On full lock or near it and on both sides the steering clicked and creaked. This has now gone. So the axel’s were replaced both sides. But I am getting a slightly different sound and I was thinking it is down to the tracking 2015 Citroen berlingo 1,6 van

The front axles left and right were replaced plus the collars which are rubber Citroen berlingo 1.6l van

The front left and right axles have been changed on my van. I get a little stiffness when I turn the wheel more sharply. Does this mean I now need the tracking resetting? It wasn’t reset by the mobile mechanic who did it.

I am removing the old victorian pots on a chimney and replacing with basic gas terminals as none are actually working chimneys. I am also repointing the chimney using NHL5 lime and sand. I want to use cement to flaunch using a 3:1 mix. But will I be ok adding some lime into this mix to help...

Do you mean risk from CO poisoning? There are 40 deaths per yr on average in the U.K. Walking in central London puts you in more danger

my 17 yo valiant eco max plus is loosing pressure. Over 10 days it drops from 1.5 to 0.8 bar. There is no water leak in the boiler currently. In December there was a leak under the boiler around the condensate outlet. The prv is not being activated The EV is new a year ago and pressured...

Looks like the system has made two posts. So this is the duplicate. It can be deleted.

I think the top needs replacing (flaunching). So the pots will have to come off, but I think it will be easier to replace with breathing vents. We are getting water into one flats chimney plus the bottom flat has water also. I thought £50 for raking and repointing.

No £700 one stack and £400 the other. Just repointing and raking out.

I get that but can people not just say how much if the top needs to come off one of them and be redone ? £2k per chimney from a Londoner. So much less for Yorkshire. I personally think £400 and £700 is a fair price for the two.

Ok, but you are in London. This is Yorkshire, so I imagine it will be half that for up here. So £1k each. I have roughly measured the area on each chimney for pointing though. I get 4 sqm and 9 sqm. So if it was per sqm at £50 it would be £200 and £450. I can see that those costs are too...

It's tall but the scaffolding will all be up. You must be old then, but there will be lots of younger teams happy to do it. So any idea on cost for these chimneys if on a normal semi ? I just need to get an idea on prices so the management company can't rip us off.

We have sorted scaffolding on an older block of flats to redo the gutter and facias. We also want 2 chimney stacks repointing. One also needs the chimney tops taking off and replacing with breathing cowls. Any idea on the cost ? These are the details: !870 building in Yorkshire Stack one...

I know the far end of the flashing there is a section of pointing broken off. I also got this photo. It’s my neighbours end though. I will need to ask him if he has an issue

I did this today as didn’t have any slates. I will see if the issue dries out. I suppose if not it may be the flaunching. Will need to speak to the neighbours

Where my tape measure is corresponds to the leak inside. I have a pic of the recent insulation install and you can see the leak in the top left by the purlin beam. The lead work was new 10 yrs ago and no problems until this summer. Only had time to get up and look recently.

I have a chimney breast which is damp inside in the top bedroom. It’s on the party wall and in the middle of the chimney breast. I went out of the roof window and the lead apron and flashing are all good (all new install about 10 yrs ago for leadwork). In line with the leak at the top of the...

Ok I thought I might use a machine triangle piece of length that you can get in the timber merchant. Prob only need 30cm worth, but that 20x20mm size will be enough to divert the water away from the edge and into the outlet. Glue it down to the fibre glass with stixall then cover it in bandage...

Ok thanks will give it a go
