    Ideas for a small kitchen radiator

    Hi All, We have a very small / thin radiator located on the only small strip of bare wall in our kitchen. However, it is a bit of pain as there is a small fridge right beside it which isn't great (a radiator beside a fridge!) but more so the fridge door can bang off the thermostatic valve...

    Gas fire flue failing smoke test

    We have a 4 year old house with a gas fire in our front room. We have never used it, in fact we only ever saw it lit when we were looking at the property before buying. Recently we decided to use it so because it had been so long we got a gas man round to check it all out. Small external pipe...

    old house with damp porous bricks - solutions?

    Hi All, My parents in law have an old house near the sea in France that seems to have been built with a porous kind of rock and mortar. It apparently was a popular building material years ago. We think that the walls draw moisture up from the ground or outside and as a result one of the...

    no hot pressure from thermostatic power shower

    Thanks for the reply. Nope, no idea what that is...this shower was here when we moved in (turn key house so brand new about a year ago). We never used it until recently. Should a power shower like this be able to compensate for the really low hot water pressure? Like i said the hot water for...
