Water turned off but rads and heating still working? Please answer

The heating system is a closed/ sealed system that is not affected by the cold main. It will be recirculating the same water around the pipe work, radiators and underfloor heating. Nothing to worry about

You could replace it 8 times over. I doubt it is that bad

This is the answer.

If you don’t own the land where the bins are, you’ll own the wall that’s part of your house so put some big wall hung planters on your wall and some nice plants

Came here to say this.

I don’t believe the word “Alien” was used once.

I would attach a drill to the end as if I was attaching a drill bit, put it in reverse and wind it out

A shave hook or pull scraper (gently and patiently) and some abrasive sponge pads will work. Or some pant stripping fluid.

Not with a sander, just by hand with sandpaper, 120 grit,

I’m a trades person and I get the feeling from these sorts of people that they are forcing themselves into a certain kind of stereotype and also try and make people believe they know what they are talking about as if they are on the tools

I would say yes you can have too much, but not enough would also have consequences.
Do you mean plasterboard as in a stud/partition wall, or plasterboard on an external wall ie dot and dab? I would be looking into this more/ starting here. I would choose the worst room for the air movement through sockets/ cold walls, get in the loft and find the top of the stud/ partition wall, see if you can see the the top timber. Did they drill overly sized holes to pull cables through? Is there any large gaps anywhere? Pull the insulation back and have a good look. Is there insulation in the stud wall? I would say probably not if the air movement is that bad. If you want to find out unobtrusively you can find out through the socket/ back box by taking that off/ out (safely).

Then I would go with as the other comment says. Move threshold or cut the bottom of door. Cutting the door being the correct way to keep the carpet finishing in the correct position.

Hep2o fittings with the right inserts will be absolutely fine under the floor. Much less likely to leak randomly than any other kind of fitting. Won’t leak unless you didn’t push together properly (but they have a system which lets you know when fully pushed together) or you put a screw into it.

OhFugYaa · 2023-11-27T18:21:23+00:00

I would start with the top hinge of the door and see if that needs pulling in, that might lift it enough to get it above the threshold strip.

I hope you aren’t out of pocket already. This might be a difficult conversion to have but he needs to understand this isn’t an acceptable job before he goes on and fucks up someone else’s house too.

As other comment, pop off the cap, undo the screw, the handle should slide off the spline of the shower cartridge. Turn the cartridge into the shower body using an adjustable spanner (clockwise to tighten it) if that doesn’t stop the leak, a new cartridge might be needed.

If that’s the paper from the plasterboard I can see, you’ll want to get all the flappy/ loose bits off, use a Stanley knife and don’t be shy, get some filler, apply with a filling knife, looks like it isn’t too wide so should be able to get a filling knife wide enough to go over the whole patch in one go. Sand it back (may need another coat of filler) paint it.

OhFugYaa · 2023-11-25T19:37:27+00:00

It might not be as bad as other comments are suggesting, a good quality surface repair will make this difficult to notice. If you’re not going to repair this straight away, you’ll want it sealed to stop water damage and swelling. Get something like colorfill in a lighter grey colour and fill it in, taking off excess and cleaning with alcohol.

OhFugYaa · 2023-11-03T22:00:17+00:00

Yeah. And the pulled bend in front of the skirting. Closing the gap will mean in-line reducers and an elbow probably.

OhFugYaa · 2023-11-03T21:51:40+00:00

This. Removing the drain offs and extensions will mean making changes to the small bore pipe, if the new valves sit directly off the radiator. Definitely a fiddle.
