    Domestic radiator standards? Like for like replacement?

    Thanks both. So it sounds like it's likely to be a case of some bracket adjustment but good chance I can make existing plumbing work by using the same tails. I can live with that. Begs the question why there isn't a standard for this? Seems crazy to me. Why have a system of radiator "types"...

    Contract matt emulsion problem - vein like effect when dry

    Thanks @Wayners for the advice received. I sanded the problem walls flat to get rid of the ripples (made a big mess but hey it's done now). Followed by a couple of coats of the Good Home paint linked above. It's the first time I've painted walls white. Didn't occur to me that the contract...

    Contract matt emulsion problem - vein like effect when dry

    I've just been looking at these walls and wondering..... There is a mixture of plastered brick walls and plastered dry lined walls. There are no issues at all with the dry lined walls and every solid brick wall has the poor finish. Can't be a coincidence surely?

    Dishwasher poor wash performance

    Thanks for that..... I've already pulled the door open to check this, and to be honest, wasn't able to verify that the spray rotors are spinning as there was too much water going everywhere. Suppose that without this knowledge it's a case of trying the cleaner in it then ditching it if that...

    Dishwasher poor wash performance

    Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes tab drawer is working properly. Never heard of dishwasher cleaner, suppose it is available amongst the wash tablets at the supermarket? Also suppose that it should be used when the dishwasher contains no dishes?
