Looks like they sell parts to sort them , maybe they do fail quite a bit then but for the price worth it.

LOL, after all that, I have decided to go for just a simple instant water heater http://www.dafi.co.uk/instant-tankless/in-line-73-kw-instant-dafi-under-sink-water-heater.html

Its vented through the tap!! In other words its VENTED! I don't want the hassle of having a pipe going back to the header tank to vent it do I! Unvented does not require a special tap but rather an expansion vessel and outlet and mains pressure.

Hi Tony, i am not that confused . You didn't mention earlier that it will only work with 1 .0bar pressure this is the sort of info i was after. With a point of use cylinder vented you have to use a venting tap. Like these ones...

Well the water is not the best but okay.. But either way vented or unvented there will be same issues? Or is vented more robust? Reason i don't want to go vented is that i have to use a ridiculous tap.

Hi, I'm thinking of installing a point of use mini hot water cylinder into my laundry room. Something like this: https://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/ariston-europrisma-over-sink-15l-3kw-electric-unvented-water-heater/ My question is, can I connect an unvented mini cylinder to the water...

Thanks for the help guys much appreciated. Finally getting around to sorting this now! Just wondering what size stone /gravel i should use 10 mm or 20 mm in my cement mix 1 cement + 2 sharp sand + 3 gravel (10mm or 20mm) ?

Yes, no cavity exists, single block construction. I plan on doing what is done in this room to all rooms. I have to do one room at a time as i'm living there. Should be a pro by the end of it :P There is strange mushroom smell indeed, probably due to the rotten timbers

Rather than Kingspan I was thinking of a 27 mm plaster board with thermal backing dot and dabbed on the wall. I think the walls are solid block cavity and there is external render. Should I just leave the thermal board as there is no cavity? The other rooms from a small inspection seem...

Thanks for that, wasn't to sure on the concrete mix so that helped a great deal. This is my final approach: 1 - Fill slots with a mix of very approx. 1 cement: 2 sand: 3 to 4 stone after slurrying the edge/walls of the slots with a mix of 1 sand and 1 cement. 2 - Apply bonding compound...

Can someone recommend a hygrometer flooring meter that doesn't cost to much to test a concrete floor for % relative humidity? Thanks

Should I go for a pin less one a concrete floor? I don't really want to spend to much on one, max budget around £70 Thanks

Yep the concrete feels dry but after reading the sticky mentioned in my post I'm looking to buy one now .

My partner and I have just bought our first home.A 1950's bungalow which is need of refurbishment. So far it has thrown us a ton of surprises! The worst so far being the floor in one of the bedrooms. After pulling up the old floor boards we found a concrete poured floor underneath with broken...
