Stairwell smoke ventilation window
Nickfromwales replied to Nickfromwales's topic in Electrics - Other
@Dudda 1m2. Seems a lot to me but hey-ho. That the minimum / norm? Just spoke to Colt and they put me in touch with the most helpful guy I've spoken to in a while. He sent me in the Velux direction but as with @ProDave's "corner branch" I just was asking for the wrong bloody thing. @Mr Punter Thanks. I'll link the ones I've shortlisted later, complete with kit. -
Hi. Current annoyance is trying to find a supplier for a stairwell smoke ventilation window / roof vent for a pitched roof. Anyone got a lead for such a supplier ? Has to open to 120 degrees from horizontal iirc. Thanks all.

Tiling behind Wall mounted toilets
Nickfromwales replied to JanetE's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Nope. I just linked a random supplier. I mostly use Saxton ? Cheap as chips for recip and MTool blades. Your just angry cos I won't let you put an access panel in for your WC -
My favourite bit from the website :- Quote..... "This means that they can easily be combined with other heating systems already in place because of the low water flow temperature. As a result energy usage is lower and therefore the energy bill, as well." Lol. Doesn't mention excessive heat loss through un / poorly insulated slabs etc. Also, unless the pipes are grouted in with a very thin wet grout the heat transfer by surface contact area will be dire. Doesn't sound like a winner unless you know the history and make up of the floor / insulation, but the worst part is the nonsense in the sales patter. Doesn't sound like they have a clue TBH.

Spray some paint on it, ( the one I linked, don't use gloss lol ), and enjoy the rest of your life. Try and remove the 'bobbles' without doing any further damage as they may well now create hot-spots and glow if caught by the flames. If the coals are arranged properly, the flames shouldn't really get that far out tbh but they're all different. ??

Loads of revs and no hammer and it should go through. Its TCT at the end of the day. -

They'll thank you for it. -
Sorry Dai, but you need to be more specific as to what has been damaged mate . The pic is quite dark. The coals can simply be painted with spray / coal VHT touch up paint like this. Is any part actually damaged?

Bath Surround / Boxing In, and concealed pipework
Nickfromwales replied to Onoff's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Seems a shame Gerberit would go to the effort of producing a cistern suitable to be be fully enclosed and you make access to a non moving connection . Would you even be able to get a spanner and grips in there afterwards ? The bath taps are probably the most practical install I've ever seen, and a great solution, but best to keep things practical eh? The cistern just doesn't need access imo. Hepworth bent tap connector and it's a fit n forget job afaic. ? -

Nickfromwales replied to Onoff's topic in Bathrooms, Ensuites & Wetrooms
Why does it need to be accessible? Your shower valve connections won't be, the soil connections wont be, etc etc. ? -
