I went to remove a radiator prior to decorating, think I understand the concept ok: 1. Shut off valves 2. Loosen nuts either end of rad, allowing water to drain into bowl However, when I went to loosen the nut on the inner side of the valve, it was SO damned tight the whole valve assembly...

We have a downstairs shower (Mira Sport) which is no longer required. I'd like to remove the entire assembly (tray, enclosure, shower unit) and I'd like to know, when the shower is off the wall (Power off at the wallboard obviously) what should I do with the feed cable? The wall will be tiled...

Righto chaps, on another thread about my CH system, the consensus of opinion seems to be to replace the wax capsule in my boiler. Looking at the boiler manual I reckon I could do this myself quite easily. (with a little guidance) Can anyone tell me a part number and potential source to get...

Just a quick one. In general, how much would I expect to pay over and above the cost of a new boiler for the installation considering it to be a direct replacement (a combi with a new combi)? Would it be as much as doubling it? No flushing will be required as I'm having that done anyway...
