possibly, but only half had if that... paid out half the money so far and so about evens if job ends now, all be it with a lower output boiler.

Well the plot thickens.......... Been having a good dig around and can see the blow off valve is plumbed in (via a T) to another pipe coming from boiler draining out through wall. Also have seen a small sticker inside boiler saying 24he not as i would expect 28he as i asked for a...

thanks again morris , i understand where your coming from, yes it needs to be right and the calc needs doing accurately on my pipes so i will ask for this to be done, what annoys me is why have a gas registered person come to fit new central heating system and leave this pipework in place. If...

thanks morris for the calcs, not really sure now, would like to do the lot but might not be possible, is this a safety issue at all? you say its my choice, but is it and should it be? cheers truman

thanks for the help so far, to answer a few questions, its a potterton gold 28 he combi (25kw) and nothing else is running off the gas supply. its relatively straight with approx 7-8 corners in total possibly 12-14 meters pipework would be happy enough to have all but the bit through the...

Cheers for the quick reply deluks, forgot mention the stuff that came out was clay and came out in clumps so unlikely to go back compacted and i suspect would leave voids to settle over time creating a dip. so what sort mix, needs to be fine enough to fill it without leaving gaps for the...

Hi all, Having dug out a meter square hole from my lounge floor (clay) and dug a trench under the front wall for a new mains supply, the hole has half filled with water (1 foot). now i can empty it but when the pipe is finished, inspected etc i need to back fill, the question is what do i...

Hi, under the lead pipe relacement i need to lay a sleeved insulated pipe under the footings to below the pavement from the front room, the foundations are shallow so its just clay at the depth required but is their a tool i can hire to drill the hole (approx 1 meter) horizontally under the...

Many thanks red herring and noseall for your detailed replys. site is level by the way. I had forgotten to include the insulation :oops: I am now thinking of; screed concrete insulation dpm sand and hardcore unless i can ditch this due to lack of depth...

Hi, I am about to dig out the lounge floor in prep for a new concrete slab, my questions relate to this Am i safe to dig down level with the interior walls or do i risk undermining the wall. I am concerned that the 1850's stone cottage may not have too much depth to the walls.also i was...

thanks for your continued assistance, Yes i agree with your theory, breaking at the purlin area i imagine would cause the lifting of the tiles which we can see. monday night i will be in the roof to get the pics. watch this space...... regards Truman

leave your hat alone!!!! It seems your right about being more than battens, think i must have got confused!! Had another chat to find out more from the roofer, He told me a couple of spars had slipped off the ridge beam causing the partial collapse of that centre section, but should not be a...

Thanks to everyone for the replys, The other properties have just had some sand blasting/exterior cleaning and for presumably cosmetic work to explain the colour difference, not rebuilding or anything like that. to update, A recommended roofer looked at it today, he got up inside and...

Thanks for the reply, i would greatly appreciate it if you could point at which ones need doubling and more, i am doing alot of it myself eg bathroom, the plumbing, tiling and painting but think 700 to be closer than 500 after a quote for all the units and taps etc of £450. also kitchen is...

Thanks for the imput guys, The price is really difficult to work out chuckka63 as its not just the roof, central heating needs fitting and a re wire plus full decoration inc carpets and kitchen makeover and bathroom update needed. Im hoping to do 16k tops for the full thing so the roof cost...
