Thanks for the reply. An example of what happens: Set thermostat on boiler to max heating kicks in great. Leave it on until radiators heat up as soon as we put the hot water on the tap and switch it off the boiler display shows temperature rising all the way to 100 then get u1 to u7. Pump at...

Hi all, posting this on behalf of my dad. He has got a Worcester Greenstar 35cdi (approx 12 years ago fitted), Recently hes been having issues when calling it for heating. It sends the signal to the boiler, the boiler fires up, you can see the temp rising goes up over 100 then shuts off again...

Hi all, i wish to try and blend my ceiling in with the coving, the ceiling has been put up ontop of the old ceiling, plaster boarded, left the coving up as its very nice. There is a step now between the plasterboard and the coving. What filler is best to go along and smooth / blend the both in...

Hi all, i want to add some insulation to my kitchen ceiling as there is very very little there at the moment. Basically we added a new ceiling years ago, not attaching to old joists but added new ones. above our current one there is tongue and groove. We had downlights and the draught that came...

Can you use homeplugs they come very handy for these situations for long awkward runs :)

I bought them valves for the 10 rads in house all work exceptionally well and for the price it's a great buy.

Lol. Try the basics /cheapest like I have mentioned before going beyond that. If you notice a reduced amount of condensation then continue with my advice as its been a godsend in our house :)

I would fit trickle vent in room that will help reduce the condensation also check up the attic where the mould on the ceiling is to see if there's any insulation. Might be a cold bridge between warm air in bedroom then the cold air in the attic. Insulate that, fit a vent, get this or something...

Yep agree with Steve :) but replacing a windows with new ones needs to comply with regs, with a fensa registered installer you will be covered by a range of things even tho it costs a bit more

Have you got trickle vents on the window (s) in there ? If so open them if but might be good idea to fit one :) we had similar issue due to the nature of the building needed ventilation. Once sorted the condensation use a stain block paint / spray then coat with normal emulsion

Use frame fixers i got a similar setup in my bathroom used 6 frame fixers 4 corners 2 in centre as its a tall cabinet. Use 120mm for length

You can also get push fit isolation valves if you not comfortable With replacing with compression type http://m.screwfix.com/p/jg-speedfit-15svp-isolating-valve-15mm/12372

Reminds me of my so called "plumber mate" waste of time

Yes :)

Re ran the route last night to avoid insulation required more cable but now :) thanks for advice all

The old radial circuit was on a 20 and ran through longer lengths of the insulation not much of the cable is in insulation only where it runs up to the socket 450mm each socket that's on top of the 50mm insulation not behind it.

Hi all have done some work upstairs in house put new wiring up there for the sockets. Used 2.5mm t&e for the ring, however some of the cables run through 100mm insulation and some through 50mm insulation acoustic type. What size mcb should I use? I have done some digging about some days 32a be...
