Thanks very much East61. I've got a bit of an issue.. Basically all the radiators are fine, except the 2 in the loft. One is lukewarm and the other you can only feel a tiny tiny bit of heat. I've checked the trv and made sure the valves on both sides are fully open. I've also bleeded both...

Hi guys, I've got a year old Vaillant Ecotech plus 835 boiler and 11 Radiators. Due to a leak in pipework, I had to get the system drained, the leak repaired and then refilled. All is well, except my installer settings have all reset (Boiler used to go into anti-cycling mode and I changed the...

I'm sure it will eventually. But I want to thank you for spending your time in trying to figure out this issue. I just hope I didn't waste too much of your time. But I really appreciate your advice. My next topic might be about wood burning stoves, so if you've any knowledge in that area...

Your right mate. This is one of those head-banging issues which I feel won't be resolved in the short-term, unless I spent loads of money.

Yes the damp patch is in the front of the property. This is one thing I could never work out. At first I thought it was the gulleys, but after having the camera check, this has been eliminated. The water we got was after heavy rain and it was clean water, so if it was gulleys or sewage, I'm...

Doggit, your a star buddy! You've just made me think a bit harder and I've remembered something that might be of relevance.....When I moved to this property a few years ago, I noticed a 2ft by 2ft puddle in the basement. This disappeared over a short period time. However it returned during...

Thanks for your advice Doggit. My issue is if this was a lack of insulation in the loft, then why is there moisture: Downstairs window One bedroom, but the rest are fine The back living room, kitchen and bathroom are not affected I wouldn't have a problem with a small amount of moisture, but...

The windows were closed because last night was pretty cold for us. But I'm thinking that maybe we're looking around the house for problems, when in reality it might be simply the window gasket failing (Have a look at the edges where the condensation is starting from). If it's definitely not...

The external wall is somewhat a bit cold, but along the same external wall, is a small box bedroom which is currently used as a study...it's totally dry. During the winter we have central heating on, so it can't be because of lack of heat. I've been tearing my hair out trying to diagnose the...

Can you refresh and try again mate?

Evening all. I've got some news....Neighbour and I after discussing the issue got a roofer up there today. He checked it out and there was a tree growing in the gutter/downpipe, which was somewhat blocking it. He's cleared it and now the downpipe is unblocked. My concern is whether this was...

The floor joists already have some insulation in them...not sure how much. If I may add, I may have mislead you a bit for which I apologise, because there is one other room affected - which is the living room. The other 2 bedrooms are occupied by my kids, but there is no condensation or...

I certainly could add it, but that would mean ripping up a brand-newly decorated attic again, so at the moment, financially this is not feasible. Are you are referring to the roof or loft floor joists? If I may add, lets say that it's due to lack of loft insulation....so then why are none of...

I'm not sure how much kingspan is in the roof...only know that it's all complete (either 50mm or 75mm)...none missing. The kingspan has most definitely been laid by the workmen as low as possible (literally touching the plasterboards) as they advised there needs to be a gap between the roof...

The problem does ease, but only a little. This attic roof has kingspan. The bedroom is Almost south-west facing (more west).

Thank you for your help guys. We've been here for a couple of years now and every autumn/winter morning, the room double-glazed windows have severe moisture running down them. We've tried all sorts, including leaving some of the windows partially open at night, but this only helps it a little...

Thanks guys. May I clarify another thing??? If it was a case of blockage, can this also explain high humidity/dark patches on the wall inside the bedroom?

Careful_Bodger, As I've said, I'd be happy to accept it if that is the case. I first need your help in diagnosing where the issue is. Why would water just come off the shared valley and not go down the pipes? What's causing this?

Hi Doggit, Because recently when we had heavy rain, I had just come back from work and could see the water sliding off from his side of the roof and straight onto the ground. But to be honest I don't understand why it's coming off the roof (Red Arrow) and not going down the pipe. The pipe is...

I'm really sorry guys for not posting the real picture earlier on. My mobile phone is in for repairs, so I thought I'd use a stock photo as an example. However I've managed to get a streetview snapshot of our houses from google maps: As you can see from the photo, there is a down-pipe, but...
