Thanks. It is two new radiators replacing one smaller one - 1st floor with boiler (house is on four levels - G, 1, 2, 3) So I intended to 'T' off both the existing flow and return that went to the one radiator and split to two new ones. Like the attached sketch - Is the orientation of the 'T's...

Hello, I want to fit a new radiator in my existing system. My plumber removed the old one and capped of both pipes (JG speedfit end caps on existing copper). To do this he closed something on the boiler, then released pressure at the old radiator valves, whatever he closed created the vacuum in...

Hello all, Have a dot & dab wall, which was artex on plasterboard - this has at some point been skimmed - the skim comes off fairly easily. I'm about to brick slip the wall (approx 25 kgs /sqm including adhesive and grout) Can I ? / best option - 1. Screw backer boards directly over...

Thanks - with them being like this will there be a loss in brightness of the lamps as they get to the last lamp?

Is this ok? (see PDF) Have I got it right? Can you simply daisy chain like this? Lamps are Hue GU10's, 5.5w, so (7x5.5 = 37.5w, A=0.023, nothing to worry about?) thanks

Hi, Currently have a Danfoss RX1 and TP5000Si wireless thermostat. I've seen that in some situations the common on the heatlink is bridged to the live feed to give 240v call for heat to the boiler. My current setup is shown for the RX1. Is the wiring the nest heatlink really as simple as...

I have sanded a couple of rooms with the Titan orbital (£44.99), and attached to a titan vac. Dust extraction works a treat, almost no dust. Vac is still going fine but the Velcro pad on the sander has worn and can't be replaced (see my post), however the time saved using the sander and the...

Its about 18 months, so within guarantee......but guess what - the pad isn't covered by the guarantee AND the manual says there are 'no serviceable parts', looks like I'm 'screwfixed'

Hello, I'm looking for a way to make sanding emulsion on walls easier - I hear 'yes aren't we all?' The walls have had the emulsion slapped on so thick the wall finish is terrible, and the poor plastering below the emulsion isn't that great either. I've been using a sanding pad which is...

I 'like' doing things the correct way....but if its 'safe' then I'm generally ok with an alternative. However.....if I go with a spur from the ring / or extend the ring.......can you answer the following please: As the spurred socket is in the loft space do I need to use particular type of...

thanks, like that....fused spur it is I think, covers an 'issues' if someone else went up there....

I think so, but would have to check CU when I get home!

I understand a standard socket on a lighting ring = someone might plug into it thinking it's on the socket ring.....so does labelling it negate it being an issue with the regs?

Mmmm, the RF controlled sockets are :

Hello, I have a couple of 10w LED outdoor spotlights to install and will control them from a remote through a RF socket - the socket adaptors that plug into the wall socket. Question is can I / should I break into he lighting ring in the loft and put a wall socket in? Or should I be running a...

I've been looking into initial setup for kitchen lighting with the option to expand to more zones in other rooms and have found the WiFi 104 controller - up to 12 zones.... For my initial setup of just 4 receivers and 10m of RGBW - £650 !!! So I've just been looking at Philips Bridge and Hue...
