Cheers, Good luck. Out of interest what fan do you have? I have been looking at getting a more expensive model.

I've been battling with this for ages. I replaced my old one with a 15 quid one from wicks. The reason for this was the other one had spring clips, where this one screws into the plaster board directly. It still vibrates as the centrifugal motion is not completely uniform. Anyway my point...

THANKYOU!!

Sorry for the confusion. The boxes that the cords/weights were in were done previously. The new windows are simply screwed into this. However, they are not quite big wnough in places. A 5mm gap is acceptable for expansion, but these have up to 50mm in places. So, the survey said arc and...

The sashes and boxes have been removed. On the survey for double glazing it says line for only one of the windows. There are 4 windows exactly the same, that had the same old timber frames. We have large gaps at the sides of the windows where they don't quite fit to accomodate where the...

Apologies for my ignorance. Just had some windows put in. It states on the survey that they should have arc and liner, but I'm certain the liner part wasn't done as there are huge gaps top and bottom which have been covered with architrave. Thanks

UPDATE: They are willing to come back and repair the plaster. They are still saying they won't put foam in as it will dislodge the windows. I am thinking that the windows are not the right size which is why the gaps are there. They "fit" to look at on the outside, but have covered the...

Thanks, I appreciate that, Love the canals comment! :lol: It is frustrating. So to cut a long story short, foam IS the norm for gaps that size? Thanks to all.

No, but it does say they will take up matters regarding workmanship, and they take it very seriously. This is from their disputes site: "The FMB sets high standards that builders must meet in order to become members, we therefore take any complaint against a member very seriously. All...

Thanks Mr scrit. It is a bleeding mess. It states in their terms and conditions they will correct any damage to plaster. They came last thursday after I had their service manager out. I showed the guys the plaster damage and the huge gaps, they just shrugged. They said that when they put the...

Its condensing type and drips from the end of the pipe that sticks out. Not much one big drip every now and again depending how hight we've got it set.

Cheers, so is this bad then?

Thanks. I'm in dispute as its the second time I've asked them to fill it with foam. I'm not touching it. as you can see from the photos there are many other flaws. They are saying I'm being too picky. Am I expecting too much for them to have filled a 25mm height void with foam?

Should foam be used to fill gaps between top of windows and the open space greater than 10mm? I have had my double glazing replaced and they've just sealed on outside (not very well as you can see daylight(long story about architrave)) and architraved inside and sealed on the outside. This...

sounds like water hammer to me?

I have this problem as well, and assumed that seeing as I had a condensing boiler, its very cold, and theres lots of steam coming out it is just condensed water vapour, eg water! It doesn't pour out but every now and then it will drip. Is this just steam turned to water through natural...

This is what a Vaillant engineer said "Yep they all do that" "Its the motors doing a diagnostic check switching from hot water to heating and back" Not really a good enough answer as obviously theres a massive design floor if this makes the pipe work rattle. No Joy I'm afraid. Vaillant...

I have a vaillant eco-tec pro 28 (not even a year old) and it does the same thing. I've got vaillant round on Monday so I'll post back with their findings. It is a horrible grinding sound isn't it. it doesn't sound right. I've had a few combi's in my time and have never heard them do that...

This is interesting...... Did Vaillant fit the part? I had one of their engineers out the other day to fit a new timer for my eco tec pro 28. Idiot brought the wrong one then told me I could use their wireless model. I checked the dat sheet for it and guess what..... It isn't designed for...

Should be part on any installation anyway!!
