I have storage heaters which might be difficult to accommodate into a dynamic multi price tariff

I am on a split time economy 7 tariff, on from 22:45 to 00:45, back to full tarriff till 02:45, back to economy 02:45 to 07:45. I would lose the split tariff if I had a smart meter fitted and have to go onto 00:00 to 07:00 time for my economy 7. This is not as useful for me so have always...

Never actually seen them as I've been out at work when they've been at the property. I've got a feeling they might want to leave it as it's not that visible from outside the property at ground floor level. If they were going to clear it up would have thought they would have made an effort at the...

The managing agent of the flats where I live have got roofers in doing some minor roof repairs and then solar painting the roof(s). As you can see from the photo some of the solar paint has got onto the brickwork. Anyone know if this is easily removed and what the best product might be to remove it?

Below is the link for parts available for my model of storage heater, Dimplex xms724n, 2nd picture is the charge stat complete with room stat like the one that's currently fitted. http://www.storageheater.co.uk/dimpex/xl-xt/xms724n.html I assume it's a capillary stat because it looks very...

Thanks for replies. As the last post states looks like cutout and input stats need replacing. Think the heater might need to be striped down to replace input stat as replacement comes with room stat attached, not sure if the room stat is a capillary tube thermostat type similar to...

Thanks for reply, heater's not been covered so suspect cutout stat may be faulty. Nearby storage heaters give audible click between positions 3 and 4 on knob, this one no click from positions 1 through to 6 Definately room stat as per diagrams on link below...

The storage heater is a Dimplex xms724n and the thermal safety cutout keeps operating. The heater heats up so certainly takes some charge before the cutout operates. Looking at the link below it appears the old cutout stats which are like limpet thermostats are replaced with a repair kit...

But "It's a kind of Magic" Freddy :D

Crap gimmick eh, well Freddy, have you any experience of using products like this, and if so what were the problems? http://reviews.diy.com/2191-en_gb/10567507/reviews.htm I'm well aware there's a search button at the top of the page I am just answering the original poster. I suppose if...

Been looking into this problem myself, this product seems to get good reviews, http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Painting+Decorating/Wallpapering/Wallrock+Thermal+Liner+10m+x+75cm/d150/sd3252/p43007 although a bit pricey. Also you should also look at this...

thanks, they are going to book a job out for it tomorrow.

My flat is heated by 6 storage heaters and last night they didn't come on (they had come on the night before). The consumer unit has a row of fuses for usual, lights, ring main,etc labelled Power and Lighting, then there is 3 separate fuses below labelled Heaters, I checked these fuses and...

just a bit concerned salt will leach onto garden, killing grass, plants.

Anyone recommend best product for using on paths round block of flats. Normal road salt can leave brown slush which gets walked into hallways etc. Has anyone any experience of magic ice melt...

Well they been back and adjusted the door so it now closes properly, changed the handles to white, looks much better. The locking lever is now easy to operate. Drainage holes in track channel were covered, by corresponding holes in threshold step not being cut-out, this has now been...

Hi, A neighbour has just had her ageing aluminium patio doors replaced with upvc. (8ft 6in wide). There are a few problems with doors as listed below. 1. The door doesn't close properly. When you slide the door shut , when the leading edge reaches the frame it stops. You have to pull the...

Thanks for that, thought it would just be an easy screw back on. The landlords a bit of a lazy sod but he can get get his electrician to sort it

A friend has these switches in the stairway of the flats where he lives. When you press ground floor switch in the light comes on for prescribed time but when it switches off the centre bit of the switch shoots out onto the floor. It seems simple enough to screw the threaded end of the...

This is occuring in an internal passageway in a block of flats. The floors are solid and carpeted and this is an internal wall. I assume the dpc is stopping the white stuff rising further up the wall. Anyone any ideas what might be causing the problem and what the white stuff actually is...
