    Seep from waste pipe

    I'm now looking at how the new units fit around this pipework. The copper pipework is clear of the unit legs, and sits in the service void at the back, so other than some tidying up and a slight re-jig of the upper pipework to accomodate the new tap tails etc, I'm not going to do too much...

    Not Internet Enabled Boiler Controller

    I'm currently considering whether OpenTherm would add any benefit over the boilers own self modulation, would appreciate your comments on that. Geofencing is irrelevant in our circumstances, there's practically always someone at home. I've yet to come across other facilities provided by an...

We have the Honeywell TR6 fitted to control the heating and hot water, but I've not connected it to the wireless internet. It connects to the control unit with a direct wireless...

    Preparing for kitchen units on floorboards

    I'm about to start on refurbishing a utility room. There is a huge amount of info out there on how to go about preparing the floor, but this seems to have changed over time as materials have developed. These are my current thoughts; I'd appreciate any comments to help me in the right direction...
