Please let us know once you have finished painting your radiators so we can watch the paint dry - far more entertaining than your drivel on here.

The preferred method for you dear boy is to f**k off to the B&Q forum!Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostNeed to paint the radiators in the bungalow I am getting.
What is the preferred method?
1. Strip off the old paint, and repaint with special radiator paint?
2. Gloss
3. Undercoat, then gloss?
Buy shares in Dulux - they will be booming over the next couple of months...
Oh FFS!

Obvious, innit?Originally posted by blacjac View PostMy Street isn't listed, what should I do???
a) Take a permie job as I can't cut it in the real world
b) Tell my life story to some strangers on the internet
c) Let some stranger piss on my shoes

Take your shoes off, kneel, and offer them as substitute urinals when your "superior" needs a "comfort break".
This is how you rise within the company... or at least hold on until the second round of redundancies.
Honestly, some of you contractors talk like you've never held down a permy job in yer lives

Only about £150 for each. makes a hell of a difference and a big saving in heating costs.

Wish I could, but they don't cover pitched rooves in attics, only lofts and my house has a plastered attic and no cavity stone walls. I've looked into it in the last week and run into a brick wall (pun not intended).Originally posted by Diver View PostDon't forget to have your loft and cavity walls insulated on the government grant.

Rads are dirt cheap, but to be honest, go for a Baxi Duo-Tec 33 HE Combi Boiler, A rated. and have a complete new system installed with thermostatic valves on all rads.
I had one installed here in January and it's brilliant.
