    New plaster coming away from wall

    I hope so.. will probably have to pack behind skirting. I have always been told not to plaster below the dpc so i told him to finish just on the last brick mortar line. I agree the job could have been better but as long as it stick this time round i will be happy

    Halstead combi pressure increasing and burning cutting out after 2 minutes of running

    Ok i will try that. But why does the burning go out after 2 minutes of running? Could it be the heat exchange plate as it might be junked up and not taking the heat away from the primary heat exchange and thats why it turns off?
