Thanks Madrab, yes you're right 1in 60 is slightly below, and agreed that working to the limit may not always be best idea. Will reflect.

Sound advice, right, best get some pipe in then! Thanks again denso13

Thanks denso13 for quick response. Would you suggest pushfit or solvent? or both okay? thanks

Hello I am moving my upstairs bathroom and intend on having the 110mm waste pipe running parallel with the joists to the existing soil stack (where I will insert a new branch). The length of new run is just under 5m (so quite long). This is within BR here. The available angles from the...

Hi Noseall, thanks for showing an interest, Yes that's it, essentially making the masonry in-between taller. I agree that if hypothetically one lintel spanned both windows then the return would provide some stability, but in this instance the lintels both bear on the column in-between the openings.

Hello all, would very much appreciate your thoughts on a proposal regarding columns formed by adjacent window openings in masonry. House is 1980s 102.5mm Brick / 100mm lightweight block consruction with 60mm cavity The facade in question runs parallel with the floor joists (so no laterial...

Update , I'm led to believe that the weather probes will work with any controller.

Good morning, hoping someone could help clarify a few questions regarding the weather compensation features , specifically on the alpha e-tec combis please. I understand that the aim of such devices are to keep the return flow temperature as low as possible to maximise condensation...

Ah thanks Crank , from watching a couple of installation videos I naively believed no prep work necessary. Glad you guys have the experience to share!

Just a slither off the ribbing then. Would be a good thing for the manufacturer to improve for future sales. 3 ribbing sit on the cill so that's six 'ramps' to shave off each window. Good thought re extenders. Thanks again all. I'll give one a go tomorrow

Thanks Ronnie

Thanks all for coming back so quickly and for all the really good info. Just to clarify that the gap I am referring to is not the frame protruding out beyond the upper level of the cill ( I can appreciate this is designed for the drainage) but the gap that is formed as a result of these little...

Hi all, would be very grateful for your thoughts please. I have just acquired some PVC double glazed windows (Deceuininck Heritage 2800 profile) that I am going to install. I was just about to attach the cill when I realised that the ends of the bottom frame extrusion 'ramp-up' a little. (see...

Hmmmm reckon a few of those factors could be at play here. Thanks gas112.

Hi all. Just to advise that the second Engineer is not of the view that the boiler is scrap but has advised that a new case seal is required. Hopefully all sorted next week. Is it normal for two different Engineers to have such different outcomes? Is it necessary for me to have the first...
