Hi Madrab, I will try your suggestion and update on here. The water looks clean through the flow valve, I get the boiler serviced every year and inhibitor is added. Unfortunately there was a period of a few months where there wasn't enough inhibotor in the system as a plumber changed one of my...

Thanks Rodders53. I checked the auto air vent and it was open so that looks fine and I also do not see any bubbles in the flow meters. I did notice that the circuits were not "balanced" and the flow rate (4L / min) was the same for zones 1 and 3, even though zone 1 is just a small study while...

Hi all, I have a 3 zone wet underfloor heating system and I started to use it over the past few days after the summer. I've noticed that when the heating is on I can hear what I assume is water running through the pipes in the area where it's on (it's not near the boiler or the manifold) so...

Thanks. I’m thinking about chopping out a section around the damage to see if the damage goes all the way through to the bottom etc. and refilling with 2-part filler. In your opion as a decorator is this more of a long term fix for a decorator, window fitter or general builder? Thanks

I’ll try to get it moved . I did think about posting there originally but all topics I checked seemed more window related and not general.

Hi, I have a 5 pane bay window in a bedroom and the MDF window board under one of the panes is showing signs of water damage below the centre (roughly) of the pane. The edges (up against the wall on one side and the next pane on the other) seem ok so far. Is there any way to figure out if...

Hi, I know this thread is quite old but just wondering if the original poster sees this could they update on the outcome of this as I’m having a similar problem with my Solidor installation. Thanks

Hi thanks for this reply. It came in as I was typing my last reply so I will check these out. Do I have to go to a diagnostics screen to see the s codes? Thanks

Thanks for your replies Let me add a bit more detail to maybe help. It’s 4 bedrooms. One rad per bedroom and a living room with 2 rads. The house is approx 1700 sq feet (160 sq m) in total and the uderfloor heating is 2 zones over approx 600 sq ft (55 sqm). Previously a Vaillant engineer...

Hi, I have a Vaillant EcoTEC Plus 637 in my house which has 4 beds and a living room with 6 rads total. I also have underfloor heating running off the boiler and hot water in an unvented system. My issue is that when the room stat for the radiators calls for heat the boiler fires but never...

Hi, I have a 2 storey 1930s house with bay windows. Above ground floor level the external walls are single skin so while I had some floor boards up in front of upstairs bay window recently I noticed a large empty void below the joists down as far as the ceiling of the downstairs bay. So...

Hi the princeofdarkness, thanks for your reply. In the mean time is there any way I should seal up the hairline even with clear silicone or something? I'd be surprised if there is movement thought as the foundataions are 1m deep and only a few bricks are affected. Also, it's a single...

Hi, Rlughly 6 months ago I had a new section of wall on my house built with red brick. I noticed during the week that the mortar around some of the bricks is not "sealed" as the rest of them. I've included a photo of one of the bricks. Should I be somehow sealing around these bricks in...
