    PIV system location

    Thanks. Not so worried about a draughty bath - we never use the bath (and anything that gets the kids to bath quicker is good with me!), and would probably get a heated unit anyway. I suppose we could also get a good non-return valve for the extractor which - provided it would form a decent...

    PIV system location

    Yes that was my thought about the bathroom installation. I suppose I was wondering whether anyone else had installed in a bathroom to gauge whether it's a 90% loss or a 10% loss, or somewhere between the two. I don't think there's a routing in our layout that would work (at least, not without...

    PIV system location

    We have condensation issues (110 year old house, solid brick walls, modern life); they seem pretty highly recommended as an element of the solution to that and are a huge amount cheaper than the 'hack off all the plaster and lime plaster everything' shouts that usually come up. Do I infer from...

    PIV system location

    Hi there I'm planning to install a PIV system, but since we have a loft conversion, installation on a landing is not physically possible (the loft conversion is over the first floor landing, and access above the second floor landing virtually impossible (and the landing itself is less than 1m2...

    Quartz Worktops - Grosvenor Granite and others

    Hi Curium, good nudge, thanks We went with Rogerstone in the end. The quote from Grosvenor was just too suspiciously cheap (and they didn't respond to one of my emails and never followed up). Worktops were fitted a couple of weeks ago and I think they did a good job of it, we're happy with it...

    Quartz Worktops - Grosvenor Granite and others

    Hi everyone We're in the midst of an extension / kitchen remodel and need to make a decision on worktop. We're having a 3500 run of cupboards and a 2400x1200 island. Just two cutouts for sink (inset so no drainage grooves or anything like that) and hob. We've chosen the quartz we want...

    Bubbling paint on recently-skimmed wall

    Thanks Sparkwright They're solid brick walls so no cavity. And can't check pointing due to external render.

    Bubbling paint on recently-skimmed wall

    Hi there, another 'what's up with my paint' thread and I really hope someone out there can help. I have an upstairs room which we had skimmed a couple of years ago. Since then, we've had bubbling paint on two of the walls - mostly beneath a window (and above and behind the radiator) but also a...

    Installing Nest 3rd Gen Thermostat -Worcester Bosch Greenstar 32 CDi

    Sorry for a late thread hijack but I have a question about this - I have pretty much this exact set up and I've followed these instructions and they're working perfectly. HOWEVER I can't find any setting in the Nest to control the hot water pre-heat function - so while it is wired for it, the...
