Hi I have fitted a chrome plated 1 Way Switch to replace a standard plastic one. I understand that the convention is for the rocker switch to be up in the OFF position. The rocker switch is not that well aligned on the plate and looks better on the wall when it is upside down. The means...

Hi I have a metal bottle trap being pulled when the WC is flushed. I am trying to fit an in line anti syphon fitting, but the wife would rather I didn't as it would be visible. If I were to entend the plastic tube which is inside the trap would this help the trap from being pulled or...

Hi Many thanks. Can the motor capacitor be replaced ? When the refurbished module was returned, I was told that a chip had been blown on the refubished module ???

Hi I switched the module for a refurbished module. However with the refurbished module the machine would not even start ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi Many thanks for your replies. The built in time switch did fail and I replaced it with a new one about 20 months ago and it seems to have been fine ??? I agree that the boiler needs a service. What does the photocell do ? Is it changed during the service ? Yes - recycling the...

Hi Many thanks for the information regarding pumping over into the F&E tank. I have a bottle of Fernox Restorer F3 to add to the system which I plan to circulate round at low temperature for a week before draining. I plan to drain the system down completely before adding the Restorer...

Hi Under normal operating conditions should the water in the F&E tank be hot or is it the over pumping which is causing the water to become hot ?

Hi Are you saying that the pin holes will appear when I try to clear the sludge from the system with the chemical cleaner ?

Hi I have had a contractor install concrete footings for decking. He used a 5:1 ballast to cement mix ( Rugby Premium Cement ). I happened to notice that the Use By date on the cement had expired 11 days before he used it ? Is this a potential problem with the strength of the concrete...

Hi I have some whitewood timber built in to the ceiling of my garage which has been there for several years. I planned to prime, undercoat and paint the timber, when I realised that I may need to seal the knots first. As the timber is so old and there is no sign of any resin do I need a...

There is a housing development being built next to me and I noticed that the slates are being fixed onto battens. I just wondered why they had not fitted sarking boards ?

Hi I note that some roofs in Scotland have the slates nailed direct to sarking boards and other have horizontal battens fitted with the slates fitted to these. Is there a correct way ? Are battens used when sterling board is used to sheet the roof ? My question relates to timber framed...

Cheers Matt Very much appreciated :D

Hi Thanks for the info. When I googled Unipipe I got Uponor coming up. The thing is, is that the Uponor UFH manifold ( TM ) looks nothing like the one in the picture so I wasn't sure what was going on ? Do Unipipe in Ireland still make their own design of manifold ?

Hi Does anyone recognise who manufactures this particular underfloor heating manifold ? Cheers
