pleased.It's just a bit annoying when the room is just heating up it goes off.At least it goes back on if I turn it off/on again.

That's what I am trying to do.Learn how to work it properly and obviously to my advantage. Of course I don't want it burning gas 24/7?I also don't like the fact that just as the room is getting warm it switches itself off? I thought the were meant to maintain a reasonable heat? Just as the...

Hi folks. I've had a new combi boiler fitted just over a fortnight ago.Never had a combi so I'm still getting used to the settings. On the bar it is fluctuating between 1,2 and 1,3 going up and down when the boiler isn't being used. Could someone tell me what this means please? Also When...

Do you think he's full of it? I'll be keeping an eye on them anyway but there hasn't been any more marks the last few times they've been on!

They guys were out today and said sometimes this can happen but usually stops and settles down after a few times using the radiators? He said it is the thin bits of metal extracting and sometimes they have been in a warehouse for a while and this can contribute although I'm not sure why? Said...

I had already wiped the marks away but I don't know that a pic could diagnose the fault any better as it really is as I've said.Very tiny bubbles and yellowy marks/dots down the inside of the radiator. I'll post pics if it happens again though.

I've done that. I'll keep an eye on it but I think there's a problem.While wiping the yellow marks away I noticed lots of tiny bubbles all the way down the edge of the radiator.It was only on this morning for about 35 minutes. What could this be?It's a brand new radiator.

Any idea what the yellow marks could be?What is in modern central heating radiators? Cheers.

Hi folks. I've just had a new condensing boiler and new radiators fitted.I've just noticed a lot of yellow marks down the side of the radiator and round about the side of the temp setting valve Pretty sure these marks weren't there the other day. Could it be leaking something?

Hi folks, I've just noticed that my boiler is switching itself off. It's not on timer mode.I turned the boiler on around 30-40 minutes ago and the radiators started heating up.Around 20 minutes later I felt cold and checked the radiators and there was no heat even though the boiler was still...
