    Boiler efficiency improvement

    Everyone is feeling the pinch at the moment and I certainly count myself as one of them, so I have been looking into how efficiently I can get my boiler running, to hopefully shave a few quid off the gas bill this winter. Some background information on my set up: • I have a 15kw worcester...

    Some radiators not getting hot after recent work

    Thanks for your suggestions everyone - it turned out that the replacement had been carried out incorrectly. The original manifold was split into two chambers internally, thus creating a separate flow and return. The plumber had just replaced it with a run of ports with no set flow or return, so...

    Lean-to wall strong enough for tiled roof?

    Hi all, I have a lean to with a corrugated plastic roof. I've been given enough concrete double roman tiles to cover the area and I feel I'm capable enough to replace the roof myself. The only thing I don't know is if the current lean-to wall will be strong enough to take the weight. It's a...
