Thanks for the reply. Yes I meant the length. Wickes sell steel reinforced concrete Lintels in 1200mm or 1500mm lengths so 1200mm will be long enough.

If I was going to install a 930mm wide UPVC door to my garage, what width Lintel would I need to fit?

Thanks for the reply. I have looked underneath the bath, there are no isolating valves there. In the airing cupboard that is in the bathroom (the other end from the taps) there is a red circular isolating valve to shut off the cold water coming from the tank in the loft. There is also a...

Thanks for the reply. It looks like the bath was fitted and then tiled afterwards. I am planning on taking the old tiles off the walls, turn the stop cock off in the Kitchen and try to take the old bath out. I assume I will need to drain the hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard first...

I would like to have a new bath fitted, is there any reason I can't change the existing bath for a P shaped bath like the one in my album? It will fit length and width ways but would there be a problem with the pipework? How much would be a good price for a Plumber to fit the bath...

Thank-you for answering my questions. Regarding question 2. I do not know if the heaters are controlled by a traditional clock or a radio teleswitch. I noticed the power lights on the sockets to the heaters used to go off at 7a.m now they go off at 8a.m. I am in Lincolnshire and E.on...

I am trying to get used to my NSH, 2 questions someone maybe able to answer. If the heaters heat up at night and I do not use the boost button and there is still some heat within the brick/blocks, I assume the next night it will use less electricity to keep the bricks/blocks at a certain...

I made a film showing the flow of water out of the tap, then out of the top of the tap without the hose on, then with the hose on. I tried to add it in an album but it is not working. I would like you to see the film to give me your opinion.

Thank-you, I will take a look a those 2 suggestions.

Thanks for the reply, The shower head to the ceiling in 50cm, then there is the thickness of the floor and the tank is on a wood platform so I am estimating the total distance from shower head to the bottom of the tank to be 80 to 90 cm. It has a flexible how and when turning the water on...

Thanks for the replies. It is a bungalow. I only do one wash and dry a week, the condensation is on the 3 rooms at the back every morning. From now on I will use the tumble dryer and not the clothes airer. Yes the lounge is a warmer room. The bathroom is fine, dry as a bone.

Thanks for the link, interesting read. It only effects the 3 back rooms, bedroom, kitchen and utility room, none of which are used at night. The front bedroom, lounge and bathroom hardly get any condensation on the windows. Thankfully it does not effect any walls, just the windows. Any...

I am in a bungalow and in the bathroom there is a bath with a shower attachment. The water comes out of all the taps including the bath with good pressure, in fact I felt the need to turn the stop cock down a bit. But when I push the knob down to divert the water from the bath taps to the...

I have had 3 properties before this one and never had so much condensation on the inside of my windows as I get at this property. The U.P.V.C double glazing was installed in 2011, double thickness loft insulation, solid floors with underlay, not sure if there is cavity wall insulation...

What kind of primer should I use?

Thank-you.

Hey Dave, thanks a lot for your help. I have cloned the key fob and it works perfectly, all for £5, great.

I find that when I hammer in the nails from the grip rod the screed floor chips away and the grip rod is loose. Is there another way to fix the grip rod securely?

I was planning to strip the wallpaper off of all 4 walls but the paper had stuck to the layer of paint underneath and pulled the paint off too in places. The plaster came off in a few places too. I want the walls to look smooth after painting so do I need to get the whole wall skimmed...

Thank-you for the replies.
