    Ply lining bathroom floor after lifting floor boards

    The floor I am going to tile has pretty uneven and tatty floor boards so I plan to lift them, Do I need to replace the boards before lining the floor with ply or can I use a thicker ply and screw the ply directly on the joists? I also plan to install electric under tile heating and am...

    Berlingo Battery

    There is an extra wire on the cable that leads to the positive terminal of the battery. It leads from the fuse box on the right hand side. Is it supposed to be connected to anything? It just dangles there! Rich

    Radiator warmish at the top, cold at the bottom?

    Could be sludge build up? Try closing the valves and draining the radiator down. Use this opportunity to check the flow from the valves. Take the radiator outside and flush with a hosepipe. Might work might not - worth a go. Rich

    CH going off randomly

    Could it be that your Room Stat is set too low? For example if it is the dial type the dial may have slipped so the stat is set lower than you think. What kind is it? Or indeed do you even have one? Rich

    Is it worth over speccing a combi?

    Check your incoming flow rate from the mains first, you wont get a better flow rate than this from your boiler. Rich

    mira shower connection

    Don't see why you couldn't use a push fit straight connector in place of a compression one (I am assuming that is what you need). The hep20 ones are rated at >10 bar for cold water temperatures. I'm sure someone will comment. I would tend to go with the manufacturers instructions...

    water constantly running into the tank in the attic

    If it is happening when your heating is off you can rule out pumping over. Shouldn't take that long to refill the system, your plumber would have filled it before he left. I reckon you need your ball-cock fixed - it may just be a washer or the lever arm may need adjusting if the valve...

    Where to fit thermostat?

    Yes you can, but in my opinion if you'd like your heating system to be efficient and properly controlled it is best to locate it in the living room. The living room for most of of us it's the room with the TV, but may be a different room for others. You made that up surely? Core to me means...

    water constantly running into the tank in the attic

    Does this only happen when your heating is on May be a faulty ball-cock valve. Is there water running out of the overflow pipe from the cistern? Rich

    Where to fit thermostat?

    The room stat is best located in the living room, at a height of 1.5m and on an inside wall away from any draughts and radiators. You should remove the TRV from the living room rads because if it turns the radiator off at a lower temperature, it can mislead the thermostat into thinking that...

    Shower inlet question

    If the pipe is the correct size, which it probably is, and the pipe is fully inserted and square to the inlet then it shouldn't leak unless your mains pressure is rediculously high. I would take it back to B&Q and get another. They are usually good for refunds- I once cued behind a lad who...

    Shower inlet question

    Would have thought the connection was a plastic push fit? No need for any sealant. Make sure you have removed the inlet plug from the desired inlet. If your using chrome pipe, remove the chrome the full insertion depth of the pipe. Don't really know what you mean by "Hose supplying water"...

    Radiator problems

    Hey, Have you bled the system from the auto air vent? Also have you bled the pump? Sounds like you still have air in the system. You can't always bleed all of the air via a radiator as is it not always the highest part in the system. Rich

    No hot water, but heating is fine

    Hi there, Do you have gravity hot water and pumped central heating? You say you don't know if you have a 3-port valve - do you have any sort of valve? Also is the bathroom radiator heating up? Merry Christmas by the way :D

    No Hot Water

    Looking at the diagram, there is negative circulating head from the boiler to the hot water cylinder so I reckon it would never of worked without the pump, as Softus already mentioned. This as the name suggest requires a minimum head of 1.5m, since you lowered the F&E maybe you ran the pump...

    Another Hot Feed/Expansion tank heating up question

    Thanks JohnD for your answer, they teach me bot all at college. So basically any restriction in the pipework could be the cause. My understanding now is as follows: When the pump is operational, the water is pushed through the vent pipe because the flow is insufficient through the...
