Thank you; that pretty much confirms what I thought. They are at 400mm centres, pretty much the only thing he did right. The wall underneath is solid all the way to the ground, and is used to support the floor joists on the floors below, and the ceiling rafters here, so I'd think it would...

I'm trying to sort out a loft floor that was put in by a cowboy a few years ago. He put in new joists, 95x70mm, sideways (so they are only 70mm deep), across a 3M span vaguely attached to the purlins either side. There's a supporting wall about 2/3 of the way across which they are sort of...

OK, that's put my mind at rest. I guessed that might be the answer, especially after reading other threads on here. (Don'tcha just love the "Similar topics" box at the bottom that only appears after you've posted your new thread..) It does appear though that the sticker he added is misleading...

We've just had our central heating re-done (lots of problems, but that's another story.) The electrician who wired up the boiler and did the earth bonding on all the supply pipes, added a sticker saying (roughly) "earth bonding to bathroom radiator was not done as resistance to pipes measured...

Well my wife, who is a little more, ahem, forceful, than me, took their call back... Promised to report them to everyone from warm front to our MP if they didn't either find a part or simply replace the whole thing. The net result was an engineer back on the doorstep by 2pm with the part taken...

Well an engineer just came round. It made the noise for him. He dug out a bit of the wall where the vent was put through, then took the boiler apart, and eventually decided that there is a seal either missing or broken, he's not sure which. So "for safety reasons" he's switched it all off and...

I'll do this, thank you.

Yep. We've actually had surprisingly little paperwork, however I'd suspect that our agreement would be with the Warm Front team, and Warmer Heating Ltd are acting as sub-contractors for them. I'll have to dig into this...

I've not tried it that way round, but it was doing it last night with the heating right down at min and the water at about half. When I switched it back on this morning, after putting heating at last notch before max, I got a long sustained thrumming immediately, before it settled. We didn't...

LOL also. Well, we're expecting a visit on Weds from them, so if it's still making a racket then, then they'll find out the hard way that it's best not to mess us (well, my better half..) about!

This is probably quite likely. I didn't see them doing any kind of power flushing, just a drain and refill, and I know it's not had a flush in the six years I've been here.. It's actually had a few drains though over the last couple of months as we've been having other work done that affected...

Hi all. We've just (Friday) had a boiler replaced on the warm front grant... (Old back boiler disconnected, new boiler fitted up where the hot water tank was.) It's an Ideal Isar HE35 ... reading these forums now, and seeing people's comments about this make, fills me with dread!! But, we...
