The ceiling below is lathe and plaster, yes.

Hi, I would be interested in feedback on a couple of photos and whether this is acceptable for building control and fire regulations. We have had a loft conversion in a Victorian property and under the new suspended floors there should, according to our quote, be 100mm Rockwool laid...

Hi, Apologies if i don't get the jargon right! I have 3 switches (fused spurs?) in a kitchen cupboard that are for switching off the washing machine, oven and diswasher/rangehood. I want to have a conventional power socket in the same cupboard. Is it possible to add a power socket inside...

Thanks. I'm in the upper flat and am going to get loft insulation regardless, but I was wondering of the lower flat would notice any difference (if they did maybe I'd ask for a small contribution). The 'virtually none' insulation between ground and first floors is that other than the first...

Hi, We live in a Victorian terrace (divided into upstairs/downstairs flats, purpose built) that currently has no roof/loft insulation and virtually none between the ground floor and first floor. Would adding loft insulation make a noticeable difference to the ground floor? Bascially, if the...

We have a Stuart Turner 3 bar twin pump which feeds our shower/bath combination (one thermostatic valve feeds both shower and bath) which has stopped working. Occasionally, the pump has kept running when the bath/shower tap is turned off. Switching the tap on/off again once or twice has...

Which? have given the Potterton Gold C24 HE a 'best buy' rating - how does it rate in the real world?

Thanks for the reply. I remember now that the diverter valve repair did fix something - the problem had been when DHW was turned on, the boiler ignited ok but heated the CH instead. At least that's what the engineer said and he pointed me to the hot CH pipe to prove it (are the CH pipes...

Hi, My combi boiler won't light to produce hot water unless the CH is turned on. When CH is off, turning on hot water tap does nothing at all to the boiler except make water flow. That is a more recent problem but for the 2 years I've lived in this (1 -bed) flat, there's been a general...
