Thanks for the reply. I went round with one of the building companies representative upon completion, nothing major found then. The contract states they give us another 2 years to fill in a defect sheet and pass it to them to deal with. In comparison to other houses on the estate, we have got...

Hi folks Just a quick query for ya. My girlfriend and I bought a newbuild in June 2007, we have 2 years to get the snagging list sorted for the builders, so I thought after 12 months (long enough for any defects to occur) I'd hand a list to the builders. Now, how long (legally) have they got...

SE means it is be due a service. Your boiler will still run ok, just needs a service. Al

Ensure all air is vented from the heat ex via the rubber hose, turn the boiler off then on again via the control panel and see if the diverter valve motor moves. If the DV motor moves up and down ok then it's probably the turbine (as has been said). Hope this helps. Al

Hi folks I got asked by a mate last night to have a gander at his underfloor heating. He has a Grant vortex combi 26 with Nu-heat underfloor system (with remote mounted pump module), I don't know enough about underfloor heating and thought you guys could clear some things up. In a...

Cheers John, I'll have a look around :)

Good point about enabling view, we're at the front of the estate next to the entrance. Was thinking of a short/small hedge, but I know the soil is quite shallow near the boundary due to the edging curb and 3 tonne of concrete the groundworkers used to sink them in. What hedge/shrub/bush would be...

It's marked on our plans, house is less than a year old. Would love to know why they built the wall 3 foot from the pavement leaving a grassed area infront. Don't get me wrong, I'm a dog lover but it just looks so tatty and patchy now.

Hi Just after a little advice please. At the front of our house we have our front lawn, a stone wall then a 3 foot grassed area then the pavement, the grass is looking pretty ropey, mainly due to dogs urinating etc and people taking the short cut (hardly worth it). Is there anyway/any...

Cheers guys, it was the morons in local Plumbase/Time & Temperature, they couldn't identify the part or even the correct water heater, even with the GC number. Totally confused and worried the customer. Al

Just a simple question guys, just wanted to check. Are the diaphragms for Britony water heaters the same, need to replace one in a IIT?

Cheers, thought it was lambda sensor, wasn't 100% certain though, looks well and tryly welded in.

Cheers Stivino, could you tell me what the sensor is in the front section too please?

Just after some info, well part number for my GF 106 exhaust. It's the front pipe, from the manifold to the centre pipe. The section with the sensor. Any ideas where to get it, cheaply? Cheers in advance Al

Saturdays don't bother me, been told 1 in 4 during summer time and 1 in 2 during winter, totalling 19 over the year. And I have covered most of the county of Cornwall self employed doing over a 1000 miles a week, so travel is not a problem. Just be glad to be employed again :)
