Hi, They are 3 roughly parallel cracks, all more or less horiztonal. I will try and attach a picture tonight. Cheers Stephen

Hi there, After searching through various posts I still can't seem to decide if I should be worried about some cracks in newly applied plaster. We had the old plaster removed due to penetrative damp (should be fixed!) and then new plaster put back on. After about 2 weeks a crack appear...

Well I read the forums and the general opinion as far as I can tell is rising damp does exist ;-) Anyway, my place is a 1900-1930 terrace house in SW London. Converted to two flats I am on the ground floor. Construction is brick. Next to the bedroom window where the damp is there does not...

Hi there, we have the above mentioned combi and the hot water pressure is woeful, the cold mains is great. We recently had our shower thermostat replaced and upon experiencing this pressure the plumber suggested an external pump. So I did some searches on this site but cannot tell if you...

Hi there, Great forum. We have a gas combi boiler and the hot water pressure out of it is dismal. The cold water pressure is great but you cannot run two taps with hot water on. Heating is fine. I am only looking for "potential" causes here, and I am wondering if having the...
