I am seeking to replace my external aluminium French doors. Once the existing door and frame are removed, the opening dimensions will be: - Height: 2050mm - Width: 1300mm I’ve had difficulty finding a company that offers composite French doors suitable for a narrow opening. After finally...

Have ordered a full unit. Will try changing the powerhead firstly and see how that goes. Many thanks

Will changing powerhead sort this or would the whole valve need replacing?

Is it the motor that goes faulty? I see the motors are easily available on amazon, seems simple install as replacing the valve will need the system to be drained.

It is a honeywell v4043h1056 I have two. Another which controls a pool heat exchange. On that one I can feel the spring load when I pull back on the little lever. On the CH valvle this little level has no resistance at all.

Hive is set to off, the controller next to the boiler is also not receiving any commands to tell the boiler to heat up the radiators. Radiators are boiling hot. On the boiler the heating symbol is on permanent with the flame sign. Usually the anti frost will kick in during the night (boiler...

Both are primed and undercoated from factory. Under coat finish is white. Finish I am planning to do is eggshell black (water based). Would I need to do a grey undercoat before I paint black? I have a can of Johnson primer/undercoat in grey. Can I use this over the existing undercoat? Or...

I have been told that the horizontal flue for this model has been discontinued. Any one know if another part number would work for this boiler? GC number is 47-044-29

My original post detailed me having the service void within the space of the rafters. That was before understanding I would need a VCL under the rafters.

Even though its only 2"' I don't want to lose any more height off the ceiling.

Would it be possible to allow for more slack in the VCL around the spotlight areas? This would prevent it from being disturbed during the installation of the spotlights. If I secure the VCL tightly against the rafters, I'll need to cut into it when installing the lights.

Emailed celotex earlier and they confirmed leaving 50mm gap between insualtion and plasterboard is not an issue. They did point out i need the VCL . So..   220 Rafters 50mm air gap (below the roof membrane) - 120mm rigid board insulation - 50mm gap/service void - VCL over the rafters -...

Are you referring to insulated plasterboard to address cold bridging? I spoke with my building officer regarding this matter. Since the rafters are quite substantial at 220mm, he has agreed that if I increase the insulation in between the rafters from 100mm to 120mm, I can then install standard...
