Evening all. Basically I'm just looking for a bit of a recommendation for a good elec UFH kit. I'm running an evohome setup for the wet side, but I'm maybe hoping I can also control the elec UFH. Can anyone shed any light on good web pages to read or anyone done it that can point me to how it's...

Evening boys, Could someone familiar with the D plan spare me 5 mins to look over a couple of pics to see if I've done it right. For obvious reasons I'd like to check it's right before it's switched on. Cheers lads Alex

Hello all, Been doing some reading and searching but couldn't quite find what I was after. Basically how would you choose to paint MDF? I'm fitting a couple of new window sills (one is 9 foot by 2 foot in a bay window) so I can paint it before or after fitting depending on what you'd suggest...

Evening all, hope this finds you all well. Hopefully simple for you guys...... I have a length of 15mm chrome plated copper pipe. 300mm long. One end will have a hep20 push fitting, the other will have a compression penny valve. Do I need to take the chrome off..... both ends, one end or not at...

Hi guys. Hopefully a few easy questions for you...... 1) can I move my stopcock from the house to the garage? The stopcock is in the corner of the utility room presently and the garage is joined to the side of this room. I can take the mdpe pipe under the floorboards and out along the garage...

Hello all. Ok, been struggling with this for a good few weeks now. I've read so much stuff about this, but there is such a lot of conflicting advice I'm hoping you guys can put this to bed for me. I've got 2 windows in my lounge (pic below) that I'm trying to decide how to alarm. The easiest...

Hello all. Hopefully a nice easy one for you..... I've got 2 windows in my lounge. One is a bay type window with the two sides opening. The other is a flat, fixed, non opening window but made up of 3 parts. The pics below aren't of my windows but are basically the same. Now, how many shock...

Good afternoon all! Ok, firstly a little apology if this is a bit of a boring one, I've done loads of searching and reading on the net, but it's never as good as asking pros/experienced users for advice. I've been doing some reading on alarms. It seems Pyronix and the Honeywell Galaxy are 2...

Evening all, Hopefully a couple of quick questions for you.... I'm thinking of putting a new radial circuit to the conservatory. SWMBO would like an electric wall type heater in there, and there is 3 double sockets, at the moment to run 2 uplighters and a tv. Will 4mm be sufficient do we...

Hello all. So I've drawn up what I think my CH layout should be. Could you have a look over it and tell me if it's sh1te or if there's something i should do differently please? It is not to scale, but close enough. The key is at the bottom, but basically the red and blue is 22mm flow and return...

.... only takes a match. Hello all. Probably a simple one for ypu lot.... Gas pipe from meter runs for about 12 feet across the garage wall to the boiler. I am going to rip the central heating out in the next week or so and obviously I'll need to take the boiler off the wall. Can I turn the...

Sounds like a B movie doesn't it. :D Hi everyone. So basically, the new central heating system will have 4 towel rads (1 bathroom, 2 shower rooms and a downstairs WC). Whilst I appreciate the consensus is to not for TRVs on towel rads, should I leave all of them without? I've got a Honeywell...

Hi everyone. As per the title? Does anyone know of am installer that's G3 certified, that ideally knows either intergas, evohome or both anywhere in Yorkshire? I had a chat with Richard at the evohome shop this morning, (what a really nice bloke!) but he didn't know of anyone that fitted the...

Hi all, I'd pretty much decided on using buteline for a complete central heating overhaul. Then last night I came across quite a few threads about it leakingbetc etc, but i couldn't really decide if it was installation error, or that the product is actually crap. Has anyone actually used the...

At the risk of opening a can of worms....... is there a favourite among you? Money wise, there's not much in it. Alex

Afternoon all. So I've been collecting a bit of a shopping list for the new central heating install over the last month, and if you'd be so good, can you see anything obvious I've missed out? Intergas eco rf24 boiler Joule twin coil 250l unvented tank (titanium immersion) 2 Honeywell 2 port...

Hello all. As per usual, there seems to be lots of conflicting advice on the net, so I need some direction from the pros! Would you suggest I run 1 or 2 rads maybe without TRVs, or would it be acceptable to run all the rads (including towel rads) with a TRV and then for an automatic bypass...

Hello everyone. Hopefully maybe an easy one for you guys.... I appreciate the brown soil pipe is for underground.... but is it likely to be ok if it is in the shade permanently? I've got to tap in to the stack that's already there which is brown and I'm wondering if I should replace the lot...

Hello all, Hopefully a simple one for you guys. Firstly, is it worth installing a circulation pump on the hot water system? The unvented tank will be in the garage (back corner of the house), and the ensuite will be pretty much the furthest opposite corner to it so I'm thinking it could take...

Evening all, I've been reading through quite a few old threads on this, but the results were about 50/50. So in the very near future I'll be removing the old unvented system and boiler and going over to a system boiler and unvented tank. New rads everywhere also. So, do I run some DS40 through...
