Hi, would really appreciate your advice. We currently have a soil pipe running up in the corner of bathroom. There is a pipe coming out one side for the toilet waste and a pipe coming out the other side for the waste from the sink/bath. I have attached a picture. We are replacing the bath with a...

Hello. Could I get some advice from professionals on here who install patios please. My friend had a new patio installed around a year ago. There was originally a concrete area that had a small drain located on the line with the grass and there was never any problems with surface water. The...

just removed boxing from downstairs cloakroom ceiling that was covering old heating duct and found hole in ceiling. Looks like they installed the light and then moved it when the house was built. You can see that the outer sheath of the cable has been removed and, having looked under the...

Hello. I would really appreciate any ideas on how to fill the holes left in our concrete floors when the old warm air heating was removed. Below the vents is the metal ductwork running back to the old boiler. We have seven of these holes to fill so that new carpet can be laid and I am not too...

Hi, we recently used Zinser Gardz at my daughters house to seal plasterboard walls after removing the wallpaper. We painted over the Gardz and the end result was really good. I wondered if anybody knows if Zinser Gardz can be used on brick plastered walls. It says for dry lining on the tin. Or...

Thanks for coming back. I did see this fitting and pointed it out to the plumber but he said that the pipe would come in the top and this is too high. The pipe needs to come in lower?

Hello, please could I ask any plumbers out there for some advice. I want to change the toilet in our downstairs cloakroom to a new close coupled one (looking at Burlington). The problem is we have a pipe coming in to the side of the existing pan connector. This runs around the wall to the sink...

Thanks for coming back. Yes the piping was 22mm from the boiler and 15mm branches. It was only installed a few weeks ago but I do not recall them doing anything with thermometers but I may have missed it. Thanks

Hi Thanks for the replies. It is a 4 bed 70's detached house (typical box with another box on the edge for the garage!). Boiler is 35kw Combi. All brand new piping and radiators. It has EasyControl where it picks the weather via the internet; it does not have a separate outside whether sensor...

We have just had a new central heating system installed to replace the old warm air and wondered if anybody could offer some advice please. It has a Worcester Bosch 8000 Life combi boiler, Easy smart controller and 12 radiators. My question is about the temperature that the radiator water is set...

Hi. We are about to remove a warm air unit and replace it with boiler and radiators. Please see the pics. The two side walls are fine but the back wall is covered in what looks like concrete with the odd brick showing through in places and a hole that needs bricking up/covering. We need to make...

So we finally sorted out replacing warm air with combi and radiators and have a couple of quotes. We have one final thing to sort out and would appreciate your views please. We have a living room measuring approximately 19" x 12 with a large window on the long wall (9.5" wide). One company has...

Thanks for all the information. We have now had four quotes for the new heating and three of the companies have said that it is fine for them to remove the asbestos. I spoke to a specialist company who want close to £4,000 (based on the photographs). I am trying to establish if it is legal for...

Thanks for coming back I think the flu is asbestos cement and can be removed. I am worried about he panels at the edge of the flu that are screwed on to the wood

Hi, Could I ask for some advice please... We have a heating company about to replace warm air heating system with a combi boiler and radiators. They have said they they will completely remove the old flu which runs from the warm air boiler downstairs, through the floor to upstairs, up the...

Thanks for all the information. I will need to go back to the heating engineer to find out about the zones which it looks like we need from what is being said? Could I just check the question about the pipework that it would be ok with three drops from above. There would be enough heat still to...

Thanks for the information. I have just had a measure and I think we have total floor space around 126m2 (measured total size downstairs and times by 2 to cover upstairs) so this means that we should be ok with the single zone? So combi boiler with the one T6R stat would be ok? We have had 4...

Thanks for coming back. They have quoted for 11 radiators with TRV’s and a single Honeywell T6R smart thermostat. They did not mention anything about different zones upstairs and downstairs and having another thermostat upstairs. Two of our neighbours have had similar completely new systems...
