OK - thanks. Any ideas on why this might be sliding down - anything I can do to fix?

Hi All, appreciate your time. My motorised garage door will roll back down after opening, sometimes half way and sometimes a few inches. I think I need to re-tension the spring by supporting weight loosening u Bolts and and tensioning by rotating the bar with Stiltsons? I'm fairly handy but...

Just for my understaning - you mentioned 'Building Control'. At what point should you involve building control - is that required / recommended here? This is a brick shed at the bottom of the garden - what Building Control or standards do I need to think about other than those mentioned...

One follow up question - for the gaps in the roof joists - what is the best approach here? Batton and Rock Wool style insulation or more foam board insulation? thanks so much.

> Are the pillars half-brick or full-brick depth? I can't tell from the photo. Half Brick.

Hi, I want to insulate an 8x3m shed for part time office use, possibly partition off half so there is a smaller area to heat. I was thinking insulated plaster with foil, dot and dab it in and seal with tape. Walls have damp course and it’s a concrete base. Don’t want to spend a fortune on...

Very true. I work in financial Cyber Security - the amount of vendors that have no idea now their own products work at the lowest level - we end up reverse engineering what their apps are trying to do some of the time - takes ages but is usually quicker than them fixing their own problem.. So...

IT works - new heating gateway + thermostat wired in and worked first time. Spent 30 mins on call to Vaillant this morning who insisted it was my wifi/mesh network when I knew it wasn't. I do appreciate them trying of course.. I think it broke when it did the firmware update. I was very careful...

Not a lot of joy from them. I’ve been in IT for 30 years and they can only suggest it’s a Mesh wifi problem but the thermostat uses radio.. and I know the wifi is working properly.. new thermo and Gateway should be delivered tonight so can hopefully install later.

I've had this for 4 years - never been an issue. The boiler is cabled to the heating gateway - a small box that handles radio to the thermostat and a wifi connection so it can get weather data and talk to the servers that handle the app that you log into. It learns how long it takes to heat the...

No - that only works if the thermostat is connected to the boiler/HG and it isn't, and that's really annoying

Cheers. Useful to know.

Thanks.. Done that too.. I think thermo or HGateway has failed.. waiting on Vaillant tech who are closed today.. might just buy another exact same and fit.

Hi, I've rebooted router, wifi, gateway, left them off for a few mins etc. Its an Vaillant 835 Ecotec Pure with the Vaillant 0020197226 vSMART wireless programmer Combi Control Pack (if that helps!) - so yes a Combi

Glad you are sorted - I am having no end of issues... My wireless thermostat has now lost connection to the heating gateway. It will not connect. I have replaced the batteries (the old one's were fine), but it will not pair. I cannot re-add the thermostat in the app as the application isn't...
