Spoke with BCO today with info provided from here, and he now states non required for the facing brickwork, but i still need to insert for internal blockwork. Should hopefully be straightforward by cutting out a stip from the plasterboard/blockwork. Tips would help. Cheers

Facing brick external and blockwork internal

I must admit, after much googling, i couldn't see any relevance to 6m.

sorry internal blockwork

The house is already built, but BCO has requested retrospective movement joints at 6m runs before signing off. Its gonna be a bugger to cut in and stich to internal brickwork. Is he being overzealous as it appears the consensus is that it may not be needed.

Red line to indicate proposed expansion joint, repeated on opposite flank

Can any just confirm re expansion joints in brickwork for a house. Im aware of 6m runs, but need confirmation of minimum distance from a corner. The house is 9.15m long of which 3.25m is only single storey (5.9m double storey). The expansion joint therefore can be placed in the single...

A sleeve is only a sleeve if it passes right through the wall, and sealed internally in this case

Some parts are tidy, yet others are shocking. Condensate should be insulated outside or larger bore. Might see the sleeve inside, but gas run doesn't look sleeved externally. Pointing is shocking. He doesn't need to be a brickie to know the basics of a tidy finish and pride in his work...

Overheat code / lockout im sure Trapped air in system/pump?

Cooker ovens - light oven on high, will start flame on low rate and will gradually increase. Confirms liquid exp valve (fsd) is working. If goes straight to full flame, then bellows are jammed open and deemed as at risk. Turn off gas from oven control knob. Relight after 1 min and flame...

Wootton, but not doing anything local. Our family business of property portfolio/auction properties are in/around London, so im there for 4 days in the week. Only did the gas after too many yrs of getting other rgi's in and/or working alongside when refurbing the properties. Starting next...

To the other rgi's Do you do/own your own power flushing or got a contract with a mate/company each time you need it? Got a contract whereby one instal every couple of months so weighing up options of whether to buy. Never used one in anger before, only seen others do it. Rest of work...

With a new pipe run that has been pipe sized (granted 28mm should be plenty sufficient) im on the understanding no more than 1mbar pressure loss to boiler with other appliances in operation

Combo crew van. Brilliant van. 2 side loading doors, proper rears seats, rear seats fold flat so a normal van. Add a roof rack and tow bar and a perfect alrounder. Can even pick the kids up from school some days, and brilliant for dropping family of at airports with all their luggage!

I'll take the TRV off from the dining radiator at locate the thermostat there.

Dangermouse, sorry ive drawn the plan wrong. The bottom of the stairs terminates in the lobby, then door into lounge
