Hi all, yet another raising the roof question, hoping someone can give me some advice. Just starting out considering a loft extension. We can't lower the ceilings, and are looking to raise the roof, well rebuild the entire roof which will give us a 60m2 loft area. The current roof height is...

Hello all, we have a summer house, which we recently improved by insulating it and then putting pine cladding on the inside. Id now like to paint the clasdding (which is untreated). Just wondering what product I should use to undercoat it, as Im intenidng to use Dulux Light and Space on...

Well he changed another sensor today, but it had no affect. Tomorrow he's going to try changing the gas valve (i think), as it was spluttering while the flame was on. After that hes out of ideas and reccomends a new boiler.

Plumber is coming back today. He suggested an alternative to a powerflush would be to put something in the system (cant remember what he called it) and then run the heating for a few hours for three or four days, then he'd come back and drain the system, and replace it with an inhibitor....

Hi all, Looking to replace our Potterton Performa 24 with a reliable, A rated new boiler. But dont know the first thing about which boiiers models are good, can anyone suggest some I should be looking at. Not sure if it matters, but its a three bed semi, one bathroom/shower.

Hi all, theres a brick on the front out our house, that is broken, in that the face of it has come off and the inside is exposed. Given that this is a victorian house its to be expected I guess... I was wondering if anyone knows of a seal or something (preferable transparent) that I could...

Sorry! Last message was for another thread. Ive got a fantastic home office in the garden, for exactly the same reason, when our little one came along I got kicked out the house. I bought and had a summer house installed, then had it insulated, cladded, sky light installed, and fully wired...

Thansk for that, the wallrock thing seems to have gotten good reviews, expensive but might just be worth it.

Yeah, it looks like we might be heading down the route of a new boiler. He did suggest a powerflush, my concern with that is that is an old house/system and dont really want to risk pipes leaking under the floors etc.

Hi all, we have a Potterton Performa 24 that was here when we moved it. Recently its started playing up. When you run the hot tape the boiler burner light comes on after a while, stays on for about 10-20 seconds then goes out for 10-20 seconds, then comes back on, this continues. This means...

Hi all, we have a room in the house that seems eternally cold, its got three external walls. Im planning to wallpaper the walls with Wall Doctor, in my experience this makes them less cold to the touch, and then paint them... is there a better way to internally insulate the room (its not a...

HI all, we just had a new sandstone patio laid. Ive read a few things online about how water eats sandstone, with all the rain we've been having, should I use a sealer to protect it?
