  1. Might be worth scrolling through the Hettich and Hafele catalogues https://web.hettich.com/en-ro/products-eshop/handle-collection#/ https://www.hafele.co.uk/en/products/handles-knobs/10/
  2. On this map you can get a good idea of who at least fits efficient systems in your area https://heatpumpmonitor.org/map
  3. For the time being I have just run a conduit from the back of the mirror to the light switch and fan isolator in the bedroom. If it needs a switch/fuse/other the sparky can add one later
  4. Morning all I cant get hold of my electrician at present so hope you can help. We have a zone 2 bathroom mirror that needs a power supply. I realise this will come from the lighting circuit but dont know if it needs an isolation switch, fused spur or something else. The lighting is on a new RCD protected circuit and I can have connection outside of the room the other side of the stud wall. I'm keen to get the wiring in place as I want to board up the stud wall ready for the plasterer. I should add my sparky is pretty hands off and is happy for me to do all the donkey work as long as I get it right haha. Thanks
  5. Yep just a softwood with some stain on it
  6. To be honest I dont even use or have the app as I get lost with all the variables. Not having the option to do more things I dont do is not a loss haha. The boxing in can be removed relatively easily if necessary. Probably 30mins of fiddling about but in hindsight would have mounted it in a more accessable place but was rushed into making a decision when the install was happening
  7. If the glue joint is good it will be as strong as a solid piece of wood.
  8. Frustratingly the white interface is now boxed in as I was told I wouldn't need to touch it. Fingers crossed the kinked pipes are the problem as they are coming to replace them at the end of the month
  9. "Or too high a pump speed for the system " Not something I can adjust as far as I know. Its all under the control of the Vaillant Arotherm ASHP
  10. Yes they were paid to do a brand new install. Those pipes are remnants from a heating system that was put in and removed back in the 70s. I knew they had used these short sections at the time but I was not aware of the kinks in the pipes. I dont think they will make any fuss about coming back to sort this out as they seem a decent outfit.
  11. Our ASHP system has been in just under a year. When running the first couple of rads are noisy. I was resigned to this as there's no obvious fault but that changed today. Doing some work under the floors and noticed these creased pipes. They reused some ancient pipes they found which got around some awkward steps but it looks like these old pipes were badly creased whenever they were put in. These creases are just after the noisy rads. My thinking is the restrictions are forcing most of the water through the rads which are prior to the damage and the high flow rates are making the radiators noisy. Is this the likely cause or am I reading too much into this?
  12. I did get them around a year ago and at the time there was nothing like this for sensible money in the UK. I need some more so thanks for the find
  13. We have all outward opening doors and some are pretty heavy (wooden). Windage is most definitely a problem on occasion made worse as we are an exposed spot and the doors are larger than normal. After having had the door ripped out my hand on several occasions l came across these which are ideal as they absorb the shock and work as a catch as well https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B01MQH5L58?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title You can get similar in the UK but at a far higher price.
  14. What are your woodworking skills like? Clean off the paint and glue a 12mm packer all around the existing frame to bring it flush with the plasterboard.
  15. If I have understood the problem correctly a parliament hing used as intended would allow the door to clear the plasterboard but would leave the door inset into the opening. As suggested you may well be able to modify a pair to do what you describe
