    Would someone swap a panel on interior doors?

    The door pictured has a cracked panel. I can cover one side of the crack with a nice over the door mirror but not the other side. I have a boiler cupboard door in the bathroom where one side isn't visible so if I could swap the two panels it would solve the problem. Is there someone that would...

    Radiator is using more water than before

    No idea. He undid whatever he did when he serviced the boiler?

    Radiator is using more water than before

    So, I got fed up of Eon and called the guy that originally serviced the boiler. Can't remember if I mentioned it, but my landlord insists on using this lad to service the boiler because his wife is a friend but I think he's not competent and the problem all started right after he'd serviced the...

    Radiator is using more water than before

    Fine. I posted this on another forum as well and didn't add that the 100 was just a random figure as this entire thing has become utterly tedious and I just want to sort it out. Sorry to disappoint, but there is no conspiracy here. I'd like to think I have better things to do than lie about a...

    Radiator is using more water than before

    I never said it was 100, 100 was just to give an idea of what I meant by an increase. Why do people think this is a wind up? It's only gone on so long because nobody knows the answer.

    Radiator is using more water than before

    So, if it's only the one radiator that is providing incorrect readings, that would mean the fault lies with the radiator and not the meter? Yes, m3. When I say a ''unit'' I mean the red numbers going from 000 to 999 and 999 being a single unit, as when it gets to 999, the non red numbers will...

    Radiator is using more water than before

    Maybe I'm being paranoid but over the summer I had my boiler serviced. But it was by a friend of my landlord who is very nice but I think a bit incompetent. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he'd done something to cause this.

    Radiator is using more water than before

    Gas board? And trying to re calibrate the rads myself would likely result in my burning my street down :LOL:

    Radiator is using more water than before

    Yes, but the other two radiators give consistent readings. Not 100% the same every time, but close enough. The radiator in question also has the same consistency. I've posted this on another forum too and people keep saying the same thing, about how it's impossible to determine how much is...

    Radiator is using more water than before

    And how does one re-calibrate?

    Radiator is using more water than before

    I don't understand. I run one radiator, and check the usage by how many units have been used on the gas meter. Like I say, using the radiator for 20 minutes (average time I leave it on) would use x amount of units previously. Now its saying almost double. How is that not an accurate way of...

    Radiator is using more water than before

    When I run one of my radiators the gas meter says more gas is being used than I believe is true. The other radiators are fine. Say, previously, the radiator showed up as using 100 units for 20 minutes. Now, it's saying 200. Eon say a smart meter is needed/it's a fault on their end/whatever the...

    Soundproofing this window

    I thought posting on here was a good place to start. When I say ''soundproofing'' I don't mean reducing traffic noise or such, I mean, specifically, if some idiot is stood forty yards from my house being loud and obnoxious that they'd be almost inaudible. I would get the window bricked off, but...

    Sounds eminating from walls when house is cold

    There don't appear to be any cracks on the exterior or interior walls. Someone mentioned to me how it might be something to do with the wooden window frames reacting to the changing temperatures. The most prominent noises come from right above the window. Could that be something to do with it?

    Sounds eminating from walls when house is cold

    I don't believe so. Not obvious if there are.
