will give that a go... but still... can i lower it?

Hi there, Been landscaping my garden recently and have lowered the ground level around an inspection cover. The cover seems to be mounted on two courses of bricks which are built upon a 6' x 6' concrete pad. This kinda indicates to me that its a large sewer, would this be the case? It's...

thanks, i know it's difficult to compare boilers without model numbers but going on brands which is going to be better vokera or baxi? There is a vokera at my parents house and they have had many problems with heat exchangers, but i don't know if this is the boiler or the old pipework they...

Hi, Just got two quotes to have central heating for a standard semi. The first was from a sole trader for £2500 who will fit Vokera boiler and the other was from a small company who will fit a Baxi 105HE boiler, which boiler is the best? Also, the more expensive quote said that they would...

their just normal taps i'm afraid, the problem is that heightwise they are at a level equivalent to half way down the how water tank... there being the problem. Looking into getting a flow switch, adding that in and a pump and then when a tap is opened then the pump will operate, hmm this...

yeah, we;; i do agree with putting the tank up in the loft and would do that myself, but i'm not completely happy with the strength of the supports in the loft so with that weight of water i would never sleep at night! I apologize if i appeared to dismiss people's advice.

can you tell me the name/make of a pump which is intended for this purpose?

so, move the cw feed tank or fit a brass pump? I'm not keen on moving the tank, is there a pump designed for this purpose?

Hi, Just doing up a house which has a gravity fed CH system. The cylinder is located on the 1st floor in a cupboard on the landing. The bathroom is on the same level which means the hot water flow rate to the bath is really bad, i can't imagine how long it would take to fill. My...

I need to replace a 6mm2 cable supplying my shower with a 10mm2 cable as i want to fit a 9.5kw unit. I can run the cable and connect it up but i want to stay legal, so is it going to be best to just get my work checked or get an electrician to do the whole job? Regards Matt Merry...

yeah, it's got to be some sort of refraction effect, would love to find out where to get some from though!

yeah might just do that, they are definitely not just coloured lamps

Hi, I've seen some spotlights that i think are really cool. They seem to project a 'rainbow' of colour from outer edge to center. These colours can range from cool blue, yellow to red. I've mainly seen them in posh clubs and also at my gym. I noticed someone on my estate has also...

thank you for all your comments, just to give a little more background... There has never been a fireplace in that room, the chimney is from the fireplace in the lounge directly below. Also, there are no alcoves to uncover as these are in the bedroom on the other side of the wall If you...

kinda got the jist of that last post... not sure about the dimetions of joist or spans, will check next time i'm there a point which i forgot to mention is that the walls in question do not support anything, i.e. the roof. The house is two story btw.

there are walls below but the walls upstairs are not built directly on top of them they are staggered, i would say that there is a gap of about 5cm between them as below.... [code:1] |==| (upstairs) |==| --------------------------------------...

Hi, I'm currently renovating a house which has some cracks in the walls. I'm no structural engineer so would like some expert opinions. The house is a semi-detached 50 year old ex-council house. Generally the build quality is poor. The dividing walls between the bedrooms are made from light...

Perhaps a better question would have been... "what boiler is best value for money?" i have a one bedroom flat and don't want to spend a fortune but yet don't want to be spending a fortune on repairs....

Any sensible advice?

Can anyone tell me if Ariston or Biasi boilers are any good?
