    cost to add in central heating upstairs

    That really is a piece of string question and unlikely to get a ball park figure except for something ridiculous like £20k. Don’t assume anything and obtain at least 3 quotes. Boiler might be old but working.

    Agreed, copper is proper :wink:

    Annoying drip on gutter

    Looks like there's a hopper head - can you disconnect it from that? Then buy some downspout and an offset, maybe 2 if you need one the other end

    No, just wanted some clarity from other members. I'll say now anyway, it was IanMcd.

    IanMcd - a regular very well respected and helpful poster on here regarding heating and boilers. Will be sadly missed. @stem - thought you may want to know.

    A missing friend

    I think Conny passed away, I mentioned him on another thread a while ago, and I’m sure someone confirmed it. Edit, yes he did: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/on-line-gambling.589879/page-5#post-6157208

    Does waste stack boxing in contain asbestos?

    Hard to tell just from pictures and only way to know 100% is get it tested. Looks like plasterboard imo. I don’t think they used AIB unless flatted block perhaps, but could have used Superlux/asbestolux - some people believe this contained asbestos.

    Open vented CH - 2 port valve actuator replaced, now boiler overheating and pump noisy.

    Ok. You should have got a tiny trickle at least. Try spinning it counter clockwise with a small flat bladed screwdriver. Probably coincidence that it’s failed. That or you’ve run it dry.

    Open vented CH - 2 port valve actuator replaced, now boiler overheating and pump noisy.

    It should have been done at rest after refilling and before any running. Try it both ways.
