Thanks Tony,
The boiler seems to be delivering hot water as normal with showers etc. The only issue seems to be the endless cycling of the burner with the UFH.
I contacted Baxi for the service and used their 'approved' service company. The boiler was running fine up to this.
I'd like to...
Hi Everyone
I have a Baxi Duo Tech Combi and a wet underfloor system downstairs and radiators upstairs. I'm coming into my 2nd winter with this installation.
I have noticed that when the Underfloor zones are demanding heat from the boiler, the burner light goes on for about 5 seconds, then...
Hi
I have exposed the drains and 25mm MDPE supply pipe at the side of my house to track down a source of damp. The MDPE has been run under the plastic inspection chamber which has been set on concrete. There is a join in the pipe which looks like may well be under the inspection chamber...
Hi
I was just wondering if anyone has had a chimney rebuilt in the Belfast area and was happy with the work?
My 1920's red brick semi has badly spalled bricks on the chimney breast and after flashing repairs etc, it now looks like the problem is to do with a badly installed lead tray...
Hi Matty
The installer did not add a vapour barrier. Just the underlay.
If there was an effective vapour barrier and the screed had a high moisture reading, would the screed eventually dry out and where would the moisture escape to?
When screed is drying, I take it then that the...
Thanks, all good info there on the damp readings and the screed. I should be able to get hold of a thermometer to check the temp of the flooring.
I pushed the prongs of the damp meter into the surface of the affected wood and it is giving me a high reading right on the discoloured wood. The...
Hi
The concrete screed is about 4 inches deep.
Don't know what the moisture reading of the concrete slab below the screed was before laying, if that's what you mean. There was no measurement taken that I am aware of, other than the 2 pronged meter maybe. The builder deemed it to be dry...
That's a fair point ref the pressure. There is a pressure gauge on the UFH manifiold, but there seems to be quite a bit of variation depending on how many zones are active and if the Radiator side of the system is on.
Not sure how 'sealed' the UFH side is either in terms of pressure, as the...
Thanks for the reply.
Just for info, the same thing is happening in the kitchen adjacent to this room where the plastic strips lie beneath the boards longways. Although not as bad. There is always about 4 to 5 good boards between the affected ones.
The other 2 rooms and hall where the...
