should have said - water is clear. Pressure has dropped to about 0.5 bar. Cheers

Hi I have an Ideal Isar 24HE boiler that has started leaking from the boiler unit itself. Think its related to hot water as it seems to leak after we've had showers etc. I've lifted the front cover panel and water seems to be collecting on the bottom cover panel. Electrics are still working...

Hi I live in a standard victorian mid terrace house with lounge at front, dining room at rear and the kitchen in the side return extending from the back of the main part of the house. I'm looking at getting a side return extension to link the dining room and kitchen to make one big...

Hi I have an Ideal Isar boiler and have recently found that what I guess is the Condensation Trap (a white box about 10cm square fixed to the wall with condensation pipe going from the boiler into the top and coming out of the bottom off-set from the pipe above, with a red stopper on the...

Hi I have an Ideal Isar combi boiler with a Danfoss Randall FP715 programmer that was already fitted when I move into the house. The programmer has been wired wrong and I wonder if anyone can help me sort it out? Although the programmer has HTG and DHW, because its fixed up to a combi...

Hi About 18 months ago we had our kitchen refitted which included replacing the cooker with an integrated unit with a separate gas hob. The company that did the work said that they were Corgi registered etc but we never got our certificate. Having chased them up again for it, they are now...

should have added - it would be about 2m wide by 2.5 long.

I live in a standard victorian terrace house, which has an L-shaped bit at the back where the kitchen extends out from the rest of the property. I want to extend the kitchen to the side towards the neighbours property (and to the back of the dining room) to make one big kitchen diner...

Hi Strange question, but recently we've noticed that there is a fairly loud noise coming from what seems to be the upstairs chimney breast. We live in a victorian terrace with an open fire on the top of a hill, so could just be the wind, but it sounds just like central heaing pipes...

Hi We had a bomb shelter that we've now demolished which has left a concrete base that we want to deck over. To get a decent sized decking area (2.5m x 3m) we plan to cover an area of patio and a small flower bed. We've bought some deck tiles and a frame from B&Q, but I'm not sure whether...

On closer inspection its concrete blocks rather than breeze block. I've tried to chip away at it using mallet and chisel and not really made a mark on it, so do you think a small demoliton hammer would do the job?

Thanks for your replies. I'm not sure whether it was built as a bomb shelter or just a coal shed, but it is a sturdy building. It was just built for a house though - all the houses round here have them but mine seems to be the biggest! I was thinking, to limit the work I have to do, of taking...

I have a bomb shelter in my garden which is made from breeze block and walls are a good 50m thick (2 breeze blocks side by side). It also has a fairly chunky roof on top, which I'm not sure if its reinforced or not. I was thinking of hiring a Demolition Hammer...

Hi I've had a quote from someone to re-render the front of my house. At the moment we have a thin coat of roughcast. He has said that he'd take off all the cracked and flaky bits and would re-render on top of the remainder, with two coats of waterproof sand and cement. He said that taking...
