Ceiling is solid sandstone slabs that act as the floor above. The ground floor is the same height as the land outside. Picture is front door threshold and a shot looking to the right of door. The coal chute us just under the gravel below the window cil. I’d thought about some humidity control...

Hi all. I have a damp cellar and need to let it breath a bit. The only exit is via a coal chute that’s been blocked (I will re open it) presumably because water ran in. I’m struggling to find any product that provides a water tight ventilation for coal chutes/holes that are level with the...

hi, my roof Windows is solar/electric powered. It's recently developed a fault which I can't seem to fix. It's currently closed but the vent is open, the motor tires to close it about every 30 seconds to a minute which it seems to do successfully but the it opens again after about 30 seconds...

Anyone?

Just looking to confirm or deny if my gut feelings are accurate. So in simple bullets; 1. Is Derbyshire peakstone as hard wearing as granite? Or does it disintegrate like Cotswold and slate. 2. Should I remove Tarmac or is it ok to gravel over top provided hardcore is whacker plated into the...

Hi, I'm currently looking at getting my Tarmac drive done in gravel. I was originally thinking Cotswold Chippings but a friend said it can turn to dust quite easily. A builder has suggested plumb slate but I know slates brittle so I don't think that's a good idea. My thoughts are that...

Usually the simplest solution works. I adjusted the max temp and it now gets hotter. Thanks for your help guys. On a side note are the large square drench type heads rated? I find the pressure is less compared to normal shower. Less invigorating. Is that a trade off?

Ok thanks. I'll go do that now.

Yes it does in the PDF In my earlier post. It's set at 45 out of the box though I have not checked Both hot and cold do around 6ltr a minute - just checked (1ltr in ten sec) the hot gets hotter with reduced flow on the kitchen tap next to the boiler. But I know the tap is on them thin reducer...

I'm 100% sure it's then right way. When I turn to cold it's freezing. When I turn to hot it's warm. That would make me thinks it's plumbed right!?

Might be my leather hands. The wife can't. Although its not red hot it would prob be too hot to shower in if that makes sense?

Is there a way to test an of theses? It's definetly connected up ok. As when you turn to hot it gets warm I thought it might be the shower head as its one of them big square ones but is rated for my type of boiler... Mixer link below...

Hi all. I have recently fitted a new mixer shower from the bath store which i have to put on to full hot to get a warm shower. I used to have a cheap wickes mixer which was really hot and powerfull. The new one has a larger shower head suitable for my boiler (remeha avanta plus) Even if...

Thanks D_Hailsham. To be honest that sounds complex for your average home user. I do notice the tap icon as well as the rad icon display all the time. I'm not back home till mid week so will check setup then. Is this kind of advanced settings supposed to save fule?

Hi all. There is a small white dongle type thing on the north external wall literally behind the boiler. Pressing the info button on the thermostat I can get a reading for the current room temp (23) the external temp (10) and the temp I have set (16) House was roasting when I got in from...

Kind of makes sense but in a cold house if I turn it on and increase the temp dial the heating comes on, so I don't think it's hooked up wrong. For eg, if its on 6 degrees and I up it to 20, boiler comes on and radiators get hot. Maybe this extract from the manual helps. Seems confusing...

Hello, I have a ongoing problem that's really annoying and no matter what I try I don't seem to be able to rectify. I have a remeha boiler and a remeha celcia 20 thermostat in my living room which is about a meter from the radiator. I normally set the thermostat to 20-21 degrees and leave on...

thanks for the help. The bathroom is to one of the corners so at end of span and next to external wall. my plan was also to raise the bath up on a platform made from correct size joists and tie these into the external wall Thanks again.

im not actually replacing anything at the moment. i just took it up to move some wiring which had been done recently by the previous owner. should i be looking at replacing the floor anyway? i could have done without the cost. What about building a new floor on the one above, obviously not...

Thanks for the help. i figured as much. i have seen some really short traps, about 2" which should do the trick.
