Hi all, Just had a new Worcester Greenstar 32 compact installed. I’ve noticed that when the heating is on the pump seems to run intermittently, rather than constant. Is this normal for these boilers? It hums for a few seconds, then stops for a few, hums for a few, stops for a few and so on. I...

There are no trickle vents, seemed silly to have them on acoustic windows! I don’t think there was any expanding foam used. I know the frames were quite a good fit, so they probably thought they wouldn’t need any. Should they have used it anyway, even if there’s not much gap around the edges...

I haven’t paid yet, they were only fitted today. No I have no pictures, I tried to take some of the scratches, but clear as they are to the naked eye, they’re hard to get on camera, especially with the rain on the outside. I will try again tomorrow hopefully it will be dry!

Just bought a house, have stripped a LOT of wallpaper, most of which has all this white stuff behind. Is this dried up paste? It's kind of powdery, you can sand it off but there's a whole house to do so I'm wondering if I can paint over it. If not is there a better/quicker way to remove it than...
