Sometimes there is a sticker on the underside of the boiler showing the pipes. When I replaced my filling loop valves I snapped a picture here where you can see a sticker on the right side. Maybe something on yours as well.

Yes I believe so... I mean this is part of a whole extension project, so the whole lot is going the be ripped out.. new foundations, new steels, new electrics, new plumbings... The boss and I can't quite agree on how much laundry space is needed :) So on the latest version we earmarked an...

Thanks for sharing this, very interesting. So if the price difference is not too massive, it there is actually a benefit to it. What is an external blending valve? Do you know? Would this not be always part of the installation?

Heh, it's +16 years old and had to be repaired already 3 times in the last two years. new PCB, new expansion vessel, new heat exchanger,sludge clearout... already dropped quite some money on it. The reason I ask is a new storage combi will require a bit more space and I am currently designing...

Hello, I am looking at a extension project, which includes a new kitchen with UFH (kitchen only) and a new boiler. We are currently running on a Vaillant Ecotec plus 831 R1 and have no space for a tank. It currently feeds two showers (seldom to be used at the same time) and central heating...

you mean when the sun is out and you get 6kw from the panels, 5kwh go to battery and 1kwh exported (/lost in your first 20 months)? Then a larger battery would not change anything. My inverter is only 3.6kw, which is annoying as in the evening I could be forced to draw from grid even though I...

I received the same email and have similar considerations as you've written above. I did however bite the bullet a few months ago and bought another battery. Nominal storage is now 9.8kwh. We are a small household and even in winter we never run out of storage, but this will change later in the...

I don't think this is correct. I've gone through this process with a solicitor a few years ago. Joint tenants is typically what married couples do, so all split equally. If you are tenants in common, you can specify ownership percentages for a purchase. So if one party significantly contributed...

Yes, but not for a long time. The timer is set to I think around 30 seconds. But my front door is close to the pavement and it goes on every time someone walks along the pavement somewhat close to my front garden wall. But it has a nighttime sensor so it's only active from dusk til dawn. My...

The PIR has N as well. my feed is just a simple 1.5mm^2 (yes the unnecessary 1.5 not 1mm) t/e from a ceiling rose. Meaning the N from source feed goes into the choc block and I would've wired the N from the Lamp straight into the same. Pretty much as per guidance from the manual.

works for me... if it helps:

Dear Sparks, I've installed this PIR above the entrance of my front door. Spurred of a nearby ceiling rose, installed without any problems. This was in Oct24. Pretty much exactly a year later, the light (LED bulb) started to flicker. But not instantly.. it would switch on and then maybe after 5...

Hello, I recently had a loft hatch installed and the installier supplied a bare 18mm plywood sheet. I've sanded primed and painted the flat sides and they look fine for its purpose, but the edges look a bit meh... It's for a loft hatch, so does not have to be perfect, but does anyone have any...

Thanks @Wayners really helpful. I used to have these sanding sponges, but they really become rubbish with some real use, i.e. anything beyond a diy art project.. What would you say for the corner/edge where paper/tape has torn? It actually has torn off on several locations further up the...

Hello Decorators, I have removed some MDF shelving in my alcove. On the left side is an unused/inactive chimney and right side is just regular wall, where you can also see some shelving on the other side still to be tacked. Anyhow, the shelves were actually a box structure and when removing...

Solaskirts are the best, but very expensive. Mesh still better than these plastic birdblocker. I had these and after 18 month it came loose at three locations. Invested in Solaskirts now and so far all good.

I think they are rolling out these changes to all electrical appliances. I think it makes sense for larger more complex appliances (white goods+TVs etc), maybe not so much for a string of christmas lights... But then common sense should apply and and you should not worry about it. For more...

Post mortem: I did end up calling Cadent for a quote to have the gas supply re-routed properly. I.e. directly from the main supply pipe under the pavement to my meter in my front garden and I am glad I did.... when they showed up to do the works one of their surveyors detected small amount of...

Just stumbled across this old efixx video on this topic. Would've never assumed that a line fault on my neighbor's incoming supply could bring diverted neutral current to my house etc. Very interesting. So from this point of view moving to non-conductive supply pipes is safer for my house to...

Thanks, but just to be perfectly clear... I also do not need to remove the existing bonding following supply pipe replacement correct? i.e. no harm leaving it in situ.
