Having my dry verge sorted as some of the caps keep on blowing off. As it stands there is a 2-3 inch overhang from the wall and it looks like the dry verge has just been screwed into the wet verge and don't even come close to the batterns. Proper cowboy effort by the looks of things. Had a...

Thanks muggles. Presume this is the only stopcock. Thought this may have been the external and would have had an internal as well?

Any help appreciated. Trying to find stopcock in our house that we have been living in for over a year. Looked everywhere and looks like the cold water feed is coming in from under the sink from what I can make out. The meter is under a panel on adjacent wall is where the conservatory is. I...

Do you feel a need to cut the tiles back to have the caps flush to the wall. I know it would look a little neater but is there any need?

Fully insured Both fully insured Picture of gable end might help [img=https://s32.postimg.org/i0yvmiapd/IMG_20160524_163940.jpg] Not sure of mrf's recommend as it was like this when we moved in. None of them have been up to take a look and I'm not sure if it was fitted over the wet verge.

Had a builder out to quote for some work done on my 3 bed semi. New upvc coverboard on fascias, new upvc soffits, new gutter and down spout, on the rear of the house(scaffold needed over conservatory) and on gable end we have some dry verge caps loose. The dry verge overhangs the wall about 2...

Was wondering if anyone thought this was the going rate for the following work.

Ok will do. Any idea of a rough cost for removing the dry verge and going back to mortar for a typical 3 bed house would be?

Tha Cheers for the reply. To be honest we are not sure what they did as we have only recently moved in. What would you advise being the best course of action. Would you just fix the verges back on and maybe full the holes with something?

Wondering if someone could help me with a repair that we need doing on the dry verge of our gable end. We have a couple of holes under the end caps that probably birds have pecked away along with a few loose dry verge caps. Just wondering if this would be an easy fix and a rough price for...

Ok, another follow up. Plumber cam round yesterday and changed PRV and checked expansion vessel. All has been well and pressure rising from 1.5 bar to just under 2 bar when at 80 degrees. Came to look at PRV overflow this morning(tied a bag on it after plumber changed PRV) and found that it...

Well it's pouring out PRV now without getting anywhere near to pressure. So does look like its a gonner . Think valve is stuck open so it's just emptying as fast as filling.

Ok, will get a plumber around to it as soon as I can.

Update Looks like the PRV it is letting by and needs to be replaced. Pressure has been slowly decreasing 0.3 bar this week and have some water in bag from PRV. Pressure when heating on has been ok and been increasing to about 2 bar when heating on. Just wondering if this still could be the...

Tony. Just switched system on again from cold and been running it for about 35mins. Temperature indicated is 80 degrees and has settled at 1.6 bar from 1.1 bar cold. Is this acceptable?

I was playing about with the tvrs on the rads when the heating was on as the ones upstairs are only set to 2 and wanted to see how it would handle it. Gonna give it a few days and if it starts misbehaving will get a rgi out to have a look at it. Don't mind getting my hands dirty but don't want...

Yes. The flue from the cooker goes adjacent to the boiler flue. The boiler flue has been extended some distance outside and up and away from the other flue. It was mentioned when we bought the place and had it checked and all was deemed ok.

Thanks dilalio, danstace20 and all others who chipped in. Appreciate the help.

Looks like it's sorted, touch wood. Emptied the boiler and repressurised expansion vessel to 1 bar. Switched it all on and pressure rose to 2.3 bar with all rads on full belt. Now with system cooling seems to be settling at the 1 bar mark. Just wondering if no further options would it be best...

Just can't get to it even with grips. Can't get nothing on it.
