Don't know what he did. I'm getting a second opinion next week.

.My usual heating engineer is on sick leave. I've had my 14 year old ish Worcester Greenstar certified as safe by a new guy but he didn't finish servicing it because: " Expansion vessel and pressure relief failed and boiler needs full strip down service" He...

Does this video help ?

Foxhole, if you mean there appears to be a gap on the tray base where the upper leg is inserted, I think it's the design of the tray as others at the front have a similar shape.

Great advice/tip Harry. Thanks!

Hi Harry Can you clarify the loop around the block thing and what I'd be trying to achieve with it. Thanks

Which photo Foxhole? The original at the first post or the new photo?

Not just me then!

Yes, it's still happening. A yearly fix from my plumber has kept it going except he's now off sick. Can anyone tell me how to adjust the legs. When I looked at the tray today, one of the legs the revolving "collar" at the top was loose. Is this supposed to be firm so that it is supporting under...

I was looking for information on people's problems with old legacy underfloor heating system installations and google was not coming up with much of interest at all. Then I searched my own computer and found a forum thread I'd saved from many years ago from a now defunct forum Ebuild which...

What a nightmare. From my dipping in and out reading over the years removing chimney breast undermines the structural integrity of period buildings. I know people do it though. It's the equivalent of filing down your own teeth to put on veneers. Looks good, but based on making irreparable...

I wish they would issue an instant £1000 penalty for any customer and builder who develops without serving the correct party wall docs on the neighbours.

The disc on my ideal standard has broken off just like this. Must be a thing. Also there's a steady almost inperceptable stream of water into the toilet pan. I can't put the cistern lid back on without flushing the loo and it keeping it 'in flush' so the water does not replenish. Not sure if...

Thanks Jacko. I'll keep an eye out for the spider! ( if I ever go down there again - can't stand just walking on the joists if I can avoid)

I don't think its mould. I checked myself at the time. A bit cobwebby Thanks for your reply I think there was probably a historic leak in that area from way back before it was last reroofed.

The more insulation on the floor of the loft, the more likely water vapour will condense on the wood above etc due to the temperature drop as less heat from the house is able to get through. The more the insulation, the more important the loft space is ventilated.

Over the past couple years when there has been a lot of windy driving rain (that seems to happen more often these days), we have noticed spots of water staining in the back bedroom ( old terraced house) coming from the loft above, approx 30cm away from the edge of the chimney breast After...
