Thats a good suggestion. Many thanks

It's very hot up through the trv, the rad is tepid and the outlet barely warm

Thanks both for the rapid response. Much appreciated. Would you agree that the lockshield needs opening more given the water going in is hot but the other side is a lot cooler (definitely a bigger difference than the 10-12 degree C I've seen is ideal)

I've just turned the heating on today for the first time and noticed that a newly fitted rad is not heatimg up very well at all. Its the only one on the system not working well. The flow in is hot but the outflow is barely warm so I'm trying to balance the heating system to fix it. I'm...

Thanks all, Managed to get some normal brown plugs in to the side of the current holes. I'll fill and paint.

Yes on looking closer I think it's breeze block. So I've got 2 x 10mm holes. What fixing can I use to sort this without resorting to filling and redriling?

Hi I'm so bad at DIY and need to fix a curtain pole bracket. It looks as though the previous owner used some kind of hollow wall fixing which have come away pretty easily. The problem that I have is now there are two 10mm wide holes and am wondering what fixing to use to secure? The hole feel...

I'm a new and rather unwitting landlord and the only problem we've had with the tenants is that there are daft little issues that are being reported about the combi boiler and hot water. I've currently got boiler cover but am thinking about biting the bullet and buying a replacement. The...

Sorry to keep dragging this up guys but I had a boiler leak the other day and noticed that the noise was coming from the boiler I've posted a video. Would like to hear your thoughts before proceeding with any work

Thanks mate I'll do that first and come back.

Would the filling valve in the cistern create noise in the taps too?

Just moved into a new house that's about six years old having problems when opening the cold taps or flushing the toilet after a period of time. The problem only seems to happen if they've not been opened or flushed for an hour or so. If I flush in quick succession there's no problem. When...

Thanks for responses guys. Much appreciated

No current wired doorbell I'm afraid but I wondered if installing one would be straightforward?

Here's the product with a wiring diagram link https://ring.com/installation

Hi guys, I'm looking to have a smart doorbell installed. Essentially when pressed they allow you to have a video call with the person at the door from anywhere using your mobile. They can be wired to a previous doorbell or can run on batteries though it seems batteries drain rapidly. My...

Hi all, I've found a very small leak in the bleed valve in one of my radiators. I've tried nipping up the valve and whilst it's improved the problem remains. I've ordered a replacement valve already but my question is how do I prepare this for a changeover? Do I use the TRV to shut off...

Fair enough Joe. I'm not sure what I would search for?? Halogen kit??
