    heating timer

    I have a danfoss boiler timer (the common type in England for the last 30+ years with a round dial). I don't want 4 different on/off times.... only 2. Can I change that?

    Yeah good point. It is a crap old stud wall. It sounds hollow. What insulation should be done to it?

    heating timer

    Ok, points noted about forum sections The heating thing is, I use the thermostat and turn it down when going out. That keeps the heating off. Magic really.

    heating timer

    can i remove 2 of the blue/red catches, so 2 remain instead of 4? i dont need 4 periods on the timer. if not i'll just leave it on constant. (the unit was annoying positioned right next to the boiler so u have to crane your neck to barely see the constant/water only/ timer switch lables)

    Much benefit to foil faced radiator lining?

    Up to 25% of heat can be lost to the wall, according to what I've read. I have a radiator on a stud wall (and the other side of the wall is not mine). Would a foil faced lining be worth the ugly factor?

    Is it worth getting a vent for a tumble dryer?

    Thank you. I take it you suggest a vented dryer is better. If you have experience of that, I would be happy to hear it. How will the cowl vent be fitted, since I am on an upper floor?

    Cost effective sound proofing

    I wonder if the "cardboard" wall between my flat and the hallway might even be illegal... I gather there are sound regs. Perhaps it falls short? That would be a huge result! Because then the housing association would have to do something with the huge London rent they get and actually sort the...

    Cost effective sound proofing

    I live in a flat in a very old London building owned by a housing trust. The floorboards under the carpets are creaky and the entire place has exactly zero sound proofing. It's like living in the same room as the neighbours sometimes. I know when the ones above go to the bathroom, move...
