No !!! now go away it will still be drying the day after ,if it starts to sound hollow then you have a problem but just leave it for now :roll:

You cannot learn how to plaster properly in five days :roll:

Sounds like the plaster needs to be redone in lime or a similar breathable plaster ,i didn't realise it had been done in bonding ,that is the problem .If you want to sort it cheaper then wickes one coat is quite good and seems to breath well on old walls .Not sure how long it lasts though .

Yes can't afford to pay anyone else as i have just been in hospital so moneys a bit tight and the cars died as well :roll:

Just looked at an exploded diagram of the boiler and the heat exchanger is the one i thought it was

I would not expect it to be anything to do with the plastering if it didn't appear until 3 months later .There must be somewhere it is getting in ,it doesn't need much for water to get in and once it's found it's path will just get worse . Have you tried a dehumidifier in there to dry it out...

That will be the one on the front of the boiler won't it ? It went up to 3 bar again overnight ,tonight just to make sure i will drain it down to 1.2 bar and then turn the water off and see if it goes up .

Great ,got to find the money for one now then :(

Right i have checked the valve and its ok ,checked the pipe leading to the vessel and that is ok so i ran the heating with the mains turned off and the pressure didn't move .I now have the heating on with the mains on and after 45 mins the gauge is creeping up . So i guess this is pointing to...

With the changeable weather we have been having i wouldn't take the risk just yet

Roy i meant to say a stiff churn brush

If you do have to patch it i find its easier to just use sand and cement render and then make it look like terolene with a small stiff brush patting the surface to make the look of the terolene

Sorry guys bloody internet been down all day yesterday :roll: I have already disconnected the filling loop so it can't be that How do i check the other components ? and you say run with the water off ,so i turn the boiler off drain it back down to 1 bar and then run the ch for how long ...

It just goes up regardless of what i do :?

Im afraid there is no quick fix ,you need to do it all or you will just be pushing the damp elsewhere

Hi , i have a grant combi mk11 oil fired boiler that started to get high pressures .This has happened before so i changed the expansion vessel .I checked the pressure in the vessel before i installed it and it was fine a 1 bar ,drained the system and then fitted the new vessel .It was ok for a...

Or do what a friend of mine did and get a few of the lads from the estate to come round and fill and sand all the bits and pay them a pittance :lol:

Yes i suppose i will just have to keep wetting it ,i have waterproofer in the scratch coat its just the sun and wind i think drying it out ,just wasnt sure if there was anything else i might have forgotten

Pva'd a scratch coat to slow down drying time ? Im having to do a gable end on my own and it was scratched last week and this morning i came to start it supposedly with another spread :roll: anyway wet down the walls and start putting it on but i am only comfortably able to do a 2m square at a...

Your mix is too strong ,the scratch coat i normally do at 4-1 and then 5-1 for the top coat ,the top coat being stronger than the scratch coat is what is causing your problem
