I think your going off topic. Only slightly because my ok'd boiler was really ****! Just about every component has broken down. So would you recomened a valiant over the other three.

I am currently looking into changing my combi boiler. Its been nothing but trouble since the day it was installed (around 7 years ago). Halstead high ace!!! It continuously brakes down and im fed up of throwing money at it. I have had some quotes from a local plumber i know and was just...

One tip is to silicone the gap as normal, but before you touch it it your finger, spray it with soapy water, then run your finger along for a perfect seal. The soapy water stops any drag of the silicone.

Things move fast round here, page three already. Any ideas.

Hi i have a grundfos APO54 fitted, It seems to be tripping on its internal overload cut out. What can i check to rectify? Is it a pump fault (1 yr old) or a flow fault?

Or one hanging!!

It's definatly salt crystals. If you touch it it just falls apart. In fact it falls off and blows round the room when the door is open. Yes it's in east Sussex. The job is at a town called handscross

Perhaps I phrased that wrong. There are a couple of uk companies who's air con is crap. Also there is imported systems all over eBay. These seem to be systems that nobody has ever heard of and spares won't be ready available. Also the airforce stuff from b&q is also crap. The Japanese...

Can I use copy and paste? Thanks for all your advice guy,s. Now to brake the news to the customer and decide what to do from here. I'm woundering whether it never furred up before as the temerature would of been the same inside and out. Now the room is heated it's drying and drawing...

Yes, we have established that!!!

Just been reading some of the comments on the other post. May i add, the building already stood, and is at least 12 years old. We dry lined the internal walls (ontop of the origonal brick walls) re-wired, decorated, new wood floor and new doors. That is all. The brickwork has...

I went away and forgot to check, i did a little search but couldn't find the post so started again. Sorry for been repetitive.

I agree with all of you. The customer just said that they used a "special" sealer then skimed on top. Im amazed its still on the wall.

What if a 4" channel was cut out along the outside edge then inject a new dpc lower than the internal floor level and filled with pee shingle, also fit guttering. Surly this will help.

I have just remembered that there is no guttering, perhaps having some fitted would help. I cant remember what the concrete is like outside, i.e whether water collects or not.

No its a stand alone barn. Its not attached to anything. There is no step in or out, just the door fresh hold.

im starting to agree with you. After looking into eflourescence looks like your all right. No what to do. Do you think treating it with some sort of product will sort it or chemical inject a new dpc.

Remember that when the walls were constructed it was for a garage not a habbitable room. The bricks dont feel or look damp, its not all the way round just in two corners and its a dry, light, white, fur.

Is this possible? I was talking to a customer the other day. He has just had a new bathroom fitted. He said the plasterers skimmed straight on top of the ceramic tiles. How does it bond. Surely it will all fall off. Anyone hear or done it before.

have you had a quotation yet. If its been built nows a good time to get pipework into the cavity wall. Its alot nicer than in trunking.
