    Cheapest/best way to detect a leak?

    The pressure on our Vaillant ecotec 630 boiler steadily drops and usually sits at around 0.8 cold / 1.2 hot (after being filled to 1.4 cold a fortnight earlier). Been told that there must be a leak somewhere. Other than 1 radiator valve which leaks a bit, which I have since closed, I cannot...

    How to replace thermostat with wireless thermostat

    Doesnt that mean that I've overpaid for my programmer as I will be left with the ST9400C doing nothing more than turning on/off the HW and CH?

    How to replace thermostat with wireless thermostat

    Our Honeywell ST9400C 7 day 2 channel programmer http://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/honeywell-st9400c-7-day-two-channel-programmer/ and a thermostat were both fitted on the wall right next to our Vaillant Ecotec 630 boiler. We have been advised to move the thermostat to a better location, and...

    Taps plumbed incorrectly - what to do?

    House renovated a few months ago, we have 2 sinks in our kitchen with identical tap and pipework underneath (see pics). To get hot water, we need to turn right sink's tap away from us (right pipe below gets hot), but left sink's tap towards us (and left pipe below gets hot). Is...

    Extension wall not built correctly?

    So what does it guarantee? (or at least, indicate?) Does it all boil down to how satisfied the BC surveyor was when he popped down for a look?

    Extension wall not built correctly?

    Generally, though, I appreciate your skepticism, Woody. I wasn't coming on here trying to say that the entire extension is a load of rubbish (I sincerely hope it isn't!) However,.... the roof has been damned by more than 1 roofer, I never got a certificate from the electrician, the...

    Extension wall not built correctly?

    They each said (independently) that the roofers used the cheapest type of mineral felt---the one usually used for garden sheds. If I'd show you pictures I think you'd understand..

    Extension wall not built correctly?

    What don't you understand? I, the homeowner, happened to see the foundations being dug. That doesn't mean I saw any technical drawings (I haven't) nor do I know the precise specifications etc...I assumed that these would have had to have been submitted to BC, hence my original post...

    Extension wall not built correctly?

    Is it 'normal' for a regular extension roof to be covered in one layer of green mineral felt? I thought 3 layers of torchon was standard procedure...? (Or so I've been told by several roofers who have inspected)

    Extension wall not built correctly?

    Sorry to disappoint you but I personally saw the foundations being dug myself (think > 1m) and a DPC laid (don't know if it was 15cm above GL, from my pics seems it was put above 2 rows of bricks)

    Extension wall not built correctly?

    With a Building Notice is there any way to find out how deep the foundations were dug, or other details? i.e. Is there a minimum of documents/paperwork that must be submitted to BC? (I already know my roof was done very poorly - no incline, only 1 layer cheap mineral felt - will set me back...
