This happened to me using Internet Explorer but since switching to Firefox it has cured. IE has been the subject of too many hacker weaknesses of late anyway.

Reading all this from the dark edges of the arena, for my own info ; The pump overrun is managed by which device?

Iam fitting a new CU. Do I need to mount it on a board like the CU (a moulded piece of chipboard with ceramic spacers off the wall) or can it go straight to the wall.

Fitting anti-syphon traps may be an answer.

I have a table of u values for various wall materials but theres no entry for solid stone walls.They're 18" thick. I thought about just multiplying the U value for brick x 4.5 Any thoughts on this?

well as far as Im concerned you can put whatever you like in them. The thing to watch is the thickness of the substance.You must be able to thin it down .There is a little funnel thing in the box that you use to "time " how fast it drains out,therefore giving a measure of the thickness. Also...

Is it water-tank sized?

As long as you have three china ducks on the same wall and the lady of the house has her hair permanantly in curlers then they are in context and look fine. Otherwise they look cheap and tacky. :wink:

Just the mention of the word seems to scare people off-its like the stigma of Skoda cars,they cant seem to shake it off,no matter how good they are now. I feel a far more scary subject has crept into insurance companies small print- "...the property is not on a flood plain..." Thats about 25%...

All of the major diy chains will and most will occasionally have an unbeatable offer on them.

Argos /Index catalogue do an SDS rotary hammer drill (including set of drills and chisels-unlike the screwfix one) for under £30. From experience I can recommend these to the Diyer. My local hire shop wanted £25+VAT for one.Buy one and then throw it away after 2 days and youre still in...

So what would be a fair going rate.? The site is all prepared and it would appear that it would just be a bit of change to the pipework to graft the new unit in.

Theres no hurry at all masona-it can go on the back burner as I have plenty to get on with myself, but thanks for the interest. Its just a "simple" removal of the slates and renew the felt then put the slates back on. I dont understand how to upload an image although I have some...

We once had a 2bed victorian terraced place with the cellar light done in crumbly 12v bell wire stuck to the joists with rusty drawing pins.

Sorry if I touched a nerve No -his price was just for unplugging the old and putting in the new

Well-the roof I have is part real slate and part imitation .Its in fairly good nick however the felt underneath has sagged and torn The timber underneath is in good condition at the moment I had a roofer quote me 5 grand to strip and refelt. I know the job is more commonsense than rocket...
