I work in IT and you wouldn't believe how many problems I solve just by turning up on site and staring at the computer. Perhaps this skill now extends to email :lol: Thanks for your help. It's good to have a second opinion from a flooring guru. As a joe public, we're often left in the...

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately, as the floor has already been screeded and the Karndean laid, I'm not sure what you want pics of? The biggest problem we have is that where the karndean butts up against the patio window, if you stand on it or push it down with your fingers , you can see...

Thanks for your help and advice. All the rads have TRV's fitted - on some it would be possible to replace the lockshield valve with a combined LSV and draincock but alas on others the LSV is too close to the edge of the wall and I would proably need to cut into the pipework to fit the drain...

Hi Timmyturtle. If i understand your question - you are asking have I fed the 2 moved rads from the hot water system :?: To confirm the, the programmer has 2 modes: HW only and HW & CH. Setting to either of these modes doesn't change a thing with these 2 rads. After I had put in the...

. : Bahco - this had crossed my mind but I've been in denial about this possibility :roll: Is there a rule of thumb that can be used to determine how many radiators you can feed as a spur? I guess in an ideal world every radiator would branch from a 22mm pipe central pipe and deliver the...

I have a convential boiler with 12 radiators connected. During the summer months we were decorating downstairs which involved moving the positions of 2 of the radiators. For routing pipework reasons, the existing pipe work (flow & return) were cut off and capped. To provide hot water to...
