Hi everyone I have bought a Worcester Greenstar 30CDi Classic System Boiler, but have not yet bought the programmer. In my last house we had a Honeywell CMT927 and it worked very well indeed, and was so easy to understand. Do you know whether this unit will work with the WB 30CDi? I see it...

Hello everyone I want to convert my integrated garage (2m x 6m) in to a study and would be grateful for some advice re. the floor before I go out for quotes so I at least appear clued up! I am only worried about the floor at the moment - and will ask the builders later about walls etc. The...

Hi I am spec'ing a ducted aircon system for my house (primarily for cooling). The system will be verified / installed / commissioned by an HVAC engineer holding the correct certificates. There is an abundance of info on the Internet regarding spec'ing the cooling capacity/kw, however I need...

Hi I recently moved to a new house that requires a total refurb. The gas and electricity meters are currently located in a garage and will be relocated a short distance to an exterior wall for installation within separate suitable enclosures. Application forms have been sent to the DNOs - not...

Hi I would like to clad a wooden staircase with real oak. Ideally I would like to use a 6 or 7mm board (which I imagine at this thickness will be all wood and no ply). I don't want to use the thicker boards (i.e. 15-20mm). I was planning to fix the oak layer with proper Sika adhesive...

Hi The staircase to my work in progress loft conversion is as follows: 4 steps, then 90deg winder box comprising 3 steps, then final 5 steps. I would like to fit 2 sections of handrail rather than 1 long continuous length of handrail. Is this permitted by building regs? I have looked on...

Hi The loft conversion is nearly complete and shortly the BCO will visit and sign off the works. Once the works have been signed off and the BCO is gone I would like to clad the basic staircase from 1st floor to loft in oak boards (and also maybe the staircase from ground floor to 1st...

Evening all Advice needed please for loft conversion. It's a mid terrace and the wall/head height is restricted by the roof we share with our neighbours. Unfortunately we are looking at 1.8m which is not great :-( We are therefore looking at every opportunity to maximise this dimension as...

Hi I am planning to fit a 1700mm x 700mm wetdec/underlay and need some advice re. the tiling on top please. I am thinking about using mosaics rather than the large floor tiles (45x45cm) which are being used elsewhere in the room. This is so I don't have issues cutting the floor tiles to size...

Hello Boys and Girls I need some urgent(ish) advice regading boiler controls as my replacement boiler (Baxi Neta-Tec 33 HE combi) is being fitted next week. I have given up fitting Baxi controls due to lack of available info and speaking to them on the phone was a complete joke. So after...

Hi I would like some help please choosing between 2 boilers, Baxi Neta-Tec 28 HE and the 33 HE. Max flowrate is 13.5 LPM for the 33 and 11.5 LPM for the 28. The difference between the two models is only £70 but I will only spend it if I will actually achieve the flow at the showerhead...

Hi Does anyone know the specs for the Glow-worm Swiftflow 80 Combi? I found the installation manual via a Google search (over on ultimatehandyman website) however it doesn't have the info I want. Basically I want to know the KW heat output and LPM flow rate. I currently have this aging...

Dear Forum I have a question re. sizing of new gas pipe to feed new Baxi Neta-Tec 33 HE combi boiler. BG provided a quote this week (I nearly fell off my chair) which included an upgrade from 15mm to 22mm pipe. I am concerned whether 22mm will be large enough as the pipe run has many twists...

Hi I will shortly be purchasing a split system with 1x outside unit and 2x inside units for my house (domestic). The aircon company will do the refrigerant circuits and want the electrical circuits ready for when they arrive. I will do as much of this as possible as well as employ a...
