    Update: I replaced the flexi pipes and ISO valves at the weekend with copper pipe work and the towel radiator now gets roasting hot. The wife is happy - no more cold bathroom. Thanks for the replies!

    Yes there is a slight kink on closer inspection. I'll see if I can fix that.

    Bathroom Towel Radiator only gets luke warm but inlet pipe is VERY hot?

    I've got a problem towel rail in the house and I've been scratching my head what the problem might be. The towel rail only gets luke warm at best and there are no colder or warmer patches on the rail itself. All of the other radiators in the house are roasting. I've checked for an air lock by...

    Hole in Shed Roof Felt (picture included) - Help needed!

    Hi, I have a hole in my shed roof. It's about 15cm long right on the ridge where the birds land. I need some advice on the best way to fix this. Do I patch just this area or should I cap the entire length of the ridge with new felt? The length of the ridge is 12ft. Also, do I need...

    Is my adhesive going to be OK?

    Thanks for your re-assurance. I laid a few more boards later in the day having mixed the adhesive correctly. Trowelling it onto the floor in lovely beaded lines made me realise how stupid I was for mixing it wrong earlier. You live and learn..... Cheers Ade

    Can someone explain what the difference is between decorators caulk and flexible gap filler? For jobs like gap filling in skirting boards I've always used flexible gap filler. If there is a difference, when should I be using caulk over flexible gap filler? Any replies much appreciated...

    Is my adhesive going to be OK?

    Started laying my insualtion boards today with flexible adhesive, but didn't realise the mixture was way too sloppy until half the job was completed.However, the boards have set well with no 'bounce' underneath them. Also, the sloppy adhesive has dried hard so I'm assuming that's a good sign...
