Thanks all. Interesting re the history of it, Jeds. I think you’ve summed up this particular house perfectly. The frontage is described on the listing and nothing else. It’s on a pretty average street in a pretty average Midlands town, surrounded by 60s dormer bungalows. It’s certainly not a...

Hey! Thanks for the reply. Understand basically everything I said would need permission. Just wondering what people’s experience is dealing with the council on this sort of stuff. Is it expensive, are they overly pendantic, etc.

Hey Folks, We're looking to move house (upsizing) and have a fairly decent budget. Our search area is pretty limited by a number of factors and the only potential properties that fit the requirements are all Grade 2 Listed. None of them are perfect and would need some work to get them to our...

Pretty sure that solved it. It flushes ok now and the return feels a lot hotter. Will see in a few hours if the water is hot. Thanks for the help all

Might have found the problem. There is a PRV with the pressure gauge on it installed on the return pipe from the tank. This was installed by the boiler installer as he didn’t realise the boiler didn’t have a pressure gauge built in and couldn’t get a gauge without a PRV attached quickly enough...

Just tried a mains flush on the tank. Keeping it short, fill loop is on the return. Isolated CH return pipe with isolator on the magnetic filter, isolated the pump valves to keep it out of the boiler, manually opened 2 port valve to hot water tank flow. Opened the drain off, which is directly on...

Hi Folks, I have a Worcester 40CDi boiler installed about 8 years ago (new when I bought the house) along with a Megaflow hot water tank - not sure of age, maybe 15 years old? Tank is one of the all in one pre-insulated, plastic coated types. I know the system pretty well as the boiler was...

I considered Lead but I can’t find anyone selling wooden roll batten either which I figured would give it the support it needs. The tiles overlap at their sides (https://redland.co.uk/settings/resources/files/documents/ministonewold_product-datasheet.pdf) so the headlap is, by design, less than...

You mean standard ridge tiles? Aside from the aesthetics of it, I figured I could just mortar the gap between tiles and wall or maybe use dry ridge if I was going to do something non standard. Do you see anything wrong with either of those options?

Have you found any in stock? All the ones I’ve seen have 6 month delivery estimates

Hi folks, What is the best way to finish the ridge of a mono tiled roof? Tiles are flat interlocking concrete. I see mono ridge tiles exist but I can’t for the life of me find anyone who sells them in a real shop. None of the big DIY chains or builders merchants seem to sell them. Photo...

Can't say I agree with you there. I spoke to Labgear support who said that the loop is only required if the switch is set to "Sat". Under the currently working configuration, if I set the switch to Sat and create the loop by connecting "TV" to "Return" on the faceplate, all TVs work as expected...

The issue seems to have been resolved. I reversed the wiring into the triplex part of the PSW351T. This means that it is wired contrary to the instructions that came with the plate but it does work correctly. The TV connected to "TV" gets signal. If I connect "TV" to "Return" directly and move...

There's no other equipment there at the moment. Simply the TV connecting into the wall plate. If the TV connects to the plate "TV", it gets no signal. If the TV connects to the plate "Return", it does.

It's cabled exactly as per the attached instructions. 3 bits of coax run from the distributor to the plate: Distributor "Down Link Out" connects to plate "combined" input Distributor "LNB 1 Out" connects to plate "sat" input Distributor "Up Link In" connects to plate "return" The switch on...
