To make the wall flush. It will be plasterboarded as if the fireplace was never there once done.

Yes, it looks like the breast has a liner of some sort when I looked up it from below with my phone camera. We are removing the fireplace entirely, and these firebacks typically protrude out from the wall. So either they need to be shaved down with an angle grinder (lots of mess and dust, but...

It is relatively new build - circa1980

I can't really see a lintel at the top of this fireback. The chimney breast is also on the outside of the house. See images.

Thanks, I think that seems to have sorted it after some initial testing.

Isn't the backplace from Wiser identical? It's the same as far as I can tell. I queried about this link between L and terminal 1 and that is only when the boiler is 24V apparently?

I have purchased a Wiser smart home kit. I've removed my old Drayton dial and simply mounted the hub. It turns on fine and connects to the radiator smart values with no issue, however, when adjusting the temperature in the rooms, it didn't seem to call for heat from the boiler - the boiler...

Is it possible to put the laminate floor on top of the celotex boards with the use of underlay? Can we do without the tongue and groove OSB boarding?

Almost all videos I have seen where contractors have done work have used t&g boarding. Kingspan technical have also advised 18mm as a minimum ontop of their foil faced boards. The movement document is the natural.expansion and contraction over the seasons where the perimeter gap widens and...

Our detached garage that is being converted is at the stage of having its floor built. We understand that from our research it's a DPM, foil faced insulation (we can only do 25mm due to height), tongue and groove OSB, underlay and then laminate floor. My research shows that the OSB will move...

I've seen some of the hollow ones which appear to be more common, but somehow they are remarkably expensive for what they are. Almost £40 for a 2m length with a 400mm profile. I imagine the metal core ones are significantly more. It's a case of trying to balance cost with practicality. No the...

We're in the middle of a garage conversion and we're filling in the single door and the garage large door. We've sourced a second hand large double patio door which is 1780 wide whereas our opening is about 2178. It's about 200 either side. I know there are frame add-ons and extenders to...

I depressurised the boiler earlier this week, the needle went back into the green zone, and the pipe outside stopped weeping. 2 days later, the needle is gradually creeping back out of the green zone very slowly. By the end of the week I will have to depressurise again. Does this help narrow...

Thanks, I have since released the pressure, but have noticed it climbing again. Are there any possible reasons for why it might be repeatedly becoming over pressurised? I think the valve is working correctly by letting the excess water out

I have attached photos of a copper pipe which has an opening that constantly drips water (I think). The white one below is the condense outlet, but i don't know what the one pictured is for. Is there a problem with the boiler that it is constantly outputting water that is leaking onto the floor...
