Hi All, I am looking at a property right now and pre-empting some of the survey points. The pointing seems to be missing in small places and "interestingly" patched in other areas. Does this still look serviceable with a bit of gap filling, or not really and needs to be done. Equally this is...

Hi All, I am just looking at a new property and noticed the fuse box looked a bit old and surrounded by lots of older looking 'stuff'. How old do you think this consumer unit is and anything that worries you about it (apart from the wiring to my eye looking a bit unkept!)

What is also interesting, but perhaps in tolerance, you can see the different coloured tiles. I wondered why they were there. But seemingly they had some movement and maybe the tile cracked, so they found a replacement put those in and you can see the thicker grouting around those particular...

We are looking at a property and it had an extension 2 years ago (the now typical thing where the back is extended out to create a large kitchen/entertaining space with big sliding doors at the back. There was a big RSJ put across the original back wall to allow this (the extension is about...

Hi, My parents have just bought a NEST (3rd gen) and want to replace their existing LP722. It is a Y plan system with a Drayton Mid Position motorised Valve. Can you advise the mapping of these from the LP722 configuration to the NEST connections. Thank you!

Brilliant, thank you, no other bridges or any thing like that?. Seems like I may have got this one right.

Hi, I have moved into a property that has a Hive System (just the basic one for a combi i.e central heating only and not water )installed and I want to switch it for my Nest 3rd Gen. Presumably N to N, L to L The earth seems to be hanging there, so I will need to check the other end of the...

Perfect, that was it. Much appreciated.

Aha, lets give that a go. Thank you !

Do I need to bridge 1 and 2?

Hi All, I finally got around to installing my Nest 3rd Gen, replacing a wireless digistat RF1. I also seem to have a double set of live/neutral wires and 3 for earth, I copied this exactly from the old system/wiring matching the numbers. There was that loose blue wire before unless it came up...

Hi, I am considering a new Nest thermostat to replace my old Drayton RF1 to go with my Worcester 25i (this currently runs a really basic dip switch wheel timer). Will I be able to just put the Nest in place of the RF1? or is it more involved because of the manual timer on the boiler? If so...
