Job now done. The guttering, soffits etc. look really good - quite pleased with the result, only slight downside was that the guys took 5 days to complete. They didnt use any lifting platforms/scaffolding - just ladders. Hopefully will stand the test of time (or a scottish winter) but have a...

Yes that would be useful but bear in mind I live in DUMBARTON (not in dunbarton as in my profile) which would be a round trip of about 1000 miles :o I think I'm gonna go with this quote (do I hear hoots of derision), he's the only one who supplied me with a proper written estimate and...

Thanks I'll bear that in mind.

All the dearer quotes (ranging from £500-£1000) were going to use scaffolding. This has put me in a dilemma - do I go for the cheaper quote and risk not having the job done properly or pay upwards of £1000 more to have the job done...

I have a gravity fed hot water system with hot water tank and a cold water tank in the loft which feeds the hot water tank and upstairs cold taps. I have to change the monoblock mixer tap in the kitchen as it's leaking badly - the problem is the gate valve which shuts off the cold water supply...

Cheers for the reply. Yes the arrow on the pump is pointing up the way to the boiler. Yes it is tight fitting where you suggested (anywhere else I could put it?) but according to magnabooster instructions I only need to cut-out 68mm pipe - it will just possibly fit on (118mm between end of...

I have a glow-worm space saver boiler and I can't work out which is the return pipe from the pumped heating system and more importantly I need to know the flow direction as my magnabooster aint' gonna work if fitted wrong way round. There are 4 pipes comming out of the boiler - 2 on lhs and 2...
