Hi DHFrames, Thanks, that is what I assumed. I will ring and ask for the fabrication spec tomorrow, I'm sure they won't show me a copy mind you! As for the 3mm tolerance, that is quite interesting, I thought he might be telling the truth there but obviously not. I have managed to find...

Hi Pinnacle69, thanks for replying. That is exactly my opinion, should there be any tape on the hinges at all? Obviously there is a break in the gasket running down the door where the hinge is which is why they are saying there should be bit of tape there. As for the gasket in the frame...

Hi, We have just had a uPVC front and back door fitted but are getting draughts. Mostly through the hinges but also along the bottom of the doors. I have checked the frame and found that the hinge side is about 4-5mm bowed. The company who installed the doors is telling me that 3mm is the...

Hi, thanks for the replies! That is what I guessed. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply but I didn't actually mean between the shower tray and the wall. The bit I mean is the corner between the two walls from the tray to the ceiling and all the other corners of the room. Thanks.

Hi, I have just finished tiling our bathroom including the shower area. I have heard that the internal corner of the shower should be siliconed, is this right or should it be grouted? Is this the same for all internal corners? Thanks.

Hi, I need some help with preparing a wall for papering. When stripping the existing paper, it took a lot of the paint off the wall with it, in some cases it has even gone back to plasterboard, there are some quite large patches. I was thinking of sealing these patches and then covering the...

Okay, I cleaned the system out with Fernox F3 cleaner, left it running for a week then drained and flushed the system. I then treated with Fernox F1 Inhibitor and it has done the trick!! I am very surprised as it sounded so much like air in the system! Anyhow, it's sorted now so thanks for...

Thanks Breesey, I haven't tried cracking the cylinder unions yet. I'll give that a go and see what happens. I'll definately put some cleaner in and drain/flush it out at the weekend. I'll post an update with the results. Thanks for your help.

Okay, the 3-port valve is a Landis & GYR. I had a look at the vent pipe over the F&E tank and there was no problem there! I put a cut of water over the end and it did nothing. I guess that's good. Breesey, I didn't put inhibitor in as I will be replacing some more rads this month. I...

Just one other thing, the Grundfoss pump I fitted is supposed to be self venting so one would assume that this would vent the hot water?

Hi, thanks for the replies. It is a fully pumped system but there doesn't seem to be any air bleed! Could the 3-port valve be self venting and perhaps blocked? Not sure of the make, I'll check tonight and report back. I haven't checked the F&E tank, again I'll have a look at that tonight...

Hi, I seem to have a problem with what sounds like air in the hot water system. We have only been in the house for a couple of years and I'm sure the noise wasn't there when we moved in but I can't think when it started. The house is only about 13-14 years old. I bled the rads and a bit of...
