    'Deep' patio needs a lot of hardcore/sub-base...

    Hi Mr Rusty and thanks for your reply. I did post the same issue on another forum and the general consensus there agreed with yours. A shame as we had someone in to do the wall and now I'll have to work round what we have. It's funny you mentioned about the half decking as that was one solution...

    'Deep' patio needs a lot of hardcore/sub-base...

    WORCESTER GREENSTAR 30SI Leaking

    Hi there lads & first & foremost thanks for the speedy reply. I'm not just saying it, but my first thoughts were that it was the prv, however, my reasons for then discounting it were a) it wasn't piped to the outside (although having said that, there was a cupped nut screwed on to it, with an...

    WORCESTER GREENSTAR 30SI Leaking

    Hi there all. I have a Worcester Greenstar 30 SI combi boiler which has developed a leak. If you are looking at the boiler from the front, underneath in the back right hand corner there is a threaded pipe connected to nothing poking down. It appears that this threaded pipe is attached to...
