Thanks, I would be soundproofing the whole party wall. Alcoves - probably a decoupled wall. Chimney breast - M20 panels or 2 x gyproc soundproof plasterboard (to save space). It was just behind the fire in the chimney breast I was concerned about as it needs to be kept to a minimal thickness and...

Hi. Noisy neighbors with TV on chimney breast and a huge surround system. I'm after soundproofing party wall but while doing so my wife wants a multi fuel burner fitted. At present we have a gas fire fitted so the hole is effectively sealed because of it (not that it seems to stop any noise) but...

Thanks for the help guys. New diverter fitted with all new gaskets. 17 year old Ariston eurocombi a23 MFFI running as good as the day it was bought now :) Just gonna flush the boiler out a few times over the next few weeks to get rid of any gunk. Thanks again

Ordered a new diverter valve and all gaskets, seals, etc. Delivery tomorrow so I will let you know if it fixes the problem. Thanks again guys for the help it is very much appreciated.

Thanks guys. Can I use a bit of WD40 on the pin to get it slackened while I order a new one + all seals & diaphram or could it be dangerous (combustable, etc) I pushed the pin in to test (my boiler is upstairs) and the upstairs rads get hot but not the downstairs? The pump is about 18 months...

Hi, My boiler has just stopped heating the rads. Hot water works fine but no central heating. If I leave boiler on for a long time the pipe to the rads slowly starts to heat up (but I believe it to just be the water from the boiler radiating heat down the pipe. If I leave my boiler turned it...

Hi, Reading about acoustic insulation between ground floor and first floor joists and not sure how much of an actual improvement R5 is over RW45. I can see on paper the kg cubed but in reality would it be worth it for a domestic dwelling of TV and general talking? Also would 100mm RW45 be...

Hi, I have a 3 bed semi & on my ground floor it is joists with a gap under of a foot or so. I am after insulating between the party walls downstairs and wondering what to use and how to fit it. I dont want to cause damp and have no idea how to fix (whatever you guys recommend) or exactly where...

Hi, I need to sound proof a party wall (with chimney breast on it) & cant afford to loose very much space (same as everyone doing this I assume). The noise I want to cut out is a TV bolted on to my neighbours chimney breast (I can hear every word sometimes) & general talking (which isnt too...

Thanks for the speedy reply Lectrician. Just as I thought. Tested it last night and all is good.

Don't suppose anyone know a rough estimate of costs to employ someone to do it or just sign it off once I have done the wiring?

Hi, I am after wiring my attached garage. The consumer unit as on the connecting wall so I'm assuming I just take a feed from the unit. 1. Am I allowed to do it or do I by law need an electrician to do it. 2. What size breaker should I use. 3. Even if I use the consumer unit do I still...
