Thanks for the reply. Is it easy to check if it a restricted flow problem?. I'll update the title too.

To my knowledge they have never been changed. Where are they located?

I wonder if anyone can point me in the direction to try and fix the following. In a nutshell the pin in the divertor valve is sticking - see location in image below. (that's what I can decipher anyway). When I run hot water the pin sticks out. It remains in this position and the heating...

Thanks for the reply. I can try and get some more pics, but was more wondering what the best way to re-render this gable was. See my comments below.

The render on my gable end is causing all kinds of issues in the house with penetrating damp - it's coming in around 4 places. I asked the neighbour if I could look out of his attic loft to see the damage and it is obvious that it is cracked everywhere and will need redoing - the previous owner...

That's the problem. With it being pre 1984 it doesn't have any building regulation certificates. But I assume this would mean that it's no different from buying a house that had an extension built in the 1930's that had no regulation certs as well?

Thanks for replies. :-)
