Cheers for the quick reply. Just to ensure I have understood correctly; The plasterboard needs a clearance to the flue, but plaster (either finishing or bonding) can touch it. Or is it that as the extra hole makes it easier to fit the flue, the plaster board could be cut to size and sit flush...

Hi, I had a Neta-tec boiler installed a couple of years ago, with a vertical flue though an (accessible) roof void, and the hole in the ceiling was cut a little large. I'm now coming to refit my utility room, and want to make good the ceiling around the flue, but I am a little confused by...

Cheers for the replies. While I was waiting, I fitted the shower and tried it out anyway. It works ok, better than a mixer tap, but the modulation between hot and cold could be better. To answer a couple of questions... I think the difference in pressures is because I am right on the water...

I'm currently refitting my bathroom and am fitting a Triton Thames Thermostatic shower, on a combi boiler system. Will I need to fit an valve, or will the mixer take care of it? I know the pressures are not even, but I'm wondering how much unevenness matters? Should I commission the shower...

Cheers for the reply alistair. I take it you mean a couple of brackets along the front section (ie where it runs under the hip roof)? I'm guessing the idea is that if the gutter is retained better along the front it will twist less, and therefore flap less? Most anoying thing is that it...

Hi, I have half hips on both ends of my property and the gutters return on to the main section of roof. However, when it is windy (as it is tonight!) the returning portion of guttering flaps around and bangs on the roof. Any idea's on how I can stop this? How long should the returns be...

Cheers for that, it's a good point about the junction box. I'll have a look at moving it. And wrt the iron, apolgies for scrimping on the detail.... It's a Tefal Azur 50! :lol: With regards to fitting a pump, is it essential to fit a No stop Essex flange to the cylinder? There seems to...

Thanks for the quick an honest replies. I thought the pressure differential was going to be the issue. When I refit the bathroom the plan was always to fit a separate thermostatic mixer shower and then twin taps on the bath, rather than a mixer. I am considering one of these...

Please don't shout at me!! I have done quite a bit of research, but am coming up a little short somewhere! So I'll start at the beginning (it seems a good place to start!).... I bought my house almost 1 year ago exactly, it's my first house. It's a 1990's Bloor Home. One of the first jobs...
