Hmm. Is that easy to do? (for a DIY dullard). How did the air get in there? It was only installed 3 years ago.

I thought Id just ask a corollary question: The towel rail is only heating the bottom half of the radiator. I tried turning one of the valves (using pliers, carefully) anticlockwise a full turn, but that doesnt seem to have done anything. Should I continue turning it - another 2 turns or so...

Thanks guys. This is obviously going beyond my comfort zone. Ill get a plumber in. Is this a minor 2 hour job would you say, or much more? (ie: will they then have to balance the system etc)

There is only the lockshields either side (as in the photo). I can remove the caps and turn them off. is that what you mean by isolators?

Do I need to drain the towel rail before removing the element? I presumed the element wasnt sat in the actual water.

Hi all Ive got a duel fuel towel rail that was installed 3 years ago. Hardly used. Its just started tripping the upstairs circuit when I turn it on using the switch which is outside the bathroom. (I have a similar duel fuel towel rail in the ensuite - and thats fine.) What could be causing it...

Hi guys, I have a paved pathway to the front door, and the rear garden is all paved. In the winter sometimes it gets really deathly slippery! (Ive come a cropper a few times!). This winter Ive decided to do something about it! Can anyone recommend a anti-slip surface or something? I imagine...

Ah I see. I remove the fan from the bottom. Cool, Ill give that a go! :whistle:

Hmm, ok, Ive had a closer inspection. I fear what may initially seem like a simple job will spin-off into a much larger job! (quel surprise!) :cry: It looks like the original installers gaffer-taped one end to the exit in the roof. (unless they gaffer-taped over a jubilee clip). This in itself...

@MJN : Ive measured the length I need (annoyingly its just a bit further than 5 metres, so Ill need a 10 metre length! :mrgreen:). I was just about to buy some, but what size would I need? (102mm/127mm etc...)...

Excellent - thankyou! I will post up pics once Ive finished and you can critique accordingly! :mrgreen:

Thanks @MJN - this is very useful. From memory it is attached using a jubilee clip, Ill need to check. I know what a jubilee clip looks like, but I havent fixed one before. I will probably need about 5m length. Can I cut it to size? (Im sure 'acoustic' will be fine. Whatever I fit will be a...

Thats a good practical solution. Thanks. So just to confirm (unless its not already apparent, Im a complete DIY novice!!) this is what I need to get...

Just reigniting this post. Im finding it really hard to find someone to do this job for me. Is this a job for a plumber do you think? Or a handyman?

I had an ECR 2 or 3 years ago. Ill need to check my paperwork.

Do you think its dangerous?

Hi guys, Ive got a weird electrical issue. The grill works about 30% of the time (sometimes it heats, most of the time it doesnt). An engineer fitted a new element and thats made no difference. After a bit of fiddling, it seems that when I turn the extractor fan on, one of the under cabinet...

Hi all, The grill in my oven stopped working a few weeks ago. I tried it again yesterday and it started to heat up, but only to a luke warm level. Ive tried it again this morning and it doesnt even warm up. However, the oven heats up fine. Does this mean the element has gone? Or the...

Thanks guys. I will investigate further when I get back from holdiay. Yesterday I superglued it, and it remained attached. So perhaps thats a temporary fix for now. Cheers!

Im looking at a few stone sealers. This one is £100 for 5l https://stonedoctors.co.uk/product/stontex-indian-sandstone-sealer-5l/ compared to this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sandstone-Enhancer-Protector-solution-Azpects/dp/B01GVKZPL6/ref=asc_df_B01GVKZPL6/ which is half that! And yet they...
