Gist of it is to try & make one part of the house as warm as i can. This part is North facing, the hallway is damned cold(nowhere to install any heat source. I have 3 storage cupboards, 2 downstairs & 1 upstairs which have walls on that side. So in my mind, if i could put extra insulation on...

I think i understood what 'foxhole' meant

It's only inside i want to sort out, couldn't go to the expense of doing the outside.

Is it going to be worth it? Would insulating internal side of outside walls(cavity) be advisable? These walls are all in storage cupboards that have outside walls in them, they all link to hallway which is very cold. Would insulating the walls make much difference to these areas, or is there...

Bump

Cheers for replying foxhole so quickly. I'll look into it.

Hi, got a Ideal Logic Combi C30 boiler. Got a whistling/ squealing noise when using boiler, both when running taps & heating on. Doesn't come on straight away thou. Tried to upload a video of it but it's apparently too big for server, I will try again soon...

Apologies for not replying earlier, too much been going on lately. Checked downpipe today & not blocked or running slowly. How would i sort the guttering out in that corner? Many thanks.

Probably hard to see in the photo, but there is a gully there. That's where the paint is cracking & nowhere else. The sealant around the door i painted is okay.

Only where a new door was fitted approximately 4 years ago

Oil based Zinser. No idea about what type of sealant.

Fan

Morning peep's. I painted inside of concrete door step earlier in the week & there is a gully in it & the paint wouldn't dry. I used zinser cover stain first & then a coat of Dulux water based emulsion(was that ok) I googled some answers & one i found was to use a fan. I used it in the...

Just thought it best to get that person back & have a chat about it. As soon as i realised it wasn't fitted properly, i switched it off. Thanks for replying.

Had CO alarm go off last night whilst the heating was on(scared the crap out of us both). Switched off boiler & opened doors to get air flow through. Boiler is Ideal Logic Combi c30, just over 3.5 years old I spoke to my brother (gasafe) who said to check whether the casing had been refitted...

Many thanks for all the replies

Had a flag on front of property for 18 months. Noticed this week the bracket was coming away from the wall, obviously i assume due to strong winds in this area(Cumbria). The hole i drilled for the rawl plugs had got bigger, so they have become loose. The outside wall has a layer of render on it...

One other query, whilst up ladder. Bigger frontage of roof have what it looks like as polystyrene inserts into end's of tiles but on the smaller bit there are none. Any reason why this is? Took a couple of the guttering too. Rightly or wrongly, i raked all the loose stuff out & replaced it...

Got ladder out & got up there. Didn't have phone with me doh, but render on edge under tiles has cracked & bits are missing. Could that be the issue? Taken a couple of pics of other wall with guttering, not got a good camera on phone or i just take poor photos.

Yes there is
