    Frozen Cold Water Pipes / Banging

    Yes should be ok then - pretty much got all the pipework on any outer walls insulated (cold water especially). We've got the boiler in the adjoining garage on the "internal" wall next to the house. But we seem to have three 15mm pipes for water entering the house - i've only managed to insulate...

    Frozen Cold Water Pipes / Banging

    update... Ok I located some loose pipework which also crossed in several places underneath the new fitted kitchen. I seperated the plastic pipework and clipped every couple of feet and have also insulated with climaflex where possible (some of the pipework is too close to wall /adjacent...

    Worcester Greenstar 28i v 35HE

    Anyone give me some advice please. We're having a full new central heating system installed (including 7 new rads) for a three bedroom semi. Some quotes we've had differ by almost £1000 but one of the more reasonable engineers is recommending that we'd be ok with a 28i - most of the...

    Best external door security wise

    Can anyone recommend the best material for a new external front door and frame from a security perspective. Had a UPVC one kicked through last week and can't believe the ease of which the internal panel came through (there was a very thin piece of sheet metal in the panel but it was only held...
