    Freezing condensate

    Replied to your messages but they didn't appear here... Yes, it is condensate. A small copper pipe used to be the - rarely used - overflow pipes for standard boilers. Now the pipe drips water all the time the various boilers are on. Hadn't thought it was corrosive. All the more...

    Freezing condensate

    Cor this looks interesting. But I can't read it - the print is too small. If I enlarge it, is disolves into a blur. Can you tell me where i can see the original? Or could you email me a copy? Thanks in advance

    Freezing condensate

    Yes, it is condensate - from the little copper overflow pipe. (The flue's huf and puf and drop some water, but it's not much of a problem.) It always was an overflow pipe, but (of course) it was seldom used. Now, the one pipe that feeds 6 boilers (in flats in the flors above) and condensate...

    Freezing condensate

    Hello I live in a block of (privately owned) 20 year old flats. As the central heating boilers are being replaced, new, condensing boilers are being fitted. (All the boilers are different - as chosen by the owners. All are installed by different plumbers.) They all discharge their...

    Porous garage roof

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had thought of roofing felt - onto of flake board if i wanted to keep it cheap. However, one reason for wanting a 'quick fix' was the hard work of getting the old roof off - and fitting a new one. My garage is 19ft long and 13 ft wide. The roof frame is...

    Porous garage roof

    First of all, thanks for your replies and thoughts. I'll certainly look into SBR primer. I've never heard of it before. Yes, I know about crawling boards. But some of the possible replacement roof panels won't allow you to even use crawling boards. They are simply not strong enough...

    Porous garage roof

    This is my first post - so be gentle with me... I have a pre-cast concrete garage with a 'fibre & cement' roof. (It's the modern equivalent to the old style asbestos roof.) It's 14 years old, and the roof has become porous. In heavy or persistent rain the underside become damp. Mould has...
