We now know that we have 3.8 bar mains pressure at the outside tap. Does this sound sufficient to provide enough pressure for a high flow combi? Can anyone also tell me whether or not a thermal store suffers as badly from multiple outlets being open at a time as do combis? AB

What I could really do with is a plumber in our area who can offer us the correct testing, advice and know how to spec what is really required.. We have had a man from the gas board, and 2 independents, both of which came recommended on their past work from a very good friend. Its...

Anyone offer us some advice - we have a plumber on hold from ordering boiler etc..!

Please bear with me for a short while, as I try and explain what's afoot.. My mothers property is a large house, which has currently got a rayburn range doing both heating and hot water. However this unit has 2 problems... 1. it isn't really quite big enough, since the property has been...

Kev, the roof does not connect to the wood at all, its all held down by hooks on to metal cross members between the walls. Seems to me, after closer inspection, that they overlapped the main roofing panels in board in middle of roof too much and they only just meet the inner edge of the...

My garage roof needs some attention - its a flat sloping affair from corrugated asbestos type sheeting. The main roof is fine, however the wooden edging that bridges the gap between roof and concrete walls is shot pretty much all the way round. Currently there is vertical wood as described...

Its all well and good saying open the windows, if your other half isn't constantly closing them again! I cant win I tell you! Everything else I have done, correct insulation, extractor fans used, vented tumble drier used with a good vent run. Andy

Could you elaborate on the terms used in your last message. My carpentry is ok, but my use of it with building is limited, more the small scale stuff up to now. Is that 4m for the peak of a pitched roof? Also what options do I have for getting in to the roof space, or should I write it off...

The increase in height would be to give a bit more room to hang stuff from the joists/horizontals, possibly a whole wooden body from a Morgan.... hence more headroom is a bonus!

OK, well ill when i stuck my fingers over the top of the top tank they get wet pretty much straight away so i think its full to correct level at the moment. I will try the bath experiment when I can. It only happens with bath as we never run that quantity of hot water elsewhere in one go, but...

I bled the radiators so I dont think its that. The trv seems to turn ok, and when i took the top off the needle appears to move in and out by hand. Any other suggestions? Can i pull the needle all the way out? My tank has this small cold bit on top, and then there is the cold tank in the loft...

Hi all, I have a couple of problems in the house I bought recently. In general the heating is fine, and so is the hot water, controls all work, thermostat seems to regulate ok and the radiators heat up and hot water is always available from the cylinder. Boiler is a glow worm energy saver...

Hi all, This is my first post so please be gentle! I have moved to a house with a sectional concrete garage or around 19ft by 9ft, which has a flat roof made from what looks like fiber based corrugated material. It is in ok condition but will prob need repairing in next year. I am...
