Yep that's the one. Such a waste that I have to pay for a whole pack when it's just the one needed. Was thinking I might be able to fit an insert if I can't rethread the plastic bracket itself..?

It's a heated bathroom radiator. Sorry for not clarifying

So being a little overzealous I over screwed one of the four radiator brackets while fitting it back on the wall. The radiator brackets are nothing fancy. They are made of plastic. I was curious to know whether I could re-thread it but what would I use to do this and would it work being...

Drawing here. I get the double clip idea but how would that fit to the skirting ?

Hi all, Does anyone have a relatively foolproof and ingenious way of colour matching existing kitchen worktop ? I'm doing a job where the worktop on one side of the room wants extending but the person purchased the kitchen over 10 years ago. Is there a smart way to get a match without...

Asked a friend and he said there are double clips which got me confused. How far apart would you have them ? I've got a lot of room to play with between two 600mm joists. He said they looked better when closer together and started to talk about double clips. Think he got confused..

Hi all, is there a product out there that can clip two 15mm rad tails together but be adjustable as not all rads have tails that are the same distance from the wall? Many thanks

Haha Mottie, always a double standard on allotments isn't there. Sounds like your site is even more strict than mine. If I was restricted to one tree I'd be off Hi Odds, sounds like you've got a neat setup there. I like the idea of making cider myself.. can you use any apples to make cider or...

It's a Worcester 30si. I want to be able to keep using the hot water for washing while keeping the c/h system drained down so that I can work on it. What do you think ?

Had an allotment for many years and grown a lot of fruit and veg in that time. Tried many different styles of gardening in that time, constantly experimenting and trying new things. Came to the conclusion last year that the Summer's are now so harsh it is best not to grow much in the way of...

Good spot. I did find that website and it looks great but look at the lead time.. 10 weeks .. I've bookmarked it for future though because I'd love to have a type 33 one day and the prices aren't actually that unreasonable :)

Thank you. I've gone with the clip. Can the boiler still be used for hot water if I was not to re-pressurise the C/H system for a few days? Or is that a no-no ?

I think you are right. It makes no sense to pay for a reduction in heating capacity because that is what I would be doing by purchasing smaller rad. Thanks for your views.

I need it to be either 900mm x 500mm high Or (very tight squeeze) 1000x 500mm high In either case I can't go higher because of a window and I can't seem to find a triple panel below 600mm I'm undersized by 1628w

Just want to know whether it's necessary to use hoseclips when connecting the hose to the drain valve of the central heating, or whether the hose when pushed on will create a dripless connection? Many thanks

Both good suggestions. Thanks chaps

No I don't use either of them. I was thinking of the next person that comes along that may want to make use of it. Personally, I would never take out a contract with Virgin Media but somebody else may want to. That's a great suggestion about fitting the joint outside instead after cutting it...

Hi all (pictures describe this better than I can) I would like to relocate both the incoming virgin media cable and the telephone cable a foot to the right because I want to fit a radiator here instead. The question is what is the proper way of extending both the virgin media cable and...

Fair comment Tea. Do you think the damage will be insignificant enough to make repairs using toupret powder? I would like to avoid the cost of a re-plaster at all costs. To deal with ridges of tile bonding left on the surface I intend to use a hot air gun and a scraper (following a youtube...

I want to replace a large rad in a lounge with a smaller rad in a new location which I want to be under the window. The window only allows for a smaller rad to be fitted due it is being an alcove (a flat alcove, not curved). By making this alteration I'm gaining from being able to nestle the...
