Thanks for the reply, I should probably have been more descriptive in my title... The worktops are already fitted. This is a picture of the offending worktop edge which is unsealed... Should I be concerned? .. can you embed google drive images? Access here anyway -...

Hi all, I've fitted my laminate worktop this week and have just realised I have a cut edge against a wall that is not sealed. It is in the corner against the wall, there is a generous amount of silicone sealing the top of the worktop to the wall plus upstands above (fitted yesterday) sealing...

Thanks for the reply, Upstands are 20 mm thick- they’re laminated chipboard so quite flexible anyway.

Hi All, Fitting my kitchen (first time but not a stranger to DIY) and this may sound like a stupid question (or rather a very rookie question) but here goes. I have at the maximum a 15 mm gap between the back of my worktop and the wall with the worktop overhang equal along the length - i.e...

Thank you for the reply and advice, sorry for the late reply! The plumber eventually got back in touch, came round and agreed that the system was noisier than expected and also agreed with you that it should not need a LLH. He was able to track the noise down to the bypass valve and clearly...

Hi all, As my plumber seems impossible to get hold of at the moment... or well ever(!) I was hoping I could run something past you knowledgeable folk. I've been renovating my house and have had wet underfloor heating put in throughout the ground floor (2x zones; front and back), radiators...

I did almost exactly the same with mine (ended up being the PCB at fault... well one of many faults) but I left the motor housing off so I could open the front of the boiler and then just wind the nut of the lead screw to switch between hot water and heating... this was just before the last...

Yup, hose was completely blocked at the tee end, including the tee (so a 1 hour job turned into 3!) . Just got it all back together, will blast the heating for a few hours and see what happens but so far it's looking ok... A filter will definitely be going on the new heating circuit. Thanks for...

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll investigate it further today or tomorrow. Cheers

I've been able to follow most of the heating circuit and I've not seen any capped pipes and I bled all the radiators reasonably frequently but it's an interesting thought. I've had to drain the boiler maybe a half dozen times while working on it and the only way to provide an air inlet just for...

I've not checked them specifically but it's been running for 3 years with the same volume and at the same temperature as it is now and always been in the 1 - 2 bar range cold to hot. When I said inherited it I meant it was here with the house when I bought the place, not that someone gave it to...

Hi all, Thanks for having a great forum, I've found many a valuable tip over the years from here but I'm now up against a conundrum. I've just replaced the expansion vessel of my inherited Saunier Duval Thema Condens F24 E combi but the pressure is still going very close (if not over) the 3...
