Sounds similar to a problem with a Worcester 24i Junior that my Dad is currently experiencing. Did you ever resolve it ?

and send the letter recorded delivery or with some means of proving that royal mail actually delivered the letter to your "plasterer". Best of luck.

I am going to have some rendering works completed on my house. A tradesman who I have used previously, albeit a couple of years ago, said he would complete the job but rather than price it, would prefer to do the work based on a daily rate and I pay for the materials. I am more than happy to do...

I was hoping for some sort of liquid product which I could carefully pour over the stones once they had all been brushed back neatly into the joints and then the liquid would set clear and leave the stones all stuck together :?

I laid a patio a while ago using Marshalls Saxon paving flags, 3 different sizes, laid in a random pattern. I thought that I would make a feature of the joints between the flags by having them around 40mm wide. The flags were laid on a full bed of sand and cement and the lower half of the joint...

The evening after he fitted them when I went to the job to see what he had done that day :? :?

I bought a pair of what I thought were chrome circular light fittings from Screwfix a while ago. Both were to be fitted in the same room about 5ft apart. Even though both boxes had the same code number on the side, I later found out that one was a chrome finish and one was brass......How did...

Got it. Thanks

Thanks roughcaster, you mention the bellcast. What is the correct height to locate this in relation to the existing DPC level

I have replaced the external brick soldier courses over my windows with 150mm deep, precast concrete lintels and I am now ready to have the external walls rendered in sand and cement and then tyroleaned with Cullamix. Is it ok to just go over the precast concrete lintels with the sand and...

Thanks TicklyT. I never thought of it from that perspective. Mr M

I hope that this is in the correct section ie 'Plumbing' rather than 'Building' I am going to replace my old cast iron soil pipe with 110mm dia. plastic. Its a fairly typical installation with a branch connection at 1st floor level to take 1No. WC connection and nothing else. The branch has a...

The horizontal cracking will generally only be visible externally as this is where the damage is caused to the tie ie where the weathering is. I removed some of my ties when I formed a window opening in my gable wall and they were the mild steel, galvanised 'fish tail' type. They were corroded...

Hi Shytalkz. The OP's question was specifically only regarding their existing ties and what to do with them and my answer kind of only referred to what was done with my existing ties but, the first line in my post does read "I had new cavity wall ties installed......" but to clarify, the...

I had new cavity wall ties installed about 3 or 4 years ago. The contractor cut-out the mortar around the existing corroding ties and put some sort of sleeve over them which I think had a grease compound in it. The gaps where then pointed-up in sand and cement and there has never been any sign...

I would probably be able to remove the fuel level indicator on the dashboard myself by removing whatever bits of the dash are necessary to allow me to gain access to it and fit a replacement. How do I get into the fuel tank though, to access the sender inside it :roll:

I am ok on most things but correctly installing the flashing to my new porch is worrying me slightly. I can't quite get my head around how I form the detail where the flashing meets at the apex of the chase in the brickwork and how I weatherproof it from this highest point down to the tiles...
