Any of you lot got a gel fire and know where I can get some more fuel for it at a decent price. Thanks in advance.

More F**king Inconvenience But to be fair I did buy a kitchen of them and it was fine apart from the free laminate flooring I got which was damaged but was quickly sorted out when I went to the shop to tell them.

The guy has done a fine job otherwise ,it's just the one rad in the livingroom that doesn't fully heat up.And unfortunetly I paid him on the day he finished.He did a 10 hour shift to get the job done in 1 day.

Just had my rads replaced and one of them isnt fully heating up ie the top is hot but the bottom isn't.I've bled the rad so there's not an air lock.Any ideas

nope ,just bog standard single rads.

Stupid question I know ,but what colour is it?.The old system was jet black in the header tank and when the guy fitted the new rads he said he had put some new stuff in.I just woundered because the header tank now looks like its just plain water in it.

I recently got all my radiators replace and was just wondering can I take them to a scrap yard and get a bit of cash for them ,or is it not worth the hassle.

I would just lay batons ontop of the tiles and then put your flooring on that.Its what i ended up doing as there was no sign of damp.

thats exactly what i want ,but cant find it anywhere on the internet.Like i said in a previous the guy at the wood yard sold me 20mm battons ,which is making it a nightmare to find anything to fit it.

I've looked everywere to try and find some bog standard polystyrene boards but cant find any ,just foil coated ones.Anyone got any ideas were I can find any. :?:

Another question ,I bought 20mm X 400mm batons for the floor on the advise of the guy at the shop I got the flooring from.I'm now trying to find 20mm polystyrene sheets to put inbetween ,but cant find any so far ,would I get away with 25mm or am I asking for trouble?

I decided to go for 1' x 2' batton ,screw to the concrete floor and then secret nail the oak into it.The one question I have is ,I'm getting a fireplace aswell.Do I have to leave an expansion gap around the hearth or would it be better to get the hearth layed on top of the flooring?

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some at a decent price for use as insulation between joist on a solid wood floor.They need to be about 25mm thick ,doesn't matter about size as they'll get cut to size. I live near Edinburgh if anyone knows anywhere local.

Quote I recently fitted my 18mm solid oak flooring just before xmas directly onto a concrete floor. Our house is a mid 70's semi and the flooring was tiles. We pulled the tiles up and was left with a bitumin type substance covering the concrete...we was told that this was the DPM and...

I'm hoping to get solid oak flooring in my house (approx 30 sq/m) and reading up on it ,it appears I'm going to either have to glue it directly glue it to the concrete with a vapour barrier underneath or put down a 3/4inch plywood sub-floor and secret nail it to the plywood.I personally prefer...

Theres a new rad upstairs in the bathroom that you can feel the heat from about 3ft away ,but if you stand right next to any other rad in the house you feel no heat at all.The bathroom rad is a double and all the other ones are old rubbish single rads.

Being the council it'll take weeks.Unless I owe them money :roll:

I think I'll goto the council and see what they say.They might have a guy thats seen my type of house before and can tell me straight away.Does it take long to get planning permission as its only really needed for the porch which will only be about 3 or 4 sq metres anyway.

They don't do what they are designed to do ie radiate heat.They're roasting hot to touch ,but they just don't sent out the heat.Crappy single rads from 1980.They're getting replaced asap.

OK then whats the best place to find one.The Institution of Structural Engineers seems to be for more larger jobs.
