Hi all, am about to slap down porecelin tiles in the extension. Current base is concrete with no insulation built into the base. My Plan is to put down 50mm thick ekoboards with adhesive, followed by 200w/m2 heating mats, and poreclin tiles to finish off. Has anyone had any issues...

Hi, Have removed a back boiler which was using a metal flue liner. Im planning to install a wood stove as a centre peice and it will be used occasionally and not very often. Can i connect the wood stove to the existing liner? it looks like 125mm flexible stainless steel.

Thanks - I think it may have been due to timber shrinkage. Hadnt thought of that. I dont think the roof has been touched since it was built in the 30's so dont see which timbers would have been replaced. At this point im thinking worst case scenario is to take off portion of roof and put...

Surveyor pointed out the slippage but said it was minor. He mentioned that it needed bracing but that the movement was historic. I think he has covered his posterior in the report.... if you know what i mean

Its a terrace not a semi so cant slide a new one in form the side.

So, Just bought a house - That was the easy bit. The surveyer pointed out that one of the purlins had slipped slightly and that it was probably historic. He recommeded some suplemental additional supporting of the purlin corners using brackts. Went up in the loft on the weekend to...

Yeap, Had a look in the manual and saw that the minimum operating DHW flow rate is 2.5 litres per minute. Done a test already and the kitcken tap (hot side only no other taps in the house open) managed to fill a 2 litre bottle in about 40 seconds. This satisfies the minimum flow rate listed...

Yes its the preheat version but i dont think it is a "gold". I will check the receipts and the benchmark book as I think it may still be under its warranty. To be honest im a bit peeved that its conking out so soon. Thanks for all the advice. How much should i be paying for labour to...

Hi, I have a Potterton 24i and lately it has developed an annoying habbit. My kitchen tap, when fully open, does not seem to kick the DHW into action. the boiler takes no action and just sits there. Every now and again it kicks in. I do not have this problem in the bathroom however have to...
