Had the boiler (Glowworm hideaway 70) serviced about 2 months ago. The plumber was concerned that it was sitting in a sizeable amount of water which wasn't coming from the boiler (we had problems with flooding, leaking etc from the roof). Dried out the water and everything seemed ok...this...

Ok...spent most of last night either consumed alternatively by anger and by dismay. As mentioned here http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=468836#468836 had some problems and replaced the gutters. Everything fine and dry in the cellar...got back last night in some horrendous weather...

Yep..just searched for them....hmmmm...ok...amend that to use normal insulation - still undecided about ripping off the old stuff though.

Just finishing the basement kitchen in our victorian terrace and now want to move to completing the rest of the basement conversion. We're planning on turning the front basement into a laundry/scullery and the next room (corridor type room) into a bathroom. The plan is to have the...

Update: apparently there was blockage between the drain from the downpipe to the inspection gulley. Waterboard came out and fixed it! Had some rain over the past few weeks and fingers crossed it all looks good so far. Very satisfied with Yorkshire water - very friendly, helpful, came when...

Thanks will try that Note: odd that this has been moved to roofing and guttering - did think about posting it there...but its now a drains issue..isn't it?

Replaced our damaged gutters and downspouts - but now we appear to have a problem with flooding in our basement . We've had this problem before...but seems much worse now. Just looked at the downpipe and it leads into a ceramic pipe (a drain I assume) but its got standing water in it so...

Ok - got the plumber to balance the system. New radiator all nice and warm...however, a number of the radiators on the ground and second floor (but not the basement) are making a racket when the boiler is on. Radiators and hot water is boiling hot (scarily so). We've turned down the boiler...

Had a new energy efficient radiator installed a week or so ago. Due to still working on the room (main bedroom) laying floor etc we've not switched it on until this cold snap. It just got lukewarm so called out the original plumber who checked all the pipes in and out and the radiator/TRV and...
