Im really sturglgling to make sense of this but I will try wise people on this forum who have always had a lot of enthusiasm - The flow pipe is piping hot but the return is stone cold even though the hot water cylinder has the immersion switched on so should not be drawing too much heat from...

What therefore can you suggest for the addition of a new radiator onto the system ? Turn up pump speed ?

Good morning - I have a one pipe system and taught myself quite a bit about it including facing problems with adding a new radiator Can I ask What size pipework do you have in the system and to the radiators What boiler do you have What size pump do you have Is it an open vented heating and...

This forum explains the perfect academic answer but fails to realise most trandesmen even those professional and reassuringly expensive are lazy, don’t keep up with changes or just make a mess

Thank you. This forum is full of knowledge. I tried my best to learn about roofs before I supervised the project being done but it’s not so straight forward and a lot of details The only comfort I have is that there are a lot of roofers who are just useless. The job I have done is not...

headlap is 50mm and its london so sheltered location. I want to understand scientifically what is wrong with this So far three issues have been raised 1) Headlap? - Seems fine at 50mm - The tiles were predrilled so would have had to drill new holes 2) Top of tile not on batten - True but he...

Maybe i am fussy but I am not happy with the pointing down when the roof went on? 1) Am I being difficult or is this crap? 2) Can it be made neater or do I have to put a fascia on top? This roof cost a lot of money and I dont want to do it again

Thank you 1) So on the verge there are two tiles not one and a half. I don’t think that’s terrible? 2) soakers were used on every tile against the wall 3) there was no building regs as this is like for like replacement. They worked real hard and I don’t want to be a trouble maker. They...

Yes I did. I used a team who I have known for years. They have done loads of work in the past and to a good standard. It’s my first time doing a roof and I don’t want to touch it for 30 years Does it need redoing or is it acceptable The previous slate roof was also lapped like this...

I put a video of it here

Just how bad will it be if the top of the tile does not sit on the wood batten I can see a bit of play if I try and lift the tiles at the moment which I am very worried about Am I being a moaner or is this ****

oh my goodness. That’s why there is lift on the tiles. ****
