    Draft behind plasterboard in new extension

    My plasterboard was attached to the brickwork via studs (I think) and I was more concerned with the cold air getting in there and the roof in the first place. I was looking for the source of the drafts when I spotted the gaps behind the guttering. However, when I took the guttering down to fill...

    Draft behind plasterboard in new extension

    I've just had an orangery added to the house and I'm having a similar problem - there's a draft coming from under the skirtings and through the recessed spotlights. Its not a big draft, you can only feel it with your hand right up against them. Both the roof and wall cavity were insulated but...

    1 cold radiator!

    Hi everyone, I’m after some advice. I’ve tried 6 heating engineers but so far none have turned up so I have resorted to trying to have a go myself. I have a radiator on a combi system which refuses to heat up. The pipe work and TRV valve heat but it won’t transfer into the radiator. I have...
