either the Sentinel one or the BWT one?

Hi looking at the installation instructions for one of these it states that the inhibitor should be placed before the Boiler. Is there any reason it cant be installed (or has anyone tried this) just after the main stop cock therefore protecting all the plumbing from lime-scale? Thanks :-)

thanks Noseall :D

Do I need to nail the tile batons at every rafter? also tiles, do I need to nail every tile? (concrete double pan tiles on 18deg pitch) at then roof ends tiles need to be cut in half in order to maintain joint staggering? Thanks :?

thanks theoldun This forum is extremely helpful and that's only due to people like you, noseall and others that help the less knowledgeable like myself. :D :D

theoldun i have 2 hips as the roof goes down the side of my house, juts out a little, then around the back and over an old flat roof extension. hence the two hips. i have a gable at the front. the joining of the celling joists is over the new extension (2.7m span) and over the old...
