From October 1st 2010 it is also a legal requirement to have a Carbon Monoxide Detector installed in the same room as an open fire. Be safe :D

Hi Beatts Yes there is a possibility of installing either a solid fuel stove or gas stove by running a twinwall insulated flue up the outside of your property, normally this will need to extend beyond the full height of the property. There are too many regulations to list here so a suggestion...

You could line the back of the chamber with a sheet of Skamolex - this is a Vermiculite board of varying thicknesses, that can withstand up to 1100 DegC, and can then be painted with a heat proof paint. If your chimney is sound and does not leak when correctly 'smoke tested', there is no need to...

Hi Cornish Maid I have just noticed your request. The symptons which you describe sound very much like a battery with not enough power to hold open the solenoid valve - probably a lithium battery as 45yearsagasman says about £65-70. I have the telephone number for Sirocco UK at my shop. If you...

Foxhole is correct - this is almost certainly Vermiculite or Micafill. Firstly the chairbrick needs to be reset solid and level on sand /cement bringing it up flush with the back of the cast iron surround. Next you need to get more Vermiculite and fill it up to level with the top of the...

I have a fireplace showroom in Potters Bar. Our cast insert suppliers recommend that polished inserts are only suitable for gas or electric use - all Black inserts are advised for solid fuel use. If the polished cast tarnishes or rusts, a metal cream cleaner such as Hotspot Cream cleaner will...

Hi Foxhole Thanks for the reply I cannot see any manufacturers name on it just the model name SPA332. I have found a company in China who may make them called J & J Sanitaryware and the name Alabama if that is any help. Thanks Neil

Can anyone help please. I have a Hot Tub model SPA332 and need to reprogramme the control panel because the temperature dropped below 8 degrees.Thanks

To all of you who gave me such helpful information - THANK YOU VERY MUCH I have done the job - it was as easy as you all suggested!! :oops: Neighbours happy now. Thanks Neil

Hi Breezer Thanks for your info - you seem to be very knowlegeable regarding alarms. Can you advise me as to the battery exchange please. Thanks Neil :?

Have read through the manual - nothing on battery change. Probably means that an alarm company can charge a fortune to call out and do it themselves - oh aren't i synical :lol: Thanks again Neil

Thanks mattylad - you make it sound so easy! I'll give it a go - if there's a riot in Hertfordshire you'll know that I did something wrong Cheers Neil :oops:

Hi Alarm experts We have a TS700 Intruder Alarm Control Panel and the display is 'lb' which I believe is battery low. Just removed the two screws on the front of the panel to see what and where the battery is, and set the whole alarm off - oops sorry neighbours!! Does anyone know how easy...

Hi MonkeysDIY Sound advice from Mikric - electric is cheapest and easiest to install. If you were to go gas, you need to have a flue extension to an outside wall to exhaust the gas fumes either by fan or balanced flue - this flue needs to be venting over your own land and meet CORGI...
