    Getting rid of Cellar Dampness

    I am so sorry, I just realised my silly mistake. West should be south and south should be west. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: What a daft git I am :mrgreen:

    Getting rid of Cellar Dampness

    @ endecotp & JohnD - LOL! :ROFLMAO: You guys are funny......Of course I know my compass directions, but I was simply showing which wall corresponded to which direction. @Himaginn - Thanks for the recommendations.

    Getting rid of Cellar Dampness

    Thank you TheVictorian. I guess with your example of having a server within a cellar, I'm sure I'll be safe with the alarm panel too. In regards to ventilation, what can I actually do to improve this? For example do I drill more holes in the wall to allow more air circulation?

    Getting rid of Cellar Dampness

    Morning. I can assure you that I have shown and verified the direction of the house correctly. Vents can't be placed on the east, west or south side as the ground level here is much higher than the cellar ceiling. It's unlikely I have any vents on the west side Gerrydelasel as this is the...

    My apologies....I meant 2 externals and 1 internal. I've done a quick diagram to explain:-

    Getting rid of Cellar Dampness

    JohnD, you are a life-saver and the idea to keep the panel off the wall is brilliant. Thanks. Condensation is still an issue, but I'm not exactly sure if I've found the source - Basically I've noticed a small central heating pipe leak in the room, with a drop of water every minute or so falling...

    Getting rid of Cellar Dampness

    Thank you flameport. I'm just worried that if I install a burglar alarm panel, that it will eventually start to rust and possibly malfunction. Unsure what to do or whether I should just install it in the hope it won't breakdown.

    Getting rid of Cellar Dampness

    Hi guys, I've recently moved into a property, which has a small, but useful basement. I am currently doing some wiring for a burglar alarm and wanted to install the main control panel in the basement (hidden away). However, I have noticed that although the cellar seems dry, majority of the...

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Your right in saying that most companies are not really interested in the energy efficiency side.. They are out there to make a quick buck and I get the awful feeling that they manipulate the consumption figures in order to get the grant. The way it works is that:- 1.You get in touch with...

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Thanks AGAS. Unfortunately, I can't get an 18kw boiler. They only offer 35kw or 38kw, although I could contact other energy companies and ask them what they offer. Can you recommend any company?

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Thank you for your understanding AGAS. I totally agree with you and feel for those whom don't get a fair deal. Lets just hope the government sees how stupid their criteria is and changes it for the better, although I wouldn't hold my breath. Right, so Vaillant it is, but is 38kw too much for...

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Thanks for your replies. I worked all my life just like the rest and I've actually got the house whilst I was earning a decent salary, but suddenly my health deteriorated and I had the choice to resign & go on benefits or take less hours and a lower rank position. I chose the latter as I...

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Thanks muggles. So assuming I had a choice of only Vaillant or Worcester, how many kw boiler do you recommend for around 13-14 radiators and a shower?

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Thanks muggles & dan. Surely if a 38kw boiler uses say 20kw and a 35kw or even 30kw boiler uses 20kw, are they not going to cost the same to run?

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Thanks guys. Dan - What I meant was it would cost more in running costs than a 35kw boiler, even though I would be utilising only a small portion of the 38kw's handling power?

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Thanks for your advice guys. I'm happy to go with your choices, but the installer I've got is not accredited by Worcester, so how much standard warranty would I get? Also if I went with the 38cdi, do you think it's an overkill, considering I currently have 10 radiators and may add another 4 in...

    Honest answer is that I have child under 16, whom I get tax credits for and therefore I can get this grant under the following scheme:- https://www.gov.uk/energy-company-obligation

    Replacing Worcester Boiler Advice

    Just so that I'm not mistaken.. Do you know whether a Worcester 24i is a system or a combi boiler? The reason I ask is because I can't find any cylinder / tank in the loft or anywhere else.
