Hi, I was wondering if someone can advise or point me in the right direction regarding an issue I am having. I have Worcester 440cdi boiler which was installed about 7 years ago. The house was fully renovated with new plumbing. Initially everything was fine but after about 2-3 years the...

Thank you both for your input. I had a feeling we needed two radiators but these vertical designers are so pricey so I was thinking maybe I could get away with just one but obviously for comfort better to have two.

Hi All, Can someone please offer some advice. I have room size of 21ft (L) x 14ft (W) by 9ft (H). I also have 10ft bi fold doors. The online calculators have given me a BTU's of between 10500 - 12500. Now the question is would one radiator at one end of the room be sufficient. The vertical...

Does anyone know if the frame rating affects anything other than heat loss, such as noise? Also how much of an energy loss is it between C, B and A ratings, if its about few pounds a year then I am not too bothered but if its more I can at least try to get A or B rated frames. Thanks for...

Thanks for the reply. I got a paper with the drawing of the Windows and it just mentions in the notes, C rated frame A rated glass but I will clarify with them. How much of a difference is between A, B and C because the price they gave me is good but is it worth me paying extra for Argon...

Hi, Can I please check with you knowledgeable people about double glazing. I have a local company that quoted me C rated Deceuninck profile and A rated glass. Now the question is does this equate to a B rated window? and can they make the the frame more energy efficient, so that I have...

Thanks for the reply. I think the issue is that the are differences in the slabs and some edges are higher than others so when you step on the edge the slab rocks slightly. Majority are fine just some that are not flat from underneath and stepping on the edge moves the slab. Where I have...

I would like to re-skim but I need to take this stuff off...so do you think its artex?

if you want to paint over this and its a large area, you will need to get it skimmed to get the smooth finish for painting. Alternatively you can try to get a thick lining paper and see if it hides the small bumps.

anyone?

I have this in my hallway which is a thin yellow layer ontop and a powder/paste on the back. I have had issue where the powder has been bubbling up and coming through in places. There was some water creeping in at the top of the landing but nothing where I have taken the photo. I wanted to...

I have been arguing with my LPA on a similar issue. I even have a written agreement from the neighbours that they have no problems with the extension projecting beyond the 45 degrees from their kitchen window but the LPA are not agreeing to the second floor. The neighbours also want to do an...
