    Worcester Bosch Greenstar 24i - Losing Pressure slowly - PRV

    Hi, I've read a few thread on similar issues and have been arranging registered local engineers to come and investigate. However, I would like to ask the collective wisdom of the forum for input! Problem is a slow pressure loss, but never down to zero. Usually sits at about 0.3 bar, if I leave...

Shower will be 1100 x 760, enclosed on 3 sides, with a sliding glass door. I like the idea of using the wall panels, but some concerns about me not being able to...

    Stainless Steel Towel Rail - Recommendation

    Hi, I'm planning to get a much bigger towel rail for our en suite, as its starting to feel cold! First winter in new house. Refit will happen early next year, but I am thinking that adding the new towel rail as part of some other (hopefully imminent) work will be best for the winter. Planning...

    Megaflo Solar - Limited Hot Water from Boiler

    Hi, I've just moved house and have a Megaflo solar 210l cylinder connected to a Wocester Bosch Greenstar 24i junior boiler. I have noticed that we sometimes run out of hot water, when there is a high demand (2 adults and 2 kids). We had a similar setup at our old house, but without the solar...

    Push Top Basin Waste Leaking - Please Help

    Hi, I fitted a new en suite in May this year and everything was great, until this week. For some unknown reason, the seal/o-ring on my push top basin waste has deformed and now I cannot close the plug. I got this from Plumb World, but it seems to be a generic part available all over the web...

    Recommended New Boiler for Boilermate 2000

    Hi, I have been having some issues with keeping my boilermate up to temperature (//www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=251705) probably not helped by very old Myson Apollo 30B and some new radiators added to the system over the last few years. British Gas are coming back tomorrow...

    Boilermate 2000 and Myson Apollo 30B - Store slow to heat

    Good Morning, I have recently noticed that my thermal store seems to be slow to heat while demanding hot water or central heating. In the past it was possible to run the heating continuously and the boiler would keep the store temperature above 60. In the last 3-4 weeks, when the heating...

    Coloured Undercoat

    Hi, I am trying to finish painting my staircases (new and old) and have decided that I would like the handrails to be coloured. I have some dark brown (Dulux Totally Cocoa) non-drip gloss and would like to use a coloured undercoat. This is not going to take too much paint and would like...

    Aluminium Primer, Knotting Solution and Water Based Primer

    Hi, I'm in the middle of painting all the stair spindles and rails in the house after having a loft conversion. I have covered the original stained wood with Dulux Trade Supergrip and a layer of Dulux Trade Aluminium wood primer as the colour was bleeding through and I do not want to take...

    Should My New Stairs Look Like This??

    Hi, I hope someone can give me some advice before I go back to complain about this. Just had a loft conversion and I'm generally pleased with the work, but some of the finishing seems rushed and lacking finesse. Anyway, I am most frustrated by the stairs and the way the banister is...

    Painting over Stained Spindles and Banister - AGAIN!

    Hi, I'm about to start preparing my stair spindles and banister to be painted in satinwood, probably white. They are currently stained, but not varnished. The last coat applied was Sadolin Extra by myself about 2 years ago. I have read at length all posts on this brilliant forum, but each...

    740mm Square Shower Tray

    Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a 740 mm square shower tray? It's time to freshen up the bathroom and I have noted my current tray to be an uncommon size. Its a recess shower, with just a door at the front. I checked to see if some of the tray was hidden by the tiles, but it seems to...

    Cure for Mud Cracked Walls

    Hi, I am about to try cover/repair some quite serious mud cracking in one of my bedrooms. This occurred after I tried to repaint the room after moving into the house. The original paint (i think) was vinyl silk, on sanding to remove the sheen, the paint seems to be be 'melting' and balling up...

    Painting Wood Veneered Door

    Hi, I am planning to paint all of the interior doors in my house, as it seems to be cheaper than getting new doors. They are wood effect (veneer) hollow doors and I would like to paint them white with a satin finish. Can anyone recommend the best combination of primer, undercoat and finish...
