Thanks once again! With your advice I pointed the plumber in the right direction. It turns out that there was a problem with condensate draining off, but apparently further down the line, where he did not look first time. The boiler is fixed now and it did not cost me anything extra. However...

Thanks guys Apparently he is gas-safe certified. He told me he checked the condensate drain and he left the boiler working ... I managed to start the boiler this morning after it was off overnight. It made one of these sounds briefly and then fired up. Thus the pattern repeats itself. Boiler...

Hi I am wondering if anyone came across the following issue with ICOS boiler. Suddenly, it has started making loud noises - first every half an hour, then every 10 minutes and then it stopped working altogether with an FL or LF failure code on the display. If I reset it, it makes the noise...

Thanks for the replies. Of course, I do not expect him to give me the receipts for everything. However, I do not trust him, so I have to check everything to make sure I am not overpaying for his list of "extras". Your guess is correct, the reason I do not trust him is that he made multiple...

My builder claims he used 120m of 15mm pipe and 60m of 22mm pipe for partial re-plumbing of my semi-detached house, but provided receipts for just a half of this amount. Is this estimate realistic? The property is average sized semi-detached house, he plumbed one bathroom, one shower room...

The soakaway was done just 2 months ago. It collect water from 1/2 roof of semi-detached house plus 1 storey rear extension.

How would you re-route the downpipe from the roof above? Where would it go? The downpipe from the extension is on the right and goes into the soakaway.

The builder constructed a soakaway for our new extension (just a hole filled with rubble) 5m away from the extension. However, there gully (not a trapped version) where the guttering downpipe ends, is always full of water, even if there was no rain for a few days. I tested it, by adding...

Thank you. How long would it take for a roofer to put this right and how much should this cost?

Our extension has now been completed. However, I am not entirely happy with the way roof tiling is looking around the velux windows. The tiles are "kicking up", particularly around the velux window on the left. Apart from the aesthetic concerns, I am worried that this "untidy" appearance can...
