Hi, My home is 1930's semi detached. It is made of bottom part Yorkshire stone, Top half bricks as its rendered and pebbledashed Although double glazed, it is pretty cold without the heating being on for long periods of time. I've come to realise that this is because of the external walls...

Bump!

Well that's very informative misterhelpful. This should be sufficient to allow me to crack on now. Thank you again for your advice. Much appreciated.

From comparing the photos, I thought it looked more like roughcast...no???. The house was like this when I moved in, so I can only assume that it's been rendered when it was originally built, which was the mid 30's. The chips have come off quite a bit as there are loads scattered on the...

Thank you. I've taken some photos of the wall, although it was very dark, but I hope this can help you work out which one I have.

Hi guys, I'm currently planning to paint the exterior of my house (SEE HERE). At the same time, I also want to sort out the Facia at the front of the house which has lost it's paintwork and slightly rotten due to the weather. It looks like this:- My questions are:- Can we put plastic...

Thank you for your help misterhelpful,. That's excellent advise and very helpful. It's not in extremely exposed weather, but the exterior front and side walls get more rainfall than the rear one, so it's kind of got more wear and tear. I do apologise, but I don't know the difference between...

Hi guys, I would like to paint the exterior of my semi-detached house which is pebbledashed. Please bear in mind that the exterior walls of the house are reasonably exposed to the weather. Could you please give me any advice on how to paint pebbledash and if there is any way of protecting...

I rang technical, but I'm not a gas safe engineer, so I could only choose the home owner option.

Don't be too concerned guys as I'm not ignoring your advice... I have called an engineer and they'll be coming out on the weekend. I'm thinking whilst they are at my place to ask them to replace the crappy salus wireless thermostat with a wired version. This is what I used to have before the...

No because there is an option for homeowners.

I have spoken to Vaillant technical department. They have said that they can't figure out the problem, although they are suspecting it's a flow & return issue.

I appreciate it mate. Thank you. I will be contacting vaillant today and I will do my best to update you if a problem is found.

I don't know where you've got the idea that I'm not willing to spend money, because if you had bothered reading post #92, you'd have realised that I've already said to Bunny that I was going to get Vaillant if I don't succeed. As for asking for advise, I was very clear that I'm a novice and I...

I did, but I wasn't sure what he meant. Also would "heat operating" mean CH or just running Hot Water?

None taken. I think your right. I will see if I can get a Vaillant professional out to get this sorted. I've not had any experience of Vaillant Engineers and just hope they don't blame it simply on the radiators and do a thorough check.

Thank you. Being a novice, I don't understand much of what you said (SORRY!). Is it possible you can tell me exactly what I need to do?

So what does this mean and how can it be tested or fixed?

I did this test and ran the tap for 5 mins with CH turned off. The 22mm copper pipe on the bottom left of the boiler is definately heating up @Agile - I will totally close all and just open them a 1/4 turn. @simond - Right, so it's really a complex thing to change or adjust. @hertsboilers -...

Morning. I ran the heating as requested, but when I went to menu installer (17) > diagnostics, there is no D.009...ONLY D.008 & D.010. I also checked the temp for return and out on radiator pipes, but can't tell the difference to be honest
