After putting down wasps nest killer the activity around the wasps roof entrance has stopped. Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions

I did take some pictures but file size was too big, I will post some low resolution pictures shortly.

Hi all Noticed a lot of wasps flying around the corner of my roof, after talking a closer look I could see that they were entering my roof through badly fitted roof tiles. As a professional myself, not in the building trade, it must make the genuine builders like yourselfs furious to see this...

I have now downloaded the get_iplayer program. Thank you for your help and advice:giggle:

Thank you for your quick reply and the link. I have opened the link, where do I click on the page to do the download the exe. I have tried clicking the highlighted "get_iplayer" in the top left hand corner and other places but nothing pops up asking me to download the exe file. Where on the page...

Has anyone successfully installed get_iplayer. When I downloaded the exe file it says not suitable for your version of Windows. I'm running Windows 10 home. Thank you for any help given

Hi Recently move house, have mixture of TVR's, no two the same, no idea how old they are some look new, others very old. Is there any way to test them? Some appear to work but would be good to know for sure. Thank you for any help given

Unfortunately the hot tap runs for 30 seconds At a flow rate of 5 sec / 1L = 6 Ltrs which is 3 to 6 times the volume of the pre-heater vessel.

No reduction in the hot water through the boiler, really good flow from taps and shower.

When I fitted the shower it was obvious which the hot and cold supply pipes were, l could feel the temperature difference quite easily. My water pressure is very good, so the stop cock is throttled back. I will look into getting some fittings for the shower test.

Unfortunately I have resealed the bath panel (maybe to premature) but I can follow the pipes from the floor to the tap inlet, and it's a straight run without any other pipe work attached. I don't have any fittings to blank of the shower. Do you think it's likely that a brand new shower from one...

I fitted a brand new Mira Atom EV Thermostatic bar mixer. The bath tap is a none mixer. I have attached pictures from under the bath. The bungalow was built in 1980. We have only lived in the property for just over a year, so can't say when the bathroom was installed.

The sequence was Turn off the cold water supply to the boiler, Run the hot tap, water runs hot gradually turning cold, stops after 30 seconds no further water coming from the tap.

The water runs hot gradually turning cold, then suddenly stops after the 30 seconds.

Yes, with the boiler cold water supply isolated, hot tap water runs for 30 seconds, then just stops, with no more water flowing.

When it first happened the tap symbol, square around the tap was not there. The thing leading the engineer to the TMV is the hot water tap runs for 30 seconds (at 5 sec/ Litre) after the boiler is isolated from the cold supply.

Unfortunately reference my last post, I'm not getting that kind of temperature differential. Still not sure where I can go from here, how can I find the TMV or prove I don't have one without ripping my house apart?

Just tried the test, DHW set to max temp 65°, ran the tap next to the boiler thermometer reading of 64°, ran the bathroom tap which it a considerable distance from the boiler, thermometer reading 62°. I'm using a normal glass thermometer, so I think with in the scope for errors.

I see where you are coming from, but if I have a none working TMV which according to the engineer is the problem I have, and it's not regulating the DHW temperature what does this confirm. Or am I wrong in my assumption. I will give it a try, but I can't turn of the water to the bath or the...

Hello oldbutnot... Can you please resend your post, I didn't get all of your message.
