My wife says it would have been easier to have bought an igloo to get the effect we have, but i'am not sure we could have radiators in one of them but at least it would be problem solved

Well we bought this bungalow to renovate it completely, big extension remodelled the inside extensively new ceilings new floors and have painted the walls and ceilings in brilliant white emulsion the plumber we had has fitted two new radiators and as i have said before it looks like diamond...

Just as an update to this i bought the Rads from screwfix but on bringing them home noticed that although they are "white" (RAL9010) they are not actually white, against the ones i already have they are cream in colour in fact i cannot believe how many "whites" there are. I think i need RAL9016...

Ok thanks for your help i have been out and bought the Rads from screwfix

I am looking to buy 900 x 500 type21 radiators but have been told to steer clear of the ones for sale in screwfix or toolstation can anyone suggest an outlet that sells good quality Rads in these sizes Thanks

Thanks for all comments and suggestions much appreciated, couldn't flush the drains for various reasons no keys, water turned off etc ect, talking to a local I do not believe that there is any other tank installed, the old guy that lived there was like a recluse never visited by anyone bit sad...

Ok thanks for the replies we are going over tomorrow to flush water down the drains unless its raining. I have tried to upload three photos to give an idea what it's like, we also found near the top a piece of safety glass about 8 inches by 4 inches triangle shape and some twine about 4 foot...

Thanks for the replies its a bit difficult as we do not yet own the property but we will try to flush water down the drains over the weekend to see what's happening. it had crossed our minds that it might have been filled in but if that is the case we need to know where the waste is going, there...

Ok thanks for your reply john what I can't understand is why its full of soil, when i have told friends or relatives they laugh and say " that ain't soil mate" but after digging out five or six bucket loads it is definitely soil. I'am thinking that it could be dug out and the soakaway replaced...

The water company has come out and the chap was very very helpful he went through the various options to remedy the problem and after consulting with his boss I am more than happy with the outcome. Thank you for all the replies and help much appreciated merry xmas

I had thought about doing that but judging how fast the water butt fills up on my six foot greenhouse it would probably need emptying on a regular basis having said that if it was going to save me a couple of grand it would be worth reconsidering. The water company failed to show this afternoon...

Actually I don't but the other pipes go right into the ground and I am assuming that they go to soakaways whereas the one from the conservatory drains into an "open" drain which you can visibly see. Because my wife and I want to get it sorted we have phoned the water company and they are going...

Ok thanks for the quick reply. I have said on the solicitors form that we are not connected to mains surface water, so the purchasers solicitor is asking where the surface water drains to as the searches have come back saying that the surface water does not drain to a public sewer. I believed...

Sorry if I have not made myself very clear I have been told that it is not lawful to run surface water into a foul water drain. As I am selling my house I am worried that this will be a problem. I know absolutely nothing about drainage, so are you suggesting that this will not be a problem?

I have just found out that my conservatory down pipe drains into the foul water drain. The conservatory was built over ten years ago and up until now I didn't realise I had a problem. Does this mean I have to rip up my patio to install a soakaway which is going to be extremely difficult given...
