Thanksfor all the replies. I will allow some ventilation. Regards Alan

Currently the chimney pot has a China-man's type guard on the top. I have no plans this year to do anything with the chimney. As I live in a bungalow, I may start at the top and have the stack and chimney brick work in the loft removed followed by the bit in the kitchen to give more space!

I have read many comments on the Forum which say, let air flow up the flue to prevent dampness. I am removing my old central heating boiler. What is left behind will be a 5" flue liner surrounded by vermiculite. (The already opened up fire place will be an ideal place for the new fridge)...

Last year I tiled my bathroom floor with disastrous results, with the adheshive going off too quick for me (15 mins!) and the waterproof grout not coming off cleanly from the rough tile surface. I want to lay tiles on my kitchen screed floor later in the year with similar tiles. As I am a...

Thanks, I will keep you posted on the final outcome. Alan

Hi, I am now away from home, so I can give no comments, but can get brother to check out any instructions! Basically, the water flow still comes out from the bottum outlet. As soon as this was noticed it was switched off immediately! Are you saying that heated water will exit at the...

Hi, Thanks for your advice. Not sure what caused it, but earlier in the week the water coming out turned white!! Not sure if it came from the water supply pipes or a defective part inside the heater. Thanks Alan

Hi, Suddenly water has started pouring out of the vent/overflow plastic pipe. I sure this fault will be well documented and have a simple part exchange, I hope!! I have looked at Tritons web page but not sure which part could be defective? Has anyone any ideas please, as a new shower...

The reason for fitting the stat etc, was to have some control over the heat when the place was being used by my family at weekends or in winter. Otherwise it would run too hot when not required to! Is there an alternative to the standard room stat on the market, whereby it can be set at, say...

The current system fitted is very early simple gravity system type with only a pump in the central heating circuit, with no stats or programmer fitted.... The system is piped to a 4 pipe Trianco oil boiler. Basically, what I want to do is fit a Programmer and Room Stat to the system without...

Hi, Not sure which Forum this question should go in! Looking at the wiring installed in my Y Plan heating system junction box, I notice there are lots of the same colour wires used which are black with red tags and faint number marking. Is there a better choice of multicore colours cable...

Thanks for that 'Namsag.' I have JUST found a Honeywell instruction on what has to be carried out. On the programmer they also mention linking the LIVE to CH ON terminals. Will this be necessary on my Danfoss FP715 Programmer? Regards Alan

Currently I have fitted to control the house heating a Honeywell T6360B manual room stat fitted in Y Plan system. To give the house some frost protection during the night I am thinking of fitting a Honeywell CM61 Programmable Thermostat which has frost switching. Regarding the wiring...

Richard C, Not sure how to take your reply! I read the all comments posted, they were informative. Now I am thinking it over about what to do. Thus the thankyou. Rather than leaving the topic open ended! Regards Alan

Thanks guys for the information on oil pipes. Regards

One tip! Although I can't answer the problem, please be aware when purchasing the waste pipe, as it differs slightly depending on whether you are fitting sliding joints or the glued type! Suggest taking the joint with you, then you can double check!

I want to have my oil boiler resited in my house. The oil supply pipe, tank to boiler was fitted 30 yrs ago and is part buried and is also clipped to the house where it runs above the concrete path. What are current Regs regarding the burying the pipe and or clipping the pipe to the...

Hi, Not sure this photo will show? This WC has the dimensions which would fit your situation. The make is 'Laufen' 'Modern' and is German but sold in UK. It is a bit expensive. But what the heck, better than cost of moving a pipe or having a crappy looking bathroom. There is an...
