Floorboards not damp/got growth on them. Not fishy, more rotten veg. Could well be 3 yrs but cant remember. Because i dont get it all the time (sometimes there is no smell for weeks). I think writing this has focused my mind, if i recall, the waste my original bath had was a metal...

Thanks for the replies, i have been under the bath and cant see a leak. I had a bath put in (second user) and its crap, so mabye the waste is causing some prob. My small bedroom is not next to the bathroom but i suppose it could be travelling along the rafters which run in that direction. Thank...

I have lived in my house for over 20 yrs, over the past 3 or so a smell has developed. It is intermitant, no set pattern to it. It smells like cabbage and is worse on one side of my house. It seems to be worst under the bath and in my small bedroom. Help

Thanks for your help Andy. Gordon

No, but my mate is and he is coming round to sign off tomorrow. Thanks for the response, it seems to be getting better as it works. On a slightly different note, when the system was installed my plumber had to connect the hot water onto existing pipe work, this has meant when i call for...

Hi All i have just replaced my broken boiler with a working model. I have gone through the stickies and bled the pump, and rads. There seems to be a noise (sounds like air) in the boiler when it first fires, after a min or so it is fine. It is an Ideal mini C24. The system heats the rads...

Hi all is there any savings in using Timber Frame for an extension. Its a 3 bed semi, looking at a double on the side. Its got a single skin garage attatched at the moment. Thanks

WOW, thanks for the quick replies. The Garage which is in place now looks like gerry build, i have no doubt it will have to come down. I have no idea what foundation specs were used. We already had planning permission for a two storey extension (which was passed) but due to unforseen...

Hi all i am moving in with my girlfriend soon and would like some advice on the following. Cost of a single storey extension 10x3M @, with the removal of a garage which is in place now. Cost of removing and replacing the garage and then converting into a room. Cost of a loft conversion...

Check the valves, there may be an adjuster which is screwed down, i.e not letting enough flow through the rad. Hope this helps.

I agree with the above post, plastic is easy to fit and more flexible.

I,m no authority but i have an Ideal C24 mini combo boiler, have a look and see. Hope this helps.

Hi All fixed :D Got a seimens LCD programmer, had to alter 2 wires on the backplate then muck about with the times/selection ect and bingo. Thanks for your help. Gordon

No problem, the programmer operates an Ideal mini combo boiler. One day timer for heating only. I have spotted a Siemens in wickes for £28 which looks similar.I will go and have a look tommorow. Thanks for the help and i will let you know how i get on. I am sure if i have any problems i...

Thanks for that advice mate, i have looked at the wiritn and it looks like there are: common connection for N, common for L, and earth. What i dont understand is there is a red wire connected to the backplate (on its own) which appears to come from the boiler. I reckon i am going to go to a...
