Ah, I should have probably said, there's a shower on the other side of the wall to the left of the boiler. Maybe that can explain some of the more complicated pipework. I'll be removing all this stuff in the near future and going for a combi boiler but I think the previous owner did all of...

Over the weekend, I drained our central heating, removed a radiator (that had previously been closed off), and refilled. Since then, our hot water gets nowhere near the temperature it used to. (too cold to shower comfortably). We have pumped central heating, and a gravity fed hot water...

Oh, sorry. That's not the outer wall. The one with the chimney on is one of the inner ones. I don't think I'd have had the balls to take the outer skin down to 100mm :) Do we think I'll be OK with gypsum on the exterior walls? I have to go buy it all tomorrow, as it's double bank holiday...

Yeah, it's possibly for the best :D Cheers for your patience.

Ha. No grinder :) I used a bolster, but they were quite brittle and didn't split very well. I previously thought I could just fill the void with plaster or render (possibly a few layers ;)) so I wasn't worred they were uneven. Maybe battens and a piece of plasterboard are the way forward...

Hmm. Thankyou. That seems easier. I'll do that. Any advice as to whether to use lime or gypsum plaster on the external walls, and what to do about the "blown"(?) plaster?

Cheers for the reply. I think I've exaggerated the depth of the void. In places it gets to near 100mm, but it gets thinner at the top, down to about 30mm. I could do a bit of blockwork, but most of it is too thin. Is there anything else I can do? Something with plasterboard? :?

We have a 1st floor bedroom at the back of the house which I'm looking to re-plaster over the jubilee weekend. The room has two external walls, and two internal walls. The house is from 1902, and all the walls are solid walls, not cavity. I'll also be re-plastering the ceiling. We've...

Why the rolly eyes? :? I haven't looked at which specific boiler just yet, and I said if they were the right boiler for other reasons, then I'd be considering them.
