Hi all, The double glazing in our bathroom has misted up so looking to get it replaced. Im just wondering if they will have problems getting it out due to the tiling being over the frame at the edges or is removing the middle panel and gaskets enough?

Hi all, The side of our house is one large concrete slab, the whole length of the house by about 10ft. There is an area where the concrete dips and water sits there for days after some rain. I was going to drill some drainage holes in it but cant be sure where the water pipes are. Is it...

Yeah absolutely, just had this stuff lying round and it looked the same thickness, but I guess the difference between the 2 is hardly visible to the eye. Just been and got the proper stuff

Oops, sorry dumb moment there. Diameter of the copper strands per core is 1.5mm. So if my calculations are correct, this cable is spot on? 0.75 x 0.75 x 3.142 = 1.77 per core x 2 cores = 2.5ish Or do i factor in earth too, in which case its around 5mm

Any issue using 10mm round T&E? Got plenty lying around.

Yeah the socket breaker is a B16

Morning all, I have a 6x8 shed which has already been hooked up with electrics. Currently has one double socket and a light switch by the door, but im looking to get an extra socket put in at the other end of the shed as I need to put a temporary chest freezer in. Is it possible to spur off...

Ok, so ill need to feed off existing hot tap, add a further feed from cold, put these both into a TMV and the outlet from that goes to the tap with a shut off inbetween?

Morning all, Im toying with the idea of putting a hot tap outside using the pipework under the sink. I already have a cold tap outside and will want to retain this for watering the garden. The hot water will be for filling paddling pool for the little one, washing dogs etc. so don't want...

Just been to B&Q to get a 15mm to 10mm reducer to fit the new 15mm TRV onto 10mm pipe. This is all they have I think - https://www.diy.com/departments/plumbsure-compression-reducing-set-dia-15mm/34169_BQ.prd Got home, and the pipe seems to thick to slide into it. Measure pipe, 10mm, measure...

Yeah, job for another day! Can i not just unscrew the head and leave the pin permanently up?

Its ok, panic over! Remembered my monobloc spanners so used them and then glad to see the 15mm thread waiting for me :)

Just fitting a TRV as per another thread. TRV is 15mm both ends. Feed pipe is 10mm (i know i can get a 15mm to 10mm reducer for this) But at the radiator end, not sure what I need to do? The radiator itself seems to be around 25mm? Can i remove this piece? If so, how do i do that and what...

Ok, so just draining my system to fit a standard TRV on a radiator in the hall since the thermostat got moved from in there (towel rad is now the rad which no longer has a TRV). I have a radiator at the back of the house with the drain valve and I also have one in the hall with a drain valve by...

Yeah i was wondering about alternative heating, but now just thinking of adding a second nest thermostat into the nursery and have it go by that at night time. Yeah it will still heat the rest of the house, but so will the Tado unless i buy 8 TRVs to go with it and spend a fair few hundred on...

Slept on it and thinking about it again, can any benefit be seen with just having 1 smart TRV in a room? Surely if I was to put one in the babys nursery, temp drops and it kicks the boiler in, it will act no differently to just placing the thermostat in there and all other rads will heat up too...

Im thinking if im going to do it then its going to be 'cheaper' to just swap the nest for a different setup

Makes much more sense!

Just thinking about these and wondering how they work in a single zone setup? So our heating is just one loop (i think), starts at the rad closest to boiler (rad 1) and travels throught the rest ending at rad 8 downstairs. If i was to stick a smart TRV on rad 3 for example and i wanted that...

Hi All, I've had Nest installed for a couple of years now and has always done the job for what we need, but we've since gained a new member of the family who is now 6 months old and about to move into her own nursery. Is there any workable options out there for getting the temperature in her...
