but it's energised the whole time it's actuated... in saying that, there could be a bit of PTC involved

Local BCO doesn't even require *normal* rest bends never mind extended. Bog-standard 90 at the base, round these parts...

...unless there's a draught or a big magnet...

doesn't the aluminium in barrier pipe make it detectable?

Howdens are offering this from selected branches now too

I had an SE design something similar for the attic in our current house. Sistered joists and rafters, plus plywood gussets at the ridge. That let me remove the central ^.

socket set plus PZ3 bit, nice long ratchet for loadsa torques?

what head is on the screws and what have you using to try and undo them?

sounds like shorted turns on the rotor. How much contact cleaner did you douse it in? you might have filled the gaps in the comm with conductive dust...

Why not actually try to remove the current step? There's no screw too big or tight to remove again...

Dunno about mainland GB but a boiler service is like £50 here inc. a new jet. If it runs, I don't see how anything more could be needed...

whatever is cheap and in stock.

the design doesn't recognise things like joist direction and obstacles to routing. I'd wonder if the two l/h bedrooms might benefit from two duct runs each based on the length of run I'm intrigued by the supply vent in the stairwell finally perhaps the vents in the kitchen/dining/living end might need to be farther over to the right? Where will the cooker be?

My take on it is that I own the site, I'm working in isolation, I'm travelling in isolation, and there is no infection risk in driving in your own car. There's much more risk through two families both out in their cookie-cutter back gardens at the same time. Infact, if I was to be stopped by an officer of the law I'd actually be put at risk speaking to him...

small cat?

So, ignoring the TV-shopping aspect... Is that what this is? https://h2o-e3.thanedirect.co.uk/

Our uPVC 2G came with locking handles on every opening, and little plastic caps to press into the keyholes of any openers that needed to be escape-capable.

We've heading for a kilometre of 32mm off the road down to the house and there's no problem whatsoever with flow.

Why can't you buy red? Purchase of fuel is an essential action... Or do petrol stations not sell it over there?

The Cuprinol stuff is very good. I did our current decking with the (now discontinued?) water-clear stuff and it worked well for maybe 3yrs. I've an unopened can in the attic to re-do it with but it's very low on the list right now...

you rotate one end relative to the other.

Careful... Imperial is still used in RoI

If you've taped a comression fitting and it's leaking now, I'd suggest that things could get worse, not better...

where's the manifold and is all in the photo one zone?

our blockwork went up first (I had someone to do it, we did the roof ourselves) but definitely don't negate the effect of the tiles loading out the structure- our clay tiles worked out at about 7 tonnes.
