It's a bad sign, i.e. who knows what other "unconventional" things you will find if you poke around...

Is the choice of 3 X 2kW heaters based on an energy-loss calculation, or based on the output of the existing heaters, or...? Will you be connecting the new heaters to new radial circuits? (I see that they sell a "multipack" of 4 of those heaters "for even greater savings"... for £231.11...

We had an early and expensive digital calliper in a lab where I worked 25 years ago, and I found it really useful; mostly for electronic component related things. A bit later I bought myself a not-quite-as-expensive one from Maplin, which lasted until a couple of years ago. When it died I bought...

Search for "screw in tap nozzle". I don't know if they all have the same thread. Most are aerators or adaptors for hose pipes; I guess you want a plain one? Hmm.

As others have said- fix that. There should be a perfect and long-lasting seal between the tap and the bath.

I have experimented with white wood panelling: That is the old pine floorboards, coated with Manns Classic Pine Stain (white) X2 and Osmo Polyx Oil Tints (satin white) X2. This is based on some advice from...

Flex outlet plate?

I bought one of the cheap Titan ones this week. It seems to work OK so far. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Check if those apply to listed buildings. (I've no idea about the rental rules, but in other contexts listed buildings get some lee way.)

You could consider anchoring it to the house or wall.

Go to a rental agency; they will have someone who does EPCs for them. Ask them for a recommendation.

I bet they aren't these "infra-red" ceiling-mounted panels though. More likely panel-shaped wall-mounted convectors, like the ones she removed. But do check. It sounds convincing, but you can't actually believe any of it...

It's odd that it doesn't have better heating. Did she buy it from the developer, or was there a previous owner? It almost feels as if a previous owner must have removed something! Do find out what the neighbours do. I honestly think they will have better ideas of what's realistic in the...

When was it converted? Surely some sort of heating was installed during the conversion - it's a buildings regs requirement, isn't it?

Very fancy, mine is an ancient B&Q job.

So what do they have?

Lovely job.

I'm not sure if I believe that there has been a change; there are now more "work from home" people who need heat during the day, and just as many retired people who are at home during the day.

I used to think that, but when a friend checked she found that the day rate from her supplier (sorry I forget which, but it was one of the major ones) was essentially the same on E7 and their regular tariff. In her case it was worth having E7 just to run the washing machine overnight. That was a...

Presumably that cable goes to the fan isolator. The other cable from the fan isolator hopefully goes either to the light or to the switch where you can see what is connected to what. Turn the power off and look inside, and post photos. The wiring in the fan isolator might give a clue, but you...
