No sorry. I thought id confused things as the picture is upside down. So the part that ive circled actually screw up onto the threaded bit that comes out of the boiler.its this joint that is leaking

Green circle shows where leak is coming from. This is where it conects onto the thread that prodrudes from under boiler

Checked and nothing in the filling loop. Wonder if it was never fitted with one. Found this pic which is nearest i can find and it shows 2 washes and an olive so obviuosly all 3 conections must require a seal

Directly above it is the dhw flow turbine which has a mesh so it wouldnt get through but no sign of owt on the mesh ?

Thanks for the replies. When i push the nut down i can see the top of the inner part and its just metal definately no remnants of any washer

Hi all I have tried to remove a small area of ceiling to access my shower trap. I drilled through the plaster board but then the drill went into sonething harder. At first i assumed it was joist but have pulled away a small bit of plaster board to reveal some other type of board behind it. I...

Ok so would this look different to the picture of my neighbors. Would the plaster just stop sort of giving a square edge or would it be sort of beveled on the edge

Hi. Ok yes sorry I wasn't ignoring what was originally advised and obviously value any advice. Just not sure how the edge would look if it was finished using wood as an edge to work too. I think my concern was that the brick edge has some variation. In it ie its not perfectly straight and I was...

Thanks for the reply. Im just wanting to know if its possible before i try and get someone in to do the job My neighbour has a similar fireplace and I got a pic of how the plaster was finished around the edge buy wasn't actually sure how it was done

Hi just wanting some advice. I want tk plaster the face of my chimney breast but not into the enclosure so want the plaster to finish on the edge around the opening. I was hoping this could be done without using any kind of beading or stop bead edging but didn't know if it was possible so just...
