    Glow worm compact 100e combi - Hot water / boiler trip probs

    Checked the temps on the hot water o/p and it is fluctuating. The shower unit was compensating so it was not easily felt. Not an ignition prob as boiler is alight and runs until it cuts out after 10 mins or so in the shower. Leads me to think its the secondary heat exchanger again. I took...

The place is a 70's build with little character... just a plain oblong build where you have to walk through one room to get to the next etc. In order for my family to move in we need to add a couple of bedrooms...

    insurance advice

    Was it a full survey or just a mortgage company look and value? If a full survey and the insurance will not pay out I would not be too happy with the surveyor and give them some stick. Not sure if there is a liability on them tho but you are paying them to check things such as this on your...

    Had the floor up today and it is as i thought...... wind blowing through the extension roof space into the house! My idea is to spray expanding roam into the ceiling void of the extension where it ties into the house to seal it up. This would fill the gaps between each set of joists above the...
