ok, I didn't realise this stuff existed! Do you mean pin it accross/under the rafters then plasterboard on top?

Ok, thanks for the help :)

Also, The photo looks like the bottom of a sink? Not a toilet!

No, I think he means does the 15mm flexi to your tap terminate to a valve (there should be a valve on both hot and cold flexis) Said valves will need to outside your enclosures so you can isolate if you need to service the taps.

Ok, thanks. If all joints/penetrations on the insulation board are sealed with silver aluminium tape, and then a waterproof acrylic paint over the plasterboard, wouldnt this prevent all moisture from rising up into the cavity removing the need for a vent gap?

Thanks for the reply. I understand the 50mm vent gap, and that the regs call for it. However, is there a requirement for the gap if the possibility of moisture entering into the void is minimal to zero? As imentioned, there is a NON brethable membrane currently in place, are you suggesting...

If you are unsure, I would just use a gas safe engineer to look at it. The liquid will be coming from one (or quite possibly more than one) of these places 1. Cold water in 2. Hot water out 3. Central heating in 4. Central heating out 5. Condensate drain Or any of the fittings...

If I understand this correctly, you need to attach a plasterboard panel that the silver boss will penetrate through then have it skimmed over? why dont you test all your water connections firstly, test them thoroughly. Once happy with the connections, release any plumbing joints and pass...

Try really cranking the upstairs tap tight, then run the other taps. I have seen this before, its something to do with pressure differences when the pressure drops at the upstairs tap due to the water being released at another tap in the system, however you would think this would have no effect...

Hi Dotty, Yes, fluid from condensate is normal. I had an Ecomax where the condensate drain degraded and fell apart, the fluid then delete egraded the internal components until I decided to replace it. My advice would be to just buy a new condensate trap and fit accordingly. It will save you...

Hi all, I have a problem with my Loft Conversion (have just bought the 1920's terraced house and the LC was already in) Its freezing up there, due to the fact there is ZERO insulation, just plasterboard. I am now in the process of insulating the pitched roof, however I cannot find a solution...
