I have had this suggestion previously... Where exactly would you install a PG or multiple PG's? To me it's another point that could leak but I see the fault finding benefit.

Yes it was.

Yes this was completed even though it's non existent. It is my intention to try and feel what might be causing this when reproducing it. However, it doesn't happen every time. It is sporadic. The previous Caleffe block was replaced due to this and a genuine Baxi part was fitted but the issue...

Did you guys ever solve this??? I have similar myself.

Hi, I have an issue and it is somewhat intermittent whereby when hot water is drawn from my UV Megaflo, it makes a very loud vibration. The pipes can be seen moving slightly when this happens if you zoom on the video. The external EV has been checked and it's set to 3 bar. Previously it was 1...

Did you solve this? I have very similar as per: https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/topic...ot-tap-opened-first-time-after-heating-cycle/ and https://www.plumberstalk.net/threads/megaflo-uvc-very-loud-noise-when-hot-tap-opened.133709/

Thanks folks... Yes I appreciate minimum distances would depend on materials. The idea about plugging the existing hole and driving a countersunk screw in is a good idea... I ended up going 5cm above and 2cm to the right of the original hole and have since filled it. Hopefully it will be OK...

Hi all, Today, I had a go at being a little practical / hands on myself and put up some Ben Simpson floating shelves... I had my Dad help me but I did make a fundamental error with the second shelf... I got the measurement 2cm out and ended up with 2 shelves that were not aligned with each...

Thanks... shame it wasn't done this way in the first place!

Thanks... Is this more of a cosmetic thing rather than a potential for water ingress?

Hi, I was wondering if the way in which these tiles are sitting can be considered normal / OK? It is a house we have lived in for a year and I am certainly not a roof expert but I would expect them to lay flat. I know the bottom couple of courses of the valley needs re-pointing and it's on the...

Thanks... My biggest concern was perhaps the sawdust being very easy to catch alight... Can always hover up the worst after but the dust may find it's way into other spaces. We have down lights with guards so unless dust gets behind those somehow should be fine.

Hi Folks, Out of interest, if you were to board out your loft with joists and OSB boards, would you measure and cut everything inside or outside the loft. I've heard a few different views on this. It's more practical to cut boards / joists etc once in the loft space but of course this leaves...

Hi Folks, Might sound a bit strange but I am planning on replacing a section of drain channel on my block paved drive as it's snapped on the edge. I suspect something has hit it at some stage. Should these just pull up vertically? Do I run the risk of upsetting the block pavers around it...
