Hi I would really appreciate any answers to my question if any one cah help ?

Hi Should we aim to keep the distance from the water flow path to the expansion vessel to the minimum to reduce the amount of trapped air or will the vessel still work i.e. the trapped air will push against the bladder inside the expansion vessel when the water begins to heat up ?

I had to buy the parts and will have to squeeze into the cupboard - the plumber said he will sign it off for me if I do all the awkward work.

Would really appreciate any feedback !

Hi We are having a potable water expansion vessel fitted to our Megaflo unvented hot water cylinder so as to avoid having to go through the process of re-forming the air bubble every 6 months. Our plumber is certified to work on unvented hot water systems. Due to congestion in the...

Hi The plasterboard affected is only on the walls on the timber framed partition. It have all been painted with a primer ( mist coat ? ) and then 2/3 coats of Johnstones Trade Acrylic Matt Emulsion. I think that the wall plates would have absorbed the water and as it migrated up with...

Hi I noticed that through the course of time a green crusty substance is forming on the chrome plated towel rail fittings which are part of my CH system. It is forming right at the point where the chrome plated copper pipe goes through into the chrome plated compression fitting. It is a...

Hi Thermo Many thanks for your reply. I take it from your mail that the screws will give as strong a bond as joist hangers. I take that they can be skewed in to secure the joists together ?

Hi I was "second guessing" the joiner. I wanted to find a source for SS joist hangers in case they were required. I want to have a gap under the subframe to provide ventilation.

Hi Many thanks to everyone for their suggestions - much appreciated :D

Hi The deck will only be about a 100mm from the finished ground level. I would not consider it to be an elevated deck.

We are facing the seafront I'm afraid :( hence the concern.
