  • Ideal boiler temperature

    Does the ideal boiler temperature vary significantly from model to model or even based on the type/design of the boiler in question? I assume the manual of any given boiler will provide this information anyway for any given boiler model?

    Do I legally need a handrail in my late 1800 cottage?

    We have just taken the stair rail off because it was falling off, filled in the holes and realized the stairs look great without them (it's incased in-between two walls) is there a legal requirement to have a rail?

    Thermostats not working

    Currently, we have three thermostats, all of them Heatmiser units. Unfortunately, one of them has experienced a short-circuit, disrupting the electrical flow to the others. While the main Heatmiser unit indicates power, the three affected thermostats are not illuminating, indicating a lack of electricity reaching them. Any suggestions?

    Installing clothes rack from angled ceiling

    I want to install a new clothing rack in a bedroom which will hang from the slanted roof side of the room. At the lowest point is about 1 metre from the floor and about 2 metres at the highest point, the angle is roughly 45 degrees too – so it seems an ideal size for a rack. I am planning on having joins that hold the rail every half metre or so, to distribute the weight - the length of the rail will be around 2 metres long. Are there any reinforcements for the weight or other adjustments I might need to install the clothing rail on my slanted roof?
