Thanks. The wall is solid. I know, I've tried drilling through it! it is a 4in thick block with stone cladding. The floor is solid as well.

I have got a lean-to conservatory on one side of the house. There are a couple of water leaks from where it joins to the wall it has been installed against. I suppose the easiest repair is to get some crawling boards onto the roof and reseal between conservatory and roof. It is about 5m long...

All rads seem to be full of water. All rads closed except the three cold ones in the living room, One of the mas come on good and hot. The other has a warm feed pipe to the isolating valve, the third is still stone cold.
