Thanks for the reply - ive got no cavity walls or insulation. Windows are double glaze but due for a change! The mould is appearing around the side of the windows and appearing on the inside of the external wall. Would fitting a brick vent from outside at the top help with the problem? Or...

Hi all, Happy new year to everyone - not sure if this is in the correct section of the forum. Basically, every morning my front bedroom windows are drenched with water dripping inside & have noticed over some period of time that some black stuff like damp around the side of the sills on...

Ive only tested it for surface water by pouring watering down the rain gutter. I have looked at the site which you provided me with. Its full of information but its not clear to what i should fill the 'soakaway' with? Regards Jal.

I've just lifted the cover up from the man hole, it looks like the house rain pipes go down it, the only problem is the depth is not deep enough, so i'm definately going to have a problem connecting the drainage channels to it! I can't see any other way to connect the channel drains! below...

Sorry to bring this post up again, what was your solution to this drainage channelling? Im in the same boat at the moment. Regards Jal

I was going to have the channel drain across the bottom of the drive anyway, but it comes back to where will the rain water go from the channel? as to running it into a suitable soak away, how would i achieve that? I do apologise for these newbie/daft questions. Please see the below link to...

I'm block paving the front of my house, the regulations were changed in 2008 for front block paving and should have rain drainage? The area i will be doing is 25sqmetre.

Last thing i want to do is anything illegally, yes it is my first time with this project which is why i'm asking for advice on here.

This is what i'm confused with, not sure how i will fit the drain channels on the block pave. :?

Do you mean i can take off 3 layers of the bricks? What would the best way be to drill a hole in the bricks to get the drainage connected for the block paving? regards Jal

Hi Again, Another newbie question! Are there any regulations to 'trimming' down the man hole? The following link shows how it is at the moment. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/5/manhole.jpg/ Many thanks. Regards Jal.

Thanks for that, seems very useful.

Well said

It was a fellow neighbours opinion, i didnt think it would be any problems at all which is why i asked the question here to get suggestions. My other question is whats the best way to link the drain channels to the man hole as it is slightly higher up? Thanks

HA! good one. But on a serious note, is there any problems by the looks of the picture, i know you can't make judgements by looking at a picture. Also can anyone tell me how low can i digg from the ventilation block for the sub floor, as i don't really want a high slope if you get me...

Hi All, I need to some advice or suggestions. Basically I'm planning to block pave the front of the house. As my house is a end terraced house and is slightly high up, so i'm going to have it as a slope. I've been told by a fellow neighbour that if i digg from the top off the house (See...

I'll try the 'pressure balance valve' as a last resort. Would adjusting the 'restrictor flow screw' on the diverter valve make any difference? Regards Jal.

I've just checked the boilers manual book that was supplied by the previous owner, its a Sime Halstead Combi 30/90 boiler. CH output between 9.7kw and 23.4kw, HW outputs between 8.79kw and 26.4kw. Hope that helps.

I have to check the kw. the combi boiler was already fitted in the house that I purchased recently & noticed the problem with the hot water flow.
