They get damp not wet.
Is that ok? Or were you referring to any moisture?
There's no DPC and there is a concrete patio outside (27in below ground floor level inside) where water pools against the wall; which needs a sledgehammer taking to it (the patio). Another job :(
Thanks for the reply.
I did contemplate that, but thought it sounded so much better to fill those irregular gaps with foam. Until I tried it :(
I suppose a foam gun would have the same problem, due to the can being upside down, on the top of the gun?
I need a flexible ~1m nozzle to allow the...
Hi,
Insulated under ground floor in 1890 house, from crawl space, by putting space blanket between all joists.
Now the awkward bits; the small gaps between wall and joist (4-6cm) and also the joist structure around fireplace.
I saw a suggestion here to fill the gap between wall and joist with...
I've been using sharp sand and NHL 3.5 3:1.
Ok. A few tips from the pros, if I may?
What's the best way to cut slate to fit the holes? Angle grinder? It seems to break pretty randomly otherwise.
In one joist hole there is a join between two bricks at the bottom. One brick is a couple of mm...
Still considering both options. Easy hotrod :)
What concerns me here, is that if the position for the slot is near the edge of a brick then it's almost impossible to drill right at brick edge. Drill will keep slipping.
Also, these old bricks have a tendency to break if knocked about.
Yes. Forgot to mention. Only the terminal number 4 is shown on the diagrams, though my frost stat also has a screw and clamp on T4 too.
Thanks very much for your prompt and helpful response. As usual Mr Hailsham :)
Ok. I have a T4360A1009 frost stat and an L641B1004 low limit pipe stat.
It would be simpler to wire if I could run a dual core to the frost stat and then a dual core from the frost stat to the pipe stat. The frost stat has an extra terminal 4 in there which is not mentioned in any literature...
Tis' nowt, but a healthy exchange of ideas :)
Indeed. I still have that in mind.
The old joist is out now. The holes are huge. One is 3 brick courses high, which was hidden behind the skirting. Not mortared in at all. Even pre-rot that joist end was only inserted about an inch into the...
Seems like a 9" angle grinder is going to be needed to make slots for the hangers?
Mine's a 4.5" grinder so not going to make big enough slots? Is there another way to do it?
Otherwise the hangers are a non starter. Back to slotting in the joist.
Thanks guys.
Just having a further think about this. Isn't the combination of stats so that when the criteria are met, that the boiler turns on for a reasonable burn time, enabling the heat to reach the far flung corners of the system? With just a pipe stat, the boiler may only fire for a short...
Thanks woody.
Which type of hanger?
Would the multi truss type;

bolted onto the wall, be a stronger fixing than the normal hanger which gets mortared in?
Or are multi truss hangers for something entirely different?
I suppose I could prop those...
