    Attic condensation after insulation install

    It will be making the whole problem much worse, and increasing the moisture levels throughout the house generally - find another way, and get rid of it.

    I have edited my original post in this thread, to help the hard of thinking, sad individual Nosenowt, who professes to live in a skip yard - understand that I obviously didn't imply that the collection was actually free, rather it was included as an already paid for, part of my council tax.

    Plumber explains what radiator numbers really mean and why you should 'leave it' at 3

    Which completely defies logic - why/how could it possibly? The normal TRV, is there to limit temperature, the room thermostat is there to switch off the boiler, when heat from it is no longer required. How can the stat work effectively, when the TRV is already limiting the temperature rise? In...

    My hand is in my pocket already, Nosenowt, and quite deep, paying for the service. I pay council tax, in full, for the service. Now crawl back under the rock, you climbed out from under - you nasty piece of work!

    Door hinge screws not secure, quick fix?

    They are not retrospective, or we, as you suggest, would be updating installations every time there was a change in regulations.

    A message from NW, a few minutes ago, saying they are looking into my complaint. Good, I hit the spot - it's not about the money, it's really about the my time involved and frustration, in trying to simply close the account.

    Plumber explains what radiator numbers really mean and why you should 'leave it' at 3

    Sorry Eric, but you do write some total nonsense. No system can ever be perfect, because there are too many unpredictable variations, besides which, there has to be some cost/benefit involved. I find it offensive, where you suggest I live in the past - I have a modern, up-to-date boiler...

    Quality of newly installed wooden sash widows?

    Those screws, look as if these have been put in by a machine, without bothering to drill a pilot hole.
