Thanks guys, so i should probably get a quote from a pro for this?

Hi All, I am moving my toilet to the other side of the vertical soil pipe. Currently its a cast iron (looks to be 110mm) fitting. I am hoping that the section to the toilet can simply (with a bit of banging to loosen) be lifted out and a new plastic joint exiting to the right can be fitted. This...

Hi, are we referring to the metal cover that encloses the parts including expansion vessel, combustion chamber etc? I have removed this cover and nothing beyond it. I genuinely thought this was simply a cover to minimise noise. I had this cover off a couple of years ago when the engineer came...

Ok, guys. back again. I thought i would give this another go before I can in the experts. Same issue has re-occurred Error 133. Last time the system started to work again after resetting many many times. Now i have same issue with both heating and hot water not working. Before we go any...

Many thanks Agas, I will give that a try. I assume if it is simply the flame sensor this does need a qualified gas safe engineer as the sensor is on the gas side?

Apologies but I thought I had made it clear in my second post that I would only be checking the afore mentioned sensor if it was possible without infringing gaswork regs. I thought taking a voltage, current or continuity check would be ok.

Ok thanks for ok thanks for that info. I am aware that gas work should not be undertaken unless qualified. I was hoping that a check between senor and pcb would be possible and assumed this would not be gaswork as not removing the sensor? Also advice as to if this is the likely problem so I...

Just checked again and I looked at the wrong fault finding section. The recommended check is check gas supply pressure, assuming this is ok for now. Check mechanical set of gas valve CO2 values, flames sensing electrode and position. Therefore back to original query, can I check the flame...

hi, have got the E133 error code for both HW and CH. The fault finding steps are check ignition electrode and lead, electrode connection and spark gap/position. The boiler is firing up, that is to say it tries to run 3 times in a row before returning back to the E133 code. I can see the gas...

Thanks for replies. Would love to hear a few more thoughts on this. Like I mention I know neighbours have done very similar without issues and their houses are still standing :-)

Many thanks. If i only go ahead with knocking down the wall as per neighbours with the additional small section and leave the kitchen boor where it is now would this have any impact on fire safety as the staircase would have the same protection it has now? thanks again.

Oops. I knew i had forgot something. They are 400mm.

Hi All, just thought i would pose this question to the knowledgeable people on here. Please see attached pics. Eventually would like to remove the wall shown in the pics to achieve the layout in the NEW PLAN pic. However I wont be in a position to do this for another year or so. Until then I...

Thanks for that. To get to this part do I need to break any gas connections? If not I will have a go myself unless I get a load of posts advising against it. Really appreciate the help and advice.

Many thanks guys much appreciated. Any idea of an estimate for this. I am in Newcastle upon Tyne as I imagine rates will vary across the country?

Hi, yes the pressure gauge bounces or flickers at around its normal 1.5 level. After the water is turned off the pressure shoots up to around 2.5 and looks like it's dropping very slowly. The washing machine was running at this point which I did not realise so this behaviour may differ slightly...

Hi all, just thought I would post my problem on here before calling out an engineer. Hopefully it's a problem I can fix to keep the price down as its not a good time of year to be paying for unnecessary work to be done. Ok we have a Potterton Promax HE Plus combi boiler which has been...

You say that you cant remove the diagonals and replace with vertical frame to support purlins due to load transfer to floor. Surely the diagonals are placing load on the floor as they are? I have had a builder and he brought what I assume to be an engineer/architect and they seem to think the...

I know this post is ancient but had to laugh at the comments. I am not a tradesman but after reading twice it was clear the guy wanted to raise his conservatory floor now that he had decided not to go for under floor heating. Hope my posts receive more help than Dazza :-)

Hi, wondering what is maximum height difference you can get away with at door threshold for two laminate floors joining. I have in the hall way a thin foam type of underlay which is perhaps 3mm with 8mm laminate on top. I have just purchased the living room laminate which is 12mm. I have not...
