I had this with my turbo max and it was the pressure vessel that had deflated a guy pumped it up from the top of the unit and it was ok for a while but then started playing up again and I had to replace it cast about £300

Hi I am considering changing my boiler I have LPG at the moment but it doesnt seem to heat the water very well., it is 12 years old I have also considered electric and oil I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of these and which was best? Cheers

Given that this site doesn't allow the asking of ball park figures etc. does anyone know of a site that does, or gives a sample bill for different trades. I bought sarah beenies book price the job but that seems well out. It seems like a common question and when ever i need a quote doing i...

does this work out as about £10 per sqare meter? that seems resonable to me!

the timbers your talking about will span up to about 6 m at 400 centers according to trada but I joists will go further look on the finnforest web site for finn joists they span over 7m don't know about cost though

don't know sorry. it could be taking longer because of the dpc surrounding most of the edges? i.e. the only surface the moisture has to escape from is the surface.

concrete is 99% of its final strength after 21 days. it should be ready to work and dry from after seven.

cheers but what i'm really after is whether the plaster on these walls, if origional, the same as the plaster used today. or is it likely to be some cow dung / straw mix.

say a six by two and half meter piece of string taken back to brickwork. i just need a ball park figure, for a quote on a house i'm looking to buy, is it a tenner or £200. i haven't got a clue when it comes to plastering, just don't want to get ripped off

hi can any one tell me a typical cost for a plasterer per meter square?

basically how can i tell if the damp has ruined the plaster in an old house? basically the walls are very spongy and bulging in a lot of places but is this the plaster or character? could it be some thing else that you get in older houses its dated 1820 cheers

yeah i've seen a bow in a wall of a 2 year old new build house that you normally see in houses that are 120 years old because some body did that

you could put a larger beam running in the same direction and between the trusses splitting the span of the 8 m to two 4 m spans and then put some small beams or T section to break the 6.5 m span to two 3.25 m if its only taking ceiling load then it wont need too much steel and you'll get away...
