Thank you for your message. I did think that I would be a bit more complicated, just wanted a honest opinion from experienced tradesmen. Not very kin on paying for another fix the 3rd year in a row... anyway I will try to hold onto this boiler for a bit longer. Regards

It wasn't changed, the guy used some descaler couple of times in the last 4 years.

So far it was the heat exchanger, expansion vessel and diverter valve.... but it still quite reliable and does the job, so far.

I see no other option but to get a qualified person to have a look at it again. It's just like having a car....but like you said, I sould have had my money's worth by now.

I was already on Google :)) The boiler cost me about £350 in the last 2 years....if I can use it another year I would be happy.

Well, there is always something about this boiler, I don't get bored at all.... Thanks, I will keep you updated. Regards

I see...This actually escalated from switching off and back on the hot water tap-quick fix- to turning the heating on and now to switching off the boiler for 30 minutes...

No, what you see in the video is happening when I switch the heating on or when I want to use the hot water. I can actually her some kind of noise for the first 10 seconds, something like electric sparks.....they eventually fade away.

Sorry about the wrong video posted, I have removed and added the right one. Regards

Hi all, I am having some problems with my Vaillant 242 boiler, it doesn not seem to ignite anymore. I have attached a video as well. Any advice is appreciated. Regards, Daniel

No worries howy, I hope this shingles are good enough for your project. One last question regarding this type of roof, how are you planning to join the rafters over the posts? I suppose that you are going to install a plate, and the rafters would rest on it, but what joining method should be...

Hi howy, yes, you can find them at Wickes, £13.33/sqm, I didn't remember the exact name and I couldn't find them last time so I've had a look on google images... This is the link http://m.wickes.co.uk/search?text=armourglass I have worked with this product few years ago and I remember that...

Thank you howy1, that makes perfect sense, you are right, all the joists in my loft are 4x2 and same in my living room. I will be using treated 4x2 for rafters and 4x4 posts, tongue and groove boards and something like this http://www.brico.com/madera/tegola-americana/tegola-americana.html but...

Hi Howy, thx for the post, ting and grove is a good ideea, actually it will look a lot better than osb... Is the 4x2 enough for rafters? I was thinking of 6x4 for posts, and 6x2 for rafters but now I think that the 4x4 posts and 4x2 rafters will do the job. Are you going to concrete the posts...

Tanks for the link pinenot, very useful ;)

Yes, something like a canopy and I think I will use osb and some blue or green bitumen flashing...

Unfortunately that is the only sketch I have found at that time; the decking will be over a concrete base, at the back of the garden, not over an extension. I don't want a any fancy roof just a basic one. How many posts should I use? Will 4x4" be enough? Should the rafters be at 16 inch centre...

Hi all< i want to build a decking roof but I could use some advice-timber, plans.... The size will be 12'x 6' and it should look like the sketch I have attached. Do I have to dig some holes for the posts supporting the roof? Regards, DanielR
