    Vokera Linea

    I've got a Vokera Linea which needs filling from the filling loop every day when the heating is used, but never when it's not in use. I can't find any leaks, but haven't had the floors up. A plumber friend who admits he doesn't know much about heating suggested it might be evaporation, but...

    possibly daft question

    stone walls

    Honestly? - I'm not sure. I'm a complete novice here. How would I tell whether I've a DPC? - the walls are dry and there are no problems with damp anywhere in the house except for an occasionally leaky cellar. As for moving south - I'd rather be cold!

    stone walls

    I live in an old cottage with exposed stone walls. It's freezing! Is there anything I can do to stop the stone sucking up the heat? thanks
