Sorry about the late reply, you're both right.. It was like that but a very small opening at the bottom.. im talking 1cm.. Anyway, thanks all!

I emptied the gully completely and there are no outlets i can see.. Can the water perhaps seep through into the pipe? Someone must have put it there for a reason.. the pipe that is.

Hi all, We've recently had a porch built which was mainly a DIY sort of project. All is well, guttering is up but ive stumbled upon a bizzare situation with our current gullie for the main roof. Not sure if this is correct. Essentially the main roof guttering is feeding into a gullie on the...

Hey all, I've had the plumber in numerous occasions now to fix this boiler.. Several things were wrong, and at this stage, the diverter valve and expansion tank were fully replaced. The boiler has been going well for a few months, but now another problem has emerged. Was wondering perhaps if...

So its definitely not normal... Is this something i should get the boiler guy in for?

Hey, I Have an old Worcester Bosch Oil Boiler - Heat slave I believe.. I've recently connected a WiFi thermostat to it. Its all working as it should. But something happens that i'm not sure is normal, if perhaps someone knows something about it. When the Hot water is on, for around 2 - 3...

You will appreciate the end result, its a lot of work but satisfying to know one has a lot of space for storage - always comes in handy! (also forgot to mention - wear a dust mask if you aren't already.. The fibers from insulation are a real pain in the ass) Here are some pics from my project...

Sorry for late reply: I can't really say, unless it is clearly not looking able to take weight i.e the wood doesn't appear sturdy, there are cracks or whatever then maybe not. I'm not an expert at it so might be worth to get a second opinion, or if you are worried maybe even some professional...

Not stupid at all. An air gap is important to allow ventilation through the eaves and under the boards. Compressing the insulation like in your pictures also negates some of the effectiveness of the insulation, so its not doing its job as well as it could. Boarding the loft was very useful when...

I know some people are die-hard Makita fans.. don't blame them either. But if you don't mind Dewalt: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dewalt-dcz298s2t-gb-18v-1-5ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill-impact-driver-twin-pack-2676116 Decent deal and you will save 70 Bob. =]

Getting back to you late, but this worked a treat. Wired up according to the Burner (direct Control) Diagram which is what you have linked above. (the Combi Diagram is what confused me during this whole process, it wasn't needed in the end). The new thermostat is up and running, I have also...

I think it is just a conventional oil boiler. The instructions show heatslave 15/19 as a combi, however my boiler guy said this is a conventional. Hot water for example can only be used for 30 seconds if the hot water is set to off, however when on, one can then have showers etc. So would I use...

Here is the diagram of the boiler: Unit Diagram: I had a look at the PCB console: From what I understand I Am to take out the jumper pin in the Room stat terminal, place cables A + B into them, (does it matter which way?), and then place a L + N into the mains terminals of the boiler...

Edit: Edit: After taking a look at PCB for the Boiler, the thermostat next to the boiler turns out to be a Frost stat with the wrong facia - I'm guessing the previous owner wanted to use up supplies! Ideally, I'd like to keep it there. So, the current situation is as follows, My Kitchen 7day...

appreciate your help. I will change the wire soon, hopefully will figure out the new stat also. Time to pray the pcb wiring is done correctly :o
