Hi Chaps, About to kick off some work and an old mate of mine who i recently bumped into by chance has offered his services and just wanted to know if he really is a mate or not from the following price I have been given? Not had others round to quote yet but if this sounds good then may...

Thanks Dan, I have just seen them on a few houses in various patterns and as we have an area to render on the front of the house we had been considering something like this rather than just plain render, thought it may add a little character to the place, also some houses in the area have them...

May be a quick and easy one here but I have seen what looks like tiles placed on the front of rendered houses to form patterns, what is in fact used here and how are they fixed? Basic black tile example picture below

Thanks mate, going to pop round for a look this weekend i think, and yes it looks like you are spot on with the 2.8, if I'm honest I still don't fully understand it all :lol: But if that's what valliant say then that's what I'm going to follow, and like you said when running at 2.8 the rads...

Also we are adding a downstairs wc and upstairs ensuite when we get to this I suppose our plumber can sort out the heating curves etc at that time and have the system running properly. Just want it to perform well now before these additions are made. Should we have an outsoor sensor? I will have...

Just to throw a spanner in the works here, I didn't notice any sort of sensor outside the house which I thought would be needed to work with this wether compensator thing? Or am I wrong here and an outdoor sensor not required?

Will do, just to finally confirm do I still need to adjust the pressure to 1.2bar then?

Thanks guys, I will try and stick with it, just that looking back to a few weeks ago when we was round there it was cold in the house and felt as cold as it did outside almost? I noted that the cat was sat on top of the radiator in the hallway....Jesus if the cat which has has a full coat of fur...

Sorry for the outburst, just have a million an one jobs to do at the house and was hoping the heating would be a bit simpler and a case of turn it on and heat will flow freely. Wasn't ready for heating curves/weather compensators and pressure valve adjustments :lol: Thanks for all help given...

To be honest, I have started to look at the online user manual this morning for the boiler and now the weather comp and its all starting to become a headache. Weather compensator talking about heating curves etc....wtf!! I just want to set a time and have my heating come on a couple of times a...

Thanks, will take a look - just to clear though, so the outside weather will always determine how hot or cold my hearing should be in the house? And I can't override this? Also does the pressure now NOT need adjusting? It's just that from doing a little looking around it seems the system should...

Where have you all gone :roll: :lol:

Thanks all, ok had to do it from the phone as wont on tablet. The flue picture is off the web as I didn't take a photo whilst there, the flue is the same as pictures more or less but upside down for what you see in the picture so the plastic is cut at an angle making the top lip for...

Sorry, trying to get a couple of pictures on but not working? The upload image button is greyed out so can't upload a photo???

Thanks, I will take a look for it once I'm back round there later this week. Any ideas on the upside vent if it is upside down that is?

Thanks Mick, how do I increase the pressure on this unit? I think the flue is upside as the bottom bit of the flue sticks out further than the top and I thought it was supposed to be the other way round (hope I've explained that right haha) Would this need to be rectified or is it ok to leave...

Hi chaps, Just completing soon on our first house and been round today to check a few things and noticed the radiators aren't very hot just luke warm at best :( I had a mess round with it and seems to fire up ok and the water is hot and water pressure through taps seems good with a hard...

Yes, I mentioned the wall ties in my original post, i think realistically the blockwork is going to have to come down and more or less start from scratch :cry:

Thanks Stuart, i think using this stuff and just taking out a few courses so it can be pushed into the cavity should be ok.

Thanks Dan, I will get some more pictures up soon as I have only really taken shots of this area at present as it was something I wanted a little advice on prior to deciding whats best to do. Is it not possible to somehow take the old stuff out and as John suggests poke kingspan in? I want...
