Yep for the sake of a few quid. I might have a spare in the garage and if not Screwfix it is!

Thanks everyone for the quick response (you have caught me out as I am not at home at the moment). Just to answer some of your questions ... 1. There are 2 cable, 6 wires (3 pairs). Will one be a spur from the kitchen and the other feeding another socket in the Conservatory? 2. There is nothing...

Many posts already on Live Earth Reverse but couldn't find one for my situation. I have a double socket in our conservatory. One of the sockets works no problem but the other has been working intermittently .. maybe doesn't work one out every 20 switches on. Checked the wires all looks fine...

Hello everyone, just to let you know I went ahead with the Aurora EFD-Pro Insulation Coverable Downlights GU10's. Easy to install and fit the bill for safety. I managed to inspect the roof space and the rockwool was more than sufficent. The cables I managed to run inside the roff space from...

Something like this sounds like a solution ... "Insulation Coverable Downlight". Does anyone have any experience of these? Thanks https://www.downlightsdirect.co.uk/aurora-insulation-coverable-new.html#description

Hi EFLImpudence, if it wasn't too much of a hassle then yes but it is beginning to sound like it may not be worth it ;-)

Thanks for all the replies folks, sorry I was away yesterday and never got a chance to respond. Aptsys I have no idea if there is any membrane or vapour barrier in place as I haven't been able to access the roof space but see that you have already confirmed that the proposed lights are...

Hello, this has probably been asked/discussed already but here goes ... I have an inaccessible roof space above my kitchen where I want to fit Fire Rated LED downlights in the ceiling probably similar to this...

Please note I made a mistake in my set up, the heating is controlled by a Myson MPE222 two way valve (doh!) I haven't had a chance to check with a multimeter yet but I did take the Actuator/Head off the two way valve and the spindle is OK. When the hating remains on the "Operating" light...

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll see if I can borrow a multimeter and check if there are any online guides for what I should be checking. I also read that something may be sticking and I have moved the lever back and forth a few times and so far so good (has stopped calling for heat).

For some reason my Central Heating boiler is firing up and heating radiators when the Thermostat is not calling for heat. My set up is as follows:- Boiler: Potterton Suprima 60L Programmer: Myson MEP 2 … heating set to “On” constantly, water set to “auto” coming on in the morning and then...

Thank you everyone for the quick response. Last year I painted almost my whole house's woodwork top to bottom (3 storey house) using a water based Crown Satin as I was cheesed off glossing frequently due to yellowing problems. This is by far the worst paint I have ever used .. dull finish...

Hello, I have read that Dulux have made improvement to their Trade White Gloss paint to reduce "Yellowing". Has anyone had any experience of this?

Just an update ... restricting the flow in the hallway radiator and opening the TRVs and Lockshields in the bedrooms is definitely improving the situation but worried that opening the lockshields in the bedrooms will be having an adverse effect on the balance of all the radiators. I haven't...

Thank you D_Hailsam, I will give that a bash. Hopefully get a chance over the weekend or I may have to wait until I invest in a decent thermometer. That's the great thing about this forum. People genuinely wanting and trying to help. Thanks everyone.

I'll try opening the lockshields as little as possible to see if that helps. I am not an engineer (hence seeking advice) but thinking about it rationally, the problem seems to be that the hallway is heating up far quicker than the bedrooms and shutting down the boiler. Anyway that I can slow...

Hello ... The thermostat is on an internal wall, 1.5m off the ground and 1.3m horizontally away from the radiator

Hello and thank you D_Hailsham The house has had no modifications since built. The two bedrooms have always been in the house and yes the Potterton 60L is the original boiler. I used the Baxi Boiler Calculator and for a 3 storey house including the 2KWh for water heating suggested a...

Thank you ALCPlumbing for the quick response and advice. However, what you suggest is the same as my original set up: hallway thermostat at 21C all room TRVs fully open however the boiler shutting off once the hallway reaches 21C and the bedrooms not heating up quickly enough and remaining...
