Many thanks mointainwalker. The plasterboard with foil is on both sides, in the bathroom and the hall. I'll have a look about sheet insulation or leave the boards off in the hall until the new doors are up.

The studded wall is for the divider between the bathroom and hall. The condensation is on the hall side. Insults aside, I used what I could get my hands on. I suppose it could be the cool air coming from the gap in the porch door which will be replaced with a upvc double glazed door.

So what would be the best material to use? Insulation Sheets or Rockwool? Will i keep getting the condensation or should i remove it from this area and leave it empty? :?

I have re built the outer studded walls of my bathroom and insulated them. I had to remove a portion of new plasterboard to fit the new electrics and found a couple of areas of the foil backing was wet on the outer wall but the inner was dry. Any ideas or suggestions?? I used new loft...

Water has been dripping behind my fibreglass flat roof. I removed the plasterboards and could see the water dripping in. I removed the lead flashing to the first dry joist which is approx 50 inches from the end of the roof and found roofing felt. I asked around and found that it was...

All I wanted to know what was the best way to do this. I only have so much room. I wanted to be ready and not in the dark so I could discuss ideas with my lecci.

Hi All Long time since I was here last and now need some advice. I am moving house soon and on inspection, it will need a new consumer unit and some new wiring. The heating will be provided by 5 Storage Heaters along with the Cooker, Shower, Lighting etc. What type of Unit would be best...

Thanks for that. Got a link from the parts dept at heating parts. Bentone B9 burner, so will order later. Steve

I have a Worcester Heatslave 15/19 combi boiler. Through the forum with a lot of help, the faulty motor was diagnosed. I would like to know how easy it is or hard to fit the new motor. Anything i need to look out for etc. Steve

Went to Heating-Parts and they identified the motor. Is it simple to replace?

Thanks for the info John. Will either try to replace the bearings if I can get them or replace the boiler when it packs up. Might be a bit of a problem getting the bits as it's a discontinued model. Steve

Are there any bearings in a boiler. Mine was quiet for a while and now get a high noise coming from the burner like dry bearings. My boiler is a Worcester Heatslave combi boiler. Any ideas??

I have a Heatslave 15/19 boiler. There is a whinning noise that has appeared when it turns on from the burner area. I was hoping there would be some sort of grease nipple or something similar to lubricate the bearings etc. Heating still works!!! but for how long?? If anyone can put some...

Cheers for that, will do.

Hi I have my bath up to the wall and want to know if I need to leave a 3-5mm gap from the top of the bath to the first row of tiles or just sit the tiles to the edge of the bath? Steve
