Thanks for the quick reply and info. I'll have to go shopping for some liquid gasket and try again.

I have a pool pump and filter that was installed I'm told about 3 years ago. First time I've had a pool pump, so I no next to nothing about them. It was dripping from day 1! Gradually getting worse, then spraying more and more. I tried adding some clear silicon to the joint once apart and left...

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't sound good news then. I found a long list of possible issues under that error code online, sort of take your pick. I've checked most of the electrical connections I could remove, some I couldn't, no space to get your hand inside this thing. It all looks mostly...

Update. My boiler isn't firing up now. Error code F28 flashing. When I turn the boiler on I can hear the pump running, the exhaust is running, but the water temp on the display doesn't increase. No hot water at the taps, no heating. After a few minutes I can hear what sounds like the boiler...

I’ve have this boiler which was in place when I purchased my property and have some issues with it. I think this is the model, it's on the rear of the control panel, but no model number anywhere else on the boiler as far as I can see! I can’t find an exact manual match. It stopped working...

Sika. The bar code is: sika 84288680024200 is the waterproofer that wasn't used. The exterior waterproofer that may have been used: EQ. HIDRO-RES 86 Thanks, I hope so, I've been waiting a long time to finally get this repair done, long story. If it leaks I might do just that, but not my blood...

Well if your roof is leaking you have to do something and I don't know where the water is entering. If I didn't use waterproofer and it still leaks I wouldn't know if that repair area was still the problem or somewhere else. Is seems logical to use it, and it seems here at least when roofs need...

I just got someone I was told has many years of building and roofing work experience to do a small repair to my roof, a very small amount of water gets in on the edge where there are ridge tiles. He's done a very tidy job with cement work but I've just noticed he's used an external waterproofer...

I did have a little stress released when I laughed at an automatic email from the agent asking for feedback. They really wouldn't like what I have to say right now! Yes for sure, I agree with that, but the cost is just too high for me and also because of the delays my costs are going to...

Hi flameport Interesting what you said about relisting as I know I've seen property in the past relisted and was pretty sure the date had changed. But I can't be sure if that was Rightmove and with a 14 week gap between agents or the same agent. But you seem very sure about that. Not sure if the...

Hi everyone I’m posting back here to give an update, and I really did appreciate the previous replies in my thread. Things have been (very very) messy indeed over the last 3 months! It’s crazy how I thought I could have been out of here before end of Dec 2017, that obviously didn’t happen...

Yes I did, and they've been pretty good. The thing that I find hard is having to deal with so many different people, that's just how they work, each person has a specific task, but they do stand in for each-other when someone is away. It was put on the 3 main sites including rightmove, I have no...

I paid the agent up front to save on the fees, I think in end this may have been a mistake, I have been lied to on one very important point, actually two. Most of them try hard, but the attention to detail is lacking, but would it be any better with a high street agent, I've seen much worse work...

It's not about more money as such, it's about getting a fair price, it's about getting on with life! It's not as simplistic as that is it! It may well have been a waste of time, but if I didn't get the safety reports done and buyers pull out then I would never know if sale failed because of me...

My solicitor was surprised, further to that I'm leaving some stuff here, like bed and sofa so they don't have to buy new furniture straight away and could just move in if they want it! To get the same bed would cost a good bit of cash. Thanx I will do, but solicitor told me on Friday they need...

That option was suggested by my solicitor but declined, they or their solicitor requested inspection! Well I got gas check done and it passed, I found a guy today with a lot of calling around and it passed. The guy took fuse-box apart and checked everything and even check the RCD was working and...

Well I've signed, but I've not had a copy back showing they have signed yet unless solicitor hasn't thought of doing that which I doubt very much! You could be right, maybe they're just being extremely careful! The solicitor hasn't confirmed the completion date but the day in question has been...

Thanx for reply EFLImpudence Yeah I think you're right about the ploy! I got lucky with gas, a guy that has done work for a friend previously was in the area and came over last night. Very old boiler but past with flying colours. He spent a long time testing, pressure tests and volume flow tests...

I really need some advice. I'm selling my place and the buyers have at the last minute asked for safety checks on gas and electrics. Who should pay, or can it be split 50/50 and how much does each safety check cost on average? I've only got a few days to get this done, doesn't seem enough time!

I wish it was I would be rich by now LOL But like I said in a previous post I think it more likely of bulk data theft to be the issue just like the other data thefts I referred to earlier! You are 100% right about people turning lights out when away from home, even for extended periods of...
