Hi guys, I've converted my side garage into a room a 2 years ago and it has a suspended floor which had a very shallow crawl space. Total dept is approx only 300mm. 6 inch joist and ply on top. I did put chicken wire and normal loft insulation but the floor is still freezing cold I'm thinking...

Hi, I'm planning on building a lean to conservatory, I want to make side walls to be solid as there is no way i can do any maintenance if i were to use glass. As for the roof it would be a solid cold deck roof with 2 skylights. The front would have dwarf walls up to 600mm and the rest glass. I...

Hey guys, Just had a gas engineer go round to one of my properties to carry out an annual CP12 Dude just went ahead and carry out a repair on a diverter valve saying it's faulty and charged 95. Comments were - motor cogs wearing and could cause boiler to stick on heating / hotwater mode if not...

Any ideas how these concreate roof a likely to be formed, as in poured to make one big slab or are they slotted slabs? Just wanted to know what tools would be required to remove this? Thanks

Concreate has cracked and is leaking so i thought its best to get rid of this and go in with a cold deck and have it insulated. Okay so i would need to lift the white facia and tack a lead flashing there?

Hi, Planning on removing an old concreate flat roof and will be replacing it with a timber joist cold deck. Wanted some advice how to finish this off on the neighbors side as they have pitched roof and the side has just been cladded. Any suggestions would be appreciated Thanks

Yes was thinking of painting it first and see if its possible to make a water tight using some kind of sealer, but if its not going ot last more that 10 years then i guess it best using something else.

Hello guys, I'm planning on making a shed using 4x2 timber and look at options as to what to cover this with. Shiplap cladding is quite pricey so was looking at OSB3 sheets, not sure if there is a good way to fully water proof this? Any thoughts on this or other recommendations ? Thanks!

If its a component issues can it be intermittent? also would it take out all controls... the only 2 things I have going on/off is hot water and heating... in the morning there is an overlap between the two.

Yep i've got one.. only ever used it for basic continuity. you could be correct about the neutral.. after several on/off its back... Sorry what you you mean about the neon bit? maybe when its drawing current something is going on...

Just tested live to the junction box n boiler using a tester screwdriver which was live... Strange that it happens in the mornings... If the over heat stat in a unvented was to kick in would it trip out everything? Shouldn't do unless it's wired incorrectly? Thanks

Hey guys, Today everything just cut off and I'm not getting any power to the boiler heatmiser UH8 or any of the neo stats...I've tested that I've got live coming into the junction box... can't seem to get it going anymore... Any suggestions on what I can test...

I've currently got a 10way honeywell... its being shorted somewhere (I think) but strangely it's not consistently and struggling to find out what's causing it... everything connected to the junction box would die..the CU is RCD protected but doesn't trip.. switching off the fuse spur on/of makes...
