Its just just a roof I am looking to put on, not fully enclosed. Ideally I would like it to protrude by around 1m which would mean it covers the first step in front of the door. In total around 1.7x wide by 1m long I did consider that I may need a pillar/post to support the weight. I was...

I'm looking at building a small porch roof over my front door. I've seen there are quite a few off the shelf solutions but most of these are designed for flat fronted houses. I have the garage attached to the front of the house so the side of the porch roof would need to fit in with this...

I have a valve in my cupboard with the cylinder that I am not sure if it should be on or off. Its looks like its some sort of bypass for the 3-way valve. Any idea if it should be open or closed?

Don't worry - there are there purely for decoration until its used again

My parents have been told by a couple of people (who we think are fairly competent on the Gas side but not Gas safe etc) that their fire is not very safe and it should not be used in the current state. They have not used it for a number of years now. The main issues raised were.. 1) Gas pipe...

I would call a few local traders and get them quoting. At least 3 local ones to get a good idea. I have just gone through the same and got 3 of which 1 was way out and so got a 4th round. It was the 4th who i then went with. CheckATrade is also very good for seeing local traders who have had...

I'm getting my boiler replaced, had a few quotes but got mixed opinions on whether the following is allowed My boiler will be going on the end wall of the kitchen which is the house end wall. Rather than put the drain outside (cold issues and its a walkway) I would prefer to keep it internal...

No chance of claiming IMO Sounds like most of the damage was caused by your brother going out and leaving the house un attended unforunately

The pump does run when the hot water is on. Just replaced the pump so know that for sure

Cheers for the replies. In answer to some of the questions The foam round the tank is a mustard yellowy colour I live is quite a hard water area (south coast) The connections to the coil in the tank are around a foot apart at the bottom of the tank. It sounds like if we can afford it...

We've got a copper (i think) indirect hot water cylinder - its foam clad and wondered how long do they normally last? As we are replacing our boiler soon we also have a quote to replace the cylinder. Both plumbers that have been have said its not a must do but one recommended if it fits into...
