I have recently completed the fitting of a new bathroom suite and installed a Grohe Avensys Thermostatic shower valve. The valve unfortunately makes a high pitch noise on occassions, the noise is most certainly coming from the valve itself and it seems to be related to the valve stabilising...

Bit of a beginners question, can a flexible waste be connected directly to a branch or should I connect a short length of pipe between the branch and the flexible waste. I have my old toilet out which I am replacing, the only reason I ask is I wasn't sure if a problem would be caused between...

If you know what the manufacturer is you can usually find a data sheet online. Bal Adhesives for instance - www.bal-adhesives.co.uk

Thanks Gents, yes I believe the manufacturers want it warmed up. I will no doubt hose out the radiator first anyway. In essence I just wanted to check that any flux or debris that could have crept in, will not corrode the system in the 1-2 weeks that the cleaner is circulating the system...

I am replacing a radiator in the bathroom in the next few weeks with a towel radiator and the manufacturers instructions state that a full system clean is mandatory in order not to void the guarantee. I understand this will be to flush any flux or other debris introduced to the system. I...

What would you guys advise be used instead of the dreaded bathroom/kitchen paint?

I'm shortly going to be replacing the plasterboard in my bathroom (which is rotten) with Aquapanel for any areas that could get wet and plasterboard for other areas (the wet areas will also be tanked). I have been taking out a section of plasterboard to look for studs and found to me...

I've read a few threads about the WP1 Shower Tanking kit and I want to use it when I refit my bathroom next month. I intend on using Knauf Aquapanel, tank and then apply tiles. I have been reading the Bal data sheet...

Thanks Jason, this is what I was thinking, great to have somebody confirm it!

In the next few weeks I will be fitting a new mixer shower. I am going to use Aquapanel and then intend to apply a tanking kit, most probably Bal WP1. How should I approach application of the tanking with regards to the two pipes that will be coming through the Aquapanel for the mixer...

Anybody?

I have a Ferroli Modena 80E combi boiler and an old Honeywell Brown Thermostat (inside of casing says 4200-3878). The Thermostat is fine, but has paint on it and I would like to upgrade it to a digital thermostat when I decorate. I have found a wiring diagram inside the Thermostat casing...
