I have a Honeywell wireless room 'stat HCW80 and an associated relay module HC60NG, I have done the teach in and the stat and module communicate OK, the green LED on the relay module goes off when the stat is turned down below ambient and on when it's raised above it, the LED on the stat goes on...

Hi I recently fitted a solid strand woven bamboo floor, very pleased with it too, however there are some stains and marks from general use and I would like some advice on the best way to clean the floor? The place where I got the floor suggests Bona floor cleaner, is this the right stuff? Ta

Hope someone can point me in the right direction: I'm preparing a floor prior to laying solid boards on a mainly marley tiled concrete floor, previous Q and A have confirmed I'm OK to just fill the 6" untiled gap between the tiles and the edges of the patio doorway. However now I've lifted...

I've just taken delivery of a strand woven bamboo floor, the planks of which are 14mm high, and mouldings to suit, allegedly! However the recess or rebate?, excuse the incorrect term, in the mouldings is only 10mm and the overall height of the mouldings is 15mm so these mouldings will never sit...

I know more questions........ Sorry Anyway here goes. 4mm expansion gap per m correct, is that at either end or total? Room is 3.22m x 5.1m so 13mm gap and 20mm gap respectively, but 10mm min at either end is what I will probably go for, would that be OK? Ta

Further to my post about B and Q bamboo flooring I've since found a company on the internet who sell solid strand woven bamboo, I'm getting some samples sent. But really would like some advice on what size plank is best, they have 2 options either 915 x 96 x 14mm or 1830 x 142 x 14mm. My room...

What's best, or easiest, for solid wood floor laid on concrete? I'm considering a solid bamboo, possibly the B and Q stuff but am also looking elsewhere, and using elastilon strong as this appears to be the original adhesive underlay, however other suggestions include gluing it to the...

I know mentioning B & Q on here isn't a good idea :wink: Anyone had any experience of this flooring? Easy to lay or should I look elsewhere? Ta

We have just had a new boiler fitted and the condensate waste is a small bore white plastic pipe which has been run outside and then along the outside wall to join up with the normal sink waste outlet, however the two pipe sizes are obviously much different. The sink waste is a larger diameter...

I need to replace the 3 way valve on my central heating system as it is leaking from the top when running on the rad circuit only. It fits using compression joints, I just want to take the old one out and fit the new one, is it likely I'll need to replace any of the pipework due to the olives...

My geriatric elite 50 boiler cuts out, or at least the timer/controller does, overnight, resulting in no hot water or heating first thing in the morning. Not good with two teenage daughters in the house, anyone would think it was my personal fault! The controller timer resets to midnight then...

OK fitted the new floor, made it nice and level, one joist at the end was a bit low. However now when trying to fit the threshold bar at the door the old floor I'm meeting with is lower at one end. The expansion gap between the two is a bit wider than I'd like also. It's carpet on the old side...

I bought some new boards but on unpacking them they are a bit bowed vertically, so they don't fit flush to the wall when I try to fit them. They are plain unfinished wood which I want to varnish so I could do with straightening them and getting a good fit to avoid any unsightly filler. Any...

Has anyone used it? I'm thinking it could be an alternative to mineral wool beneathe a floor which is over an integral garage. The only bit that concerns me is the use of the clips on the joists to fix it as they would sit slightly proud of the joist and possibly effect the fitting of the new...

I read somewhere that you don't need to use cramps if using a secret nailer as the nailer "kicks" the new board into place. Is this right? I'm about to get some kit from a hire shop to fit T & G boards this weekend so would appreciate some advice as I don't want to hire more stuff than I need as...

I know there's loads of answers on here somewhere but can't find the one I need! The room is 2.4m long, the boards are 2m long, is it OK to end up with a 0.4m long part of a board at the end? I'm sure I've heard that any board has to be long enough to span 3 joists and I'm not sure 0.4m is long...

Is it easy to do on an upstairs room? One of my upstairs rooms is above an integral garage and is much colder than the rest I thought removing the old floor (fibre board sheets I think) and laying loft insulation or similar in between the joists and then laying T & G boards in place of the old...
