well, it looks like i got an answer from the everbuild site Limitations • Unsuitable for plastic frames heat absorbing glass. sealant it is.

there's about 3/4" to seal up below the window. the first window is 1800 long, i've another 2 at 2400 long so, you wouldn't recommend trowel mastic? Joe-90, trowel mastic is a linseed oil/sand mixture bought in tubs to seal below wooden & metal framed windows etc...

Just fitted a upvc window, but for sealing up under the cill, whats best to use? i've fitted hundreds of wooden windows and just used trowel mastic, but i've read that trowel mastic is not so good for using on upvc?? if you say mastic, think it would take a good few tubes of mastic, where...

spot on with your post there, had 2bar pressure, when the system switched on, the pressure went up to 3bar and some system water bypassed throught the PRV. the boiler maintenance cover guy is coming out today, at least ti know what to say to him cheers :)

cheers, i've got a wee bit of info about putting a wee bit of pressure on the boiler and closing the flow/return gate valves to see if it's the boiler, open and to see if it's the pipework i'll give this a try today

I have a worcester greenstar 24i system bolier just over the past few months the pressure has started to drop, as now i have to top it up every couple of days i've just been below the floorboards on mr ground floor, but i can't see any wetness, i've also checked the pressure relief pipe...

yeah, that looks like what i'll have to do. i've a fair bit of filling to do first

there's glasswool above. funnyily enough, i was sharing my room offshore with a painter, so i was asking him about it. he thinks it's eggshell that on the ceiling, he's said to sand it down with rough sandpaer, then smoother paper, then give it a couple of coats of vinyl paint. whats...

no extractor, we just leave the hopper window open all the time this is more to do with what can i do to the original ceiling paint, for the new paint/wallpaper to stick to

Thanks for your info & support :)

easy repairable? & easy source of the part?

I have an electric Mira Sport 10.8kw shower, lately there has been a drip coming from the shower head, granted, not all the time, but it's happening more frequent any ideas what could be wrong with it?

this pic might not be the best. but you'll see the yellow base colour, thats got a glossy face to it, we sanded it down to give it a rough surface for the matt paint to stick to http://i43.tinypic.com/2prep0k.jpg

cheers for the reply. i was half minded to try nitromorse on the ceiling lol i'll maybe sugarsoap the ceiling and see about fulling & sanding it and give it a good few coats of matt paint to see what it's going to look like

if it's flush ply door, what i do, if i score/cut the ply with a stanley knife (back & front), that way, the back edge won't splinter as much

if their on the drawings, they'll need to be used not sure about england, but in scotland, when fitting a velux, everything has to be doubled up & use joist hangers at all times

the reason you don't mitre them if for shrinkage & fixing, if the skirting shrink due to the heat in the house, every joint will open, also when you fix the skirting, it'll want to open the joint. when scribed, your first bit of skirting is fixed, then you scribe the other part to it, yes...

I've just had to strip the paper from my bathroom ceiling again, as it's started to peal off at the comb ceiling. i think the main problem is that a previous owner painted the ceiling with a gloss type paint. we sanded it and painted over with a matt paint for the paper to stick to better...
