When I brought the house, a new radiator has been added in the extension, so it was drained in the last 3 yrs, as its the lowest rad on the house and has a drain on it. Whether the guy who did it added inhibitor is unknown. Inhibitor looks cheap. Can't hurt I guess. Cheers

I took the numbering style from the similar post ad I thought it was a nice format and had some good advice I'm now now confused, is the consensus drain the entire system and don't touch the locknuts? Cheers

Been given a floating sink for the bathroom. It sits in a chrome frame that attaches to the wall via 4 points. It didn't come with the fixings. What's size screws / bolts would be safe to use? It weighs 25kg and will be attached to brick wall. Thank you!

Just looking for a sanity check here please. Been given a large towel rail and want to do a direct swap with the radiator in the bathroom, which will require lifting floorboards and adjusting pipes so they come out of the floor at the right location / fit some chrome pipe covers etc. Central...

Does this look right? Looks like broken something...

I spoke with building control, and emailed a copy of the certificate of completion and photos. The chap who did the inspection for the certificate has responded that he sees no reason why I cannot remove them and I don't need approval to remove them. So sounds like it's all ok and I can get...

Can anyone provide more information or a link about needing to keep the external doors? The building control planning portal talk about removing French doors in extensions without a caveat for thermal efficiency: "Once an extension has been made weather-proof an opening is normally made through...

I don't know much about the subject so please bear with me. So an extension that is separated from the main house by external doors has different regs that one that doesn't. Do you get a different building control certificate for one without the external doors separating it from the house...

I've purchased a house that has a (4.2mx3.2m) extension at the back. Access is via upvc double French doors from the kitchen. The doors were external doors, although are now internal use. The extension seems well insulated (it's warmer than the rest of the house), and has access to the side...

Update : I ended up using this wiring configuration - I opened the boiler and the existing cable only linked to L2. I reused this cable and wired up the relay with the link between L and A, and it all works as expected. Thanks again for the info / advice.

Right - got it I think: The wiring instructions from the 7 year old post suggested adding the link between L and A (on the relay), so when the relay connects A and B, B provides this power to L2 (on the boiler) and L1 can then be ignored. Sound correct? It was niggling me I couldn't...

No, I was quoting text from the 7 year old thread written BT stamjammar? Not sure what you mean? I italicised the quoted text so you could see what I was referring to

Out of interest, why is the initial post suggesting that L1 on the boiler is ignored, linking L2 to B, and link L to A on the relay? At the boiler end connect brown to the L terminal, blue to N and third wire to L2. Remove any link between L1 and L2. At the BDR91 receiver, connect brown to L...

Hi, hoping someone can help. This is a question already answered 7 years ago here ://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/honeywell-cmt927-wireless-thermostat-ideal-icos-he24.185434/ although struggling to reconcile that with the wiring diagrams I have. As the title says, I have an ideal he24 combi...
