    Grade 2 Listed House

    Thanks all. Interesting re the history of it, Jeds. I think you’ve summed up this particular house perfectly. The frontage is described on the listing and nothing else. It’s on a pretty average street in a pretty average Midlands town, surrounded by 60s dormer bungalows. It’s certainly not a...

    Grade 2 Listed House

    Hey! Thanks for the reply. Understand basically everything I said would need permission. Just wondering what people’s experience is dealing with the council on this sort of stuff. Is it expensive, are they overly pendantic, etc.

    Grade 2 Listed House

    Hey Folks, We're looking to move house (upsizing) and have a fairly decent budget. Our search area is pretty limited by a number of factors and the only potential properties that fit the requirements are all Grade 2 Listed. None of them are perfect and would need some work to get them to our...

    Hot water not getting hot enough

    Pretty sure that solved it. It flushes ok now and the return feels a lot hotter. Will see in a few hours if the water is hot. Thanks for the help all

    Hot water not getting hot enough

    Might have found the problem. There is a PRV with the pressure gauge on it installed on the return pipe from the tank. This was installed by the boiler installer as he didn’t realise the boiler didn’t have a pressure gauge built in and couldn’t get a gauge without a PRV attached quickly enough...

    Hot water not getting hot enough

    Just tried a mains flush on the tank. Keeping it short, fill loop is on the return. Isolated CH return pipe with isolator on the magnetic filter, isolated the pump valves to keep it out of the boiler, manually opened 2 port valve to hot water tank flow. Opened the drain off, which is directly on...

    Hot water not getting hot enough

    Hi Folks, I have a Worcester 40CDi boiler installed about 8 years ago (new when I bought the house) along with a Megaflow hot water tank - not sure of age, maybe 15 years old? Tank is one of the all in one pre-insulated, plastic coated types. I know the system pretty well as the boiler was...

    How to finish ridge of mono roof

    I considered Lead but I can’t find anyone selling wooden roll batten either which I figured would give it the support it needs. The tiles overlap at their sides (https://redland.co.uk/settings/resources/files/documents/ministonewold_product-datasheet.pdf) so the headlap is, by design, less than...

    How to finish ridge of mono roof

    You mean standard ridge tiles? Aside from the aesthetics of it, I figured I could just mortar the gap between tiles and wall or maybe use dry ridge if I was going to do something non standard. Do you see anything wrong with either of those options?

    How to finish ridge of mono roof

    Hi folks, What is the best way to finish the ridge of a mono tiled roof? Tiles are flat interlocking concrete. I see mono ridge tiles exist but I can’t for the life of me find anyone who sells them in a real shop. None of the big DIY chains or builders merchants seem to sell them. Photo...

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    Can't say I agree with you there. I spoke to Labgear support who said that the loop is only required if the switch is set to "Sat". Under the currently working configuration, if I set the switch to Sat and create the loop by connecting "TV" to "Return" on the faceplate, all TVs work as expected...

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    The issue seems to have been resolved. I reversed the wiring into the triplex part of the PSW351T. This means that it is wired contrary to the instructions that came with the plate but it does work correctly. The TV connected to "TV" gets signal. If I connect "TV" to "Return" directly and move...

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    There's no other equipment there at the moment. Simply the TV connecting into the wall plate. If the TV connects to the plate "TV", it gets no signal. If the TV connects to the plate "Return", it does.

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    It's cabled exactly as per the attached instructions. 3 bits of coax run from the distributor to the plate: Distributor "Down Link Out" connects to plate "combined" input Distributor "LNB 1 Out" connects to plate "sat" input Distributor "Up Link In" connects to plate "return" The switch on...

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    If I connect the TV to the "Return" socket on the PSW351T, it gets a good signal. I thought I must have cabled it wrong, despite having tested it many times. I tested it again and the wire that connects to the Return on the PSW351T is the wire that comes from the "Up Link In" socket on the...

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    All 3 have been checked. (a) I have checked continuity on the distributor side between centre and outer of the F type. There is none suggesting it's not shorted. I will try it with only the quadplex wired in to see if it's the sat feed or return causing it. Possible? (b) Double checked this -...

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    Understand what you're saying but Freeview already works on the other TVs. It's the TV that is connected to the PSW351T wall plate that does not receive Freeview

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    Thanks, Lucid. Are you saying that without a box with RF In and RF Out the PSW351T won't work when connected directly to the "Down Link"? I'll give it a go on a standard output socket. If I did, in the future, want to hook up a Freesat box what would be the wiring configuration for that? Would...

    Labgear "Sky+" installation

    Having recently cabled the house, I put in the necessary wiring (3 bits of coax to the living room) for a Sky+ install... in case I ever wanted it. I have a Labgear LDU608G distributor connected into a Labgear PSW351T. There's 2 LNB feeds and a UHF feed connected into the distributor...
