Ok, but i am .... any helpful advice?

Hello, So got a builder to point part of my house, using 3.5 NHL 1:2.5 mix. My first experience of pointing a house/having house pointed. Whilst the actual pointing looks fairly good so far (job ongoing), there are numerous mortar marks on the faces of the bricks.... Now, is this...

Cheers Frank I know there is multiple threads on this but always reassuring to post your own details (houses, bit like kids but more expensive..). Appreciate the help.

Thanks Frank I guess the photos dont show that much of the underlying mortar but i guess its fairly safe to assume the orignal mortar used was lime given the build date?

Thanks Woody Would the 3.5 NHL be the mortar to use if is lime mortar?

Anyone help please?

Guess this still stands..

Hello, I am about to repoint my house but am unsure about the type of mortar to use. House was built c. 1900, so from what I have read lime mortar seems like the likely choice. From reading other posts on here, 3.5 NHL could be the one.. It has been suggested to me that a 1:1:4...

Pressure reducing valve...

Ok, thanks all. Pressure reducing vlave and PRV it is, with the PSK kit. And proabbly try one of those water alarms - see how long it takes the wife to spill some water on it..

Ah washing machine, should i change the pipes on the back of that also? Specific pipes? Anything else that should be changed with my switch over to unvented?

Yes, I had heard that pressure can rise during the night (when my flooding occurred). The helpfuly lady at Monarch said the 'PSK' kit uses larger 22mm pipes. Im just concerned that i put the new pipes and limiter on, then something else fails and the next related company says "oh yeah...

Company saying if water pressure exceeds 5bar then a limiter is required. Also they say a PSK Kit is required - heavy duty pipes. As mine is 4bar they suggest I use limiters. Anyone any experience of these products - can I attach and forget? Hows about the pressure limiters affect on...

Ok, so just bad luck then and I should just buy some new pipes?

I have recently woken to my hallway being full of water thanks to the outlet pipe from the Monarch Midi Meter water softener in my house having broken off. So water pouring out the back ruining wooden floor. Not very impressed. A friend mentioned that a Megaflow can only be used with a couple...

That pipe towards the bottom of the picture comes from the sump pump in the cellar and flows to the left into the main waste pipe. The white plastic pipe connects to a lower plastic pipe which than travels left into the same waste pipe.

Ok, I see what you and Richardthe3rd are getting at . In hindisght i agree. Again, one of those questions i may ask now if i was getting the job done but i guess its ease of installation vs ideal set-up for most installers. Unless you know what exactly you are after before hand....i find you...
