Cheers guys i'll have a look in the directions suggested and yes, as the immersion and tank indicates, it is a heat only boiler, sorry, perhaps i could have been more specific. thanks for taking the time to reply

Hi Cheers for the reply!, perhaps i should explain! I know Potterton made lots of boilers! but i am doing this via telephone conversations with her indoors who is 200 miles away in the house that has the problem and she said she can see nothing to indicate what boiler it is other than a...

Hi Any advice for a potterton boiler that cuts out after about ten minutes, waits for a couple of minutes then re-fires and the cycle goes on and on. Rads and water warming nicely but cooling off between firings This system has been stood still for the best part of a year. Beyond that, a...

The cost will depend on the m2, the finish required and things like access etc. Provided your garage dimensions are within the realms of nomality and you don't go getting quotes from nationwide companies, you shouldn't be horrifed at the cost.

I'd use it for the whole project if i were you. You should be able to pick it up for about 1.5 x the price of untreated. Using pressure treated timber should also eliminate the need for the annual coat of preservative and give a lifespan of about fifteen years.

Use pressure treated timber, it's more expensive but it's the way to go. It may be worth talking a wander around some garden centres with a tape measure to get an idea of design etc. I've found one or two of these places that are willing to supply the timber they use to make their sheds at a...

Spindles are usually found in two sizes, 1100mm for any horizontal handrail and 900mm for the handrail that runs up the stair. If the 900 mm are too long and reducing them is not an option (bearing in mind that there are building regulations governing the height of balustrades) you could cut...
