Gas is gas as defined by gas safety regs so tank gas is covered. You must be competent to work on lpg gas supply, and so you should be of course.

It appears to be a very grey area on the screwfix forum. Do we need a thread on it here? I'm up for it if you are.

LITTLE OLD LADY, get another opinion. Gas engineers are no different to garage mechanics or anyone else providing a service, in that there are decent ones and rip-off merchants. It will be obvious to the rip-off guy that you know nothing and can be conned. Ask around and get a personal...

I've got a 206 litre HW tank, ie 1500x450, with a top and bottom immersion element. In the summer the bottom element heats the tank from off-peak electricity. The top one is on normal rate but I've never needed it. I actually wired my property for 8 storage heaters but the solid fuel stove...

Hey Brumy, you've got it wrong. That's not a very good pic but it needed some more fuel although the fire wasn't actually out. The point is the fire is never out this time of year, so it's 24 hours of heat, and no getting up to a cold house. My place is so well insulated the air flap is always...

You need new specs mate - like I do!

Kev asked: You mean from 'Miss Do It Myself' - Niki? No chance, women have let me down all my life. I just live with my dog now. :)

Kev said: and got the link to work, great stuff! ...and the Belle mixer is a great machine, worth every penny. I've had one for 25 years.

Low gas bills though.

It saves me putting on my specs though.

Niki, any chance of a photo?

Good point Pete. Back to the wall ties then. Is there evidence of the mortar joints splitting because rust has made the steel ties expand or have you looked into the cavity?

Bleach will kill the mould ok, but mould does mean the surface was damp enough for it to grow there. That could mean lack of ventilation and so condensation, or something more serious like a defect in the damp course or brickwork. You usually get wallpaper paste that contains an anti-fungicde so...

Niki, I was really interested up to the point where you said ...but then you mentioned that you had a spouse. :(
