The Marley interlocking roof tiles appear to have a worryingly large gap (10mm) in many places (pics attached). Should I be concerned about this? Many of these gaps were filled with moss/ dust and soil. The neighbours (terraced houses) also have the occasional large gap Removing the tiles, I...

Which is generally better guys? Buying/fitting the (I) eaves felt support tray and (II) Eaves Comb Filler separately or buying a 3 in 1 part, like the link below, where they combine the eaves felt support, built in over fascia Vent and an eaves Comb Filler all together? 3 in 1 Eaves support...

Scaffolding delivered on Sunday, will get cracking this week. Thank you so much for the advice. Particularly the part about not thinking "I'll just do a bit more". Reading the above also helped remove the apprehension. Yes, I will use some 2x1 battens. I will just place the new battens...

I was going to use some dense polythene like DPC as opposed to an eaves tray. Are there any drawbacks to this? Is one more advantageous than the other? 8 weeks but company are flexible What kind of stick? So is it possible to stand on the scaffolding and just use a stick to remove the moss...

It's not even Christmas yet, but here comes the grinch :LOL: Fortunately not. Its a mid-terrace. It's a standard two storey house. Scaffolding arriving over the weekend. Excited and nervous at the same time :mrgreen: The tiles are Marley Concrete interlocking tiles They are flat looking...

Felt tears (in the bottom 4-5 courses of roof tiles) has led to a roof leak. Watching the below video, am I right in saying that the job is relatively straight forward for a competent diyer? i.e. 1. Remove roof tiles, remove battens and remove existing damages felt 2. Lay new breathable...

After noticing some damp patches on ceiling, I went in the loft to investigate. In the loft I found large tears in about five areas of the felt. The felt also felt (no pun intended) weak and almost crumbly in places. Before calling out a roofing contractor, could I get some suggestions on...

Apologies for the delay in updating this thread I am delighted to say that the pump was changed and the rads all work again. @terryplumb i can't thank you enough. Your knowledge and patience was amazing. A true gem.

You're a star, thank you. Contacted Vailliant and an engineer visit has been booked. Yes, rads worked fine prior to summer This experience has been great. As a family, we now feel confident/comfortable whipping rads off walls, draining the system, removing and fitting valves/TRV's. Will...

All the rads on the ground floor were removed. As advised, the pressure was kept high and the Flow and return from each rad were opened. There was a continual stream of water from each end. 15mm flexi tail did not fit on towel rail valce so unable to fully test. However, I am confident that...

Ground floor rad in dining room was drained. On the ground floor we have a living room, bathroom, dining room, then kitchen. One room after the other, in that order With the living room being the front room and kitchen furthest away in a single storey extension. Today we'll get the other...

Will get this checked out. Thanks.

One rad (ground floor) finally came off. Plasterboard was cutout (1) The system has been drained for over 1 hour now. 1. The upper floor rads appear to be fully drained 2. Some of the ground floor rads were holding a lot of water even after 1 hour. So valve was cracked open to drain the rad...

@terryplumb pics of the valves are attached One end has standard TRV The other end doesn't have a traditional lockshield. It like another TRV. Family are reporting that as the pipework is coming out of the wall horizontally and there is no play/movement in the pipe, getting it off the wall is...

Many thanks Terry. Okay, I will get family on the case today 1. Go to each valve (flow/return) on the ground floor rads. 2. Open then up with pressure topped up 3. The valve which doesn't release water /heavy stream is blocked/restricted I have a standard hose. To connect the hose to the...

I will start off with this option. What should we do? Test? Etc to establish/ clear any possible blockage?

1. Last week the boiler wouldn't fire up/run. It had an F75 error. 2. Vailliant engineer changed the pump and the boiler began running again. The system was installed about 2 years ago. I know that it had inhibitor.. Can't say whether it had a chemical flush. But it definitely never had a...

Contacted Vailliant: They won't send an engineer. They said that they'd be surprised if this is a pump issue as it was just replaced. According to Valiant, the ground floor rads not working suggests an airlock/ restriction. Would a power flush sort out the issue? I was thinking of getting...

Woah.. Never thought I'd see the day. The legendary poster who's always helping others actually has a question :mrgreen:

The ground floor rads were not checked. Today I have - bled all rads - drained the system - stuck wet vac on end of a ground floor rads to remove any possible airlock - I've shut the valves upper floors and opened the ground floor and still no heat. The pipe (i suspect it is the flow)...
