The job has been assessed by a competant professional, who concluded that there are no issues with the planned work and that I can do it myself. The only questi...

Dormer

I'm considering increasing the size of my 1st floor bathoom with a 5' x 6' dormer out over my attached garage (obviously below the bathroom), has anyone any experience of a project of this nature, if what sort of cost would be reasonable?

Thanks for everyones advise.

The leak finally surfaced at the weekend - a fault on part of the new installation and nothing to do with the existing pipework.

Pipework replace and system holding pressure.

Additional

A friend suspects that as we can see no evidence of a leak (yet!), the system may be losing water through a number of tiny leaks rather than one large one. And he suggests the use of an internal leak sealant (e.g fernox F4) which is compatible with a pressurised system and can be dosed via the radia...

Burying C/H pipes

I'm currently running some new radiators into a concrete floor, I have chopped out for the new pipework and plan to wrap the pipes with barrier tape before re-instating the floor. What is the most appropriate material to use to back-fill the trenches?

Chimney cooker hood
