I'd appreciate some advice on the following setup. I currently have an EPH Ember "smart" system consisting of 2 heating zones (combi boiler so no water) and two wireless thermostats. I'd like to replace it with the Drayton Wiser Kit 3. The EPH wiring looks like this: which looks like this...

We have a lean-to which contains a bathroom (I think it was previously an external bathroom but that the lean-to was built around it). We also keep our washing machine in there. I was installing a new washing machine drain when I noticed that the waste pipe drops drops down to the drain under...

We have a downstairs bathroom that has seen better days, built in an extension which, our surveyor said, isn't great quality and should eventually be pulled down. We do plan to do this, but it will probably be 5 or so years before we're able to afford to replace it with something better. So, in...

I've been removing some nails from the bathroom wall and it's made a bit of a mess of the finish. It's damaged the skim plaster and - in a lot of cases - the blockwork underneath. I was just wondering how best to fill those holes: should I use rapid set cement to fill the blockwork and then a...

Hi guys Hope you all had a great x-mas and new year :D I've got a space under my stairs that is currently being used as an office/junk store: I'd really like to make this into some kind of storage cupboard - perhaps with the left half being shelved (for stationary, my wifes craft...

Hi guys, Can anyone recommend a good thermostatic power shower? We've got a gravity-fed system and its shocking, would like something with a little more ooomph! It should be reasonably simple to install as we've got the hot and cold already running to the shower unit so will only need to...

Hi guys, Firstly, just wanted to say 'hello' and say how glad I am that I've discovered this forum in my hour of need! I've been replacing a ceiling rose with a halogen strip. The wiring is a standard loop system, I believe, so I followed these instructions, terminating the three red wires...
