Thanks guys, that puts my mind at rest

Hi all, I have just built a stud wall with a double socket to spur from the existing sockets in the room but I've just discovered that the 5 sockets in that room are on their own circuit and don't return back to the fuse board!! Is this something that I need to rectify (i.e return the circuit...

Hi Alesypalsy, noseall is right, you just need to build on a raft which must be a minimum of 100mm thick. I have done a couple of these in the past. You basically dig down a little way so that you can lay around 50mm of scalpings and whack them, then build a timber frame the size of the...

Hi all, I recently bought a new bungalow that i want to renovate and go into the loft space in the future. For now though i just would like to remove the chimney and chimney breast so that mine and my wife's room will be bigger. below i have posted a drawing of a birds eye view of my...

Thanks for your help mate, I'll take it apart and have a look

ben, i misread your earlier question a little! with the dhw setting on it highest the shower temp changes quite considerably from its coldest point (where the water is warm but not too hot) to it hottest point (where the water is too hot to put my hand under for more than a couple of...

i'm a builder and have done quite a few block paving drives - personally i would remove a couple bricks from around the house and dig a 200mm trench around the it, then put 50mm of gravel around to tidy it up. as for a damp proof course is it a brick house? if so then have a look at an...

hi guys, i'm looking to remove my chimney and chimney breast. ive spoken to the local planning about the chimney removal but they couldn't help me about the chimney breast as its internal question is do i need to get building regs to agree to me removing the chimney breast or can i go...

Hmmm, it was the only dial on the boiler and now you mention it, it probably is a ch thermostat. I'll put a pic up tomorrow so you can see it. Thanks

with the thermostat up to its highest and at its lowest , the temperature is the same with the stop cock to the house turned off the shower doesnt work at all

damn i hope not - is there any way i can find out whether it is the thermostatic cartridge that's causing the problem?

i played around with the shower last night and set it on it hottest setting (which was scalding!) then i turned the dial to its coldest and it did go cold for a few seconds before it got hot again... I'm thinking that this means it is something to do with the thermostat so does anyone know...

charnwood - no idea where the cold is fed from mate but i know it's there because the temp does change hotter when you move the dial Picasso - yeah i think it's plumbed in right because when i move the dial hotter, the water gets super hot, just doesnt go very cold plumbgas - here's the...

Ok mate, I'll post up a pic when I get home tonight

I'm not sure of the make and model - there are no manufacturers markings on it. It is like a stainless steel t-bar that comes out of the wall and has rotating ends. One end for turning it on and the other for the temperature control. If this is still no help then I'll take a pic when I get...

Hi guys, was wondering if anyone could help. I have recently bought a bungalow which has a relatively new shower (manual mixer) and a combi boiler installed. It's a really nice powerful shower but on it's coldest setting it's still pretty hot and as the summer comes I am gonna be wanting a cold...
