Hi. Unfortunately I found 1 rogue bird in the actual loft space. Again a house sparrow. It disappeared as soon as I saw it. Need someone to really fit comb fillers once these birds have dispersed. I'd fit them myself if it wasn't for the conservatory in the way

Ok, thank you very much for this information. The only issue I foresee like you mentioned, how to fix down the fillers over the conservatory. I want to avoid scaffolding if at all possible. Otherwise may just leave it to professionals. Trouble is, finding someone reputable in my immediate...

Hi, thanks for this. This is just the reply I needed, comb filler, never heard of it before you mentioned it...is that all that is needed, essentially to cram in between the underlay and roof? You're quite right, those trays were fitted when the new gutters and soffits were fitted a few years...

Hi All, I have an issue with some House Sparrows entering my loft in between the fascias and the roof. I hear them during the night rustling in the eaves area. Once they have left, I was thinking of using mortar up there but then realised it might be too tricky since I have a conservatory...

PLEASE DELETE THANKS.

Hi Dan, Thanks for the reply. Bringing up the search for reverse circulation gave me a whole host of links. This sounds like the exact problem, I just didn't know the term until now. Will do some more digging around with that term now and see the feasibility of taking this further. Thanks...

Hi all, I have an issue with my central heating which I hope someone can help me understand please. It is an old conventional heating setup with a glow worm boiler (circa 1985). The switch for central heating+water heating or water heating only wasn't working, it always stayed on central...

I just tried to follow those pipes as much as I could. The pair come out of the airing cupboard and down into the floor (the ground floor ceiling). The only significant noise when the system is turned on is coming from the boiler itself. Thanks for the replies!

Hi again, I have had a good look around and can't find the diverter valve. Maybe I don't have one? I have inspected around the water tank in the airing cupboard and have drawn up a simple illustration of what I have seen. Because of limited access I am unable to take any decent pictures of...

Thanks for the information. I have learnt something new already. I will let you know when I find them :)

I assumed the pump was in the boiler as I do hear a little noise from the boiler when it's on. I have seen a stop tap on a pipe next to the cylinder and a gauge on top of the cylinder. There is a water tank in the loft that seems to fill the cylinder when I use the hot taps. I will totally...

That all makes sense, the two top ones would be supply and return and the small one will be the gas. Good question. Could they be located anywhere? I have taken the bottom cover off the boiler and there are no apparent valves there. Thank you.

Hi, yes I have. I think it is totally redundant and from an older system perhaps, as it has no effect on the central heating at all. :? Any other ideas? Thanks for your reply.

Hello all, We have moved into a house which has one of these ancient Glow Worm Space Saver 38 boilers. The boiler itself works perfectly fine with no leakages that I can see, hence I'd rather keep it right now. It operates off an old Randall 102 controller. On the side of that controller...
