That's bad news. My house is also 9.5m wide (internal dimension). I knew Telebeam can't span that, but then I found Ecotrus. Was hoping they might be OK. The other option my builder recommended was room-in-the-roof trusses, where they would replace the existing trusses entirely with new ones...

Hi @alex889 . I am also starting to look into converting my loft. Did you get any joy with Ecotrus, or are you still waiting on the site visit?

Is this a DIY job? I've had conflicting advice. As it attaches to the cold side, someone said it's OK. But isn't it part of the sealed system, therefore qualifications needed? Mine also needs recharging every 6 weeks, but it is 20 years old.

I remember the first time I took a rad off the wall. It was fine all day, chilly night, and I came down to a flood in the morning.

Sounds like the move is an opportunity to leave the Hive behind and get a Drayton Wiser for your new property.

What about this clock then? Still clockwise? https://www.hawkin.com/backwards-clock

What about if you look at them in a mirror? Is it still clockwise?

I had a similar issue with the house I bought. I traced it to the wiring having been modified so that the room thermostat was permanently live. I guess that was done to support a wireless stat they had taken with them. In order to give control back to the main switch, they had wired the...

But if your assumption was wrong? It's a heat only. It's quite a large house, with 20 rads and a big cylinder. But many of the rads are tiddly little things which heat en-suites and the like. So the fitter who estimated 1.5 kW per radiator + 4 for the tank came up with 35 kW, which is way...

You see, I've already misled you and mentioned the wrong wire - sorry about that. So I'm not going to say any more for fear getting you to do something wrong. Have a look at this video, which might be relevant to your system, but you'll need to make sure this is the system you've got.

I had exactly this on my Potterton Suprima. When I traced all the wiring, I found that the permanent live had been wired via the controller heat switch, so the whole system switches off when the heating is off. Fine if you can leave the heating on and just turn down the thermostat in the...

Hi, I'm in the process of deciding between some quotes for a replacement heat only boiler. Some people have quoted for a much larger boiler whilst other have quoted for something closer to my current boiler - which is 23.4 kW. Is it better to have spare capacity because the boiler will...

I've been quoted for an Intergas Eco with 10 year warranty and only 93% efficiency. Or an Ideal Logic S30 with 98% efficiency, but only 5 year warranty. The Intergas is a combi, but I'd have it plumbed as a system. I know there's a lot of Intergas fans here. Which would you go for (IG is £140...
