While this house has sadly been badly damaged, the family were able to get out safely after being alerted to the fire. “The smoke alarms have made a huge difference in ensuring this incident wasn’t much more serious for those involved.” The fire started after a reel-style extension lead was...

All seems to be working as it should now, borrowed the legionella temp set from work and it is swinging between 44-47c but the boiler stat setting is on low whereas the old stat was set at 1 1/4 perhaps this is down to the fact i did not put any heat sink compound in the stat pocket. I ran it...

Ian, I understand what you are saying and will take another look tomorrow and update as i am off for the weekend.

It's not the heating that is staying on it is the boiler stat that is not working although it is new' the water just gets hotter and hotter, just tried the room stat and that works

Put heating on tonight with hot water off and back to square one with the burner running constantly and the boiler stat not responding apart from off, 3 port valve is working with it in htg position, what to check next?

Magnet? it would be attracted if it was galvanised or not, do what jd said but i would ignore the magnet bit unless he thinks it may be ally but ally or galvanised it would need a acid etch primer

Make sure the metal is not galvanised as a lot are especially older ones.

HPD, Cheers ordered and that is a job for the weekend.

Thats something i did not consider and Halfrauds are open, Cheers.

Given the current situation with cv19 i have put off getting the front door replaced but need to find a filler for the jamb that is rotting where it goes into the hardwood cill, At a guess it is rotten to about a 1/2 or a 1/3 of it's depth,i have seen recommendations on here but cannot find them.

1960s ex council house and the front room walls were filled as much as yours although had been sanded back but still had emulsion on in places, gave it a couple of coats of diluted matt emulsion as it was bare plaster mostly and sized the wall and put 1800 lining paper up and never looked back...

Did the weeks shopping yesterday as normal but got a little extra pasta/tinned stuff but went to look for hand sanitising solution in the toiletries and nothing at all,thought i would get small small bottle to carry at work and out and about as you see some right scummy people about, will have...

Couldn't find out anymore but just a waste of resources if you ask me.
