Thanks. So according to this: http://simplifydiy.com/plumbing-and-heating/radiators/power my radiator has an output of c. 1000 BTU. And according to this https://www.bestheating.com/btu-calculator the room needs c. 2400 BTU. I suspect the reflectors won't be enough!

Fascinating. I didn't know this is a thing. Thank you!

After a winter of freezing in my bedroom, I have finally removed the grille from the top of my radiator to have a proper look. I get the impression that in order to save space, the people who fitted the radiator decided to take a standard double panel radiator and fit it without the back panel...

The vanity unit, toilet and shower have all been put on top of the boards, so I really don't want to rip them out. I've just tried to remove some of the tile adhesive with a chisel and it comes off more easily than I thought. I'm now thinking I might do that with the whole floor. Then I just...

Are you saying that what can be seen under the tile adhesive is the fibre underlay board? How would you go about prepping the floor for a new surface? Edit: I have just removed the threshold to the carpeted floor in the next room and the same boards continue seemlessly under the carpet.

Thank you! Having done some more checking, measuring and googling, I think it's this: https://www.stormguard.co.uk/stormguard-products/10450-2/ Does that look right to you? It says 'joinery seal' in the name but 'gasket' in the description. It's my own flat.

Hi, I've recently moved into a flat (the building is c. 20 years old), and I have just noticed that the seal has started to peel off the outside of the window frame as shown in the picture. I would like to replace this, but don't know what I am looking for. Do any of you know what type of seal...

thanks for the replies. I've found a guy who can cut a channel into the sill along the cracks to clean them out thoroughly, put in some mesh and fill with cement. I hope it'll work.

Hi there Although this is my first post, this forum has already helped me with a lot of my DIY projects and general questions. I hope you can help with this one too. We live in a small late-Victorian terrace. One of the upstairs window sills is cracked, causing damp inside. I have found a...
