Yes I tested voltage to the pump using multimeter. Once a zone requests heat, the actuator is activated and 230v is made available from the wiring centre to the pump

Hi, I have Grundfos UPS2 25-40/60 130 circulating pump installed about 5years ago attached near the manifold for the underfloor heating system which is currently not working. There is no green light showing on the pump, though there is electric power to the pump. Do I need a new pump or is it...

There is a small hole! now to fill it....

Ok managed to remove the toilet. It looks like the water is coming from in between the cut, not from inside/behind (first pic) I cant see an obvious crack or hole but it seems to be seeping through the materials where the plumber looks like he had to make an opening to fit. How the water is...

sure its the last image - and its where the toilet overhangs the flooring. I cannot tell if its leaking the same on the right hand side just yet as there is some boxing that is difficult to remove

Hi, I had suspected there was leak around my basement toilet for some time, and the black dots of mould appearing on the tiles in the bathroom further aroused my suspicions. Yesterday I took apart the boxing around the back of the toilet and noticed damp screed. Anyway the short story is...

Yes the lightwell will have to be stepped if the pipe cannot be diverted internally. Perhaps i am just unfortunate as i do see many large lightwells and guess the storm pipe for these basement flats are in the street or that they have large front gardens and the pipe is quite away from the...

Hi Hugh, many thanks for your comments which clarifies the situation. The water company have already offered a solution: 3 manholes and the pipe coming back into the lightwell for the final turn so that there is no need to encroach on the neighbours land. I do actually live on a hill (not...

Hi, i am currently having a my basement converted and we have just discovered a stormwater 6" clay pipe at the front, 1.5m from the property around 1.6m deep. This is right in the middle where the proposed lightwell is to be situated. Thames Water have asked for the pipe to be diverted...

Thanks big-all for your reply. 34 inches sounds about right. It is a rear accessway shared by the tenants of several houses so not sure if deeds exist. the current width varies along the path between 33 to 36 inches, approx the width you specified so will stick to this. Will need access...

Hi does anyone know of the minimum width for a rear passageway at the back of the property, for access etc. I am in the process of erecting a line of fencing and need to make sure of required width between fencing for neighbours access to their garden. thanks

Genius! Thanks guys. Old uns solution worked a treat. seeing how troublesome gates can be(ie leaning), and JohnD suggestions re gate posts, presumably too late to try to link two posts with concrete, so might try wooden brace above gate. cheers

Hi Thermo, i have searched through but not found this. Thinking this through would it better to attach to tree with longish type of screw? Thanks

thanks. i'll check out subject to find out how to attach. i have been using 75mm nails but not sure if these will be best way to secure.

Hi, i decided to put post a little away from large tree as suggested( this was much easier hole to dig!) . i have now about 1ft gap between post and tree to fill. i would like to fill the gap with 6ft closeboard as best as possible. i was planning on cutting back morticed post from 8ft...

the gate was left outdoors for past 6 months on sloped path. i am not sure how i should have stored it but am beginning to accept that, in all probability, it did not come in this condition based on Thermo's comments, and will put this down to experience. Even so, i cant quite understand...

Hi the gate is not yet fitted and the prop at the bottom is temporary. yes the top is ok problem bottom right corner in the picture. Thanks for your solution, but at this stage, i would like to establish firslty if the gate has warped or is due to bad construction ( i paid quite a lot for...
