No the leak is damaged felt and is 2 yrs old. The dorma refit was nothing to do with it but yes the lead would be tucked under the facia but it was decided to do the sides after the roof went on. So I have a small gap but have left it for now. A silicone bead will sort it out if an issue

The pressure is not going crazy as I know it can do on combi’s. It was running at 2.1 bar when I last checked and resting pressure is 1.7 bar I checked in the boiler and can’t see any water leaks

I recharged the EV on saturday on my valant boiler. It's 15 yrs old now. I drained down the boiler and recharged to 1bar. It was at 0.55bar. I thought the recent pressure drops would be sorted, but the pressure has dropped off today. I can't find any leak on the syatem. The blow off pipe...

I think the flashing will be ok. That break is there for expansion. Some sealant behind it will work if it becomes an issue. Thanks all for opinions

The flat is fully ripped out and I will be renting it out so no one there at the mo, but i can take photos. I'm not a roofer, but i ended up doing the dorma in fiberglass but the roof was done first and then it was decided to do the slates again. So yes ideally the lead apron would be under...

Can you see the patch ? I managed to lift the rubber narrow valley at the joint and push the lead about 10mm upwards to give it a little lap. I didnt want to go higher in case i created more problems. I use a sealant on this join as well. Its a 1890 aged building converted into flats in...

Well it has helped by 70% and a small bucket will collect any water coming into this loft void now but I want to try get it sorted properly. I have a video but you can’t load them here This is the only photo I have and the issue is at the bottom of the valley as you look down onto the dorma...

I think it might be a rubber system, not felt, but anyway it has failed. Got some patch up advice and he said to use fibreglass and resin over it. Sand it back a lot and then lay the fibre glass over the bad area and resin over. It's much cheaper than having to replace the whole valley. The...

I have a flat valley about 50cm wide dividing two semis on the roof. I had a crack in the valley where another valley runs into it. The valley is felted, but is older. So i coated this valley in fibrepol (a sticky water proof paint solution with fibres) and it looked like it helped improve...

I need a new key for my Citroen berlingo van. I have one copy only currently so want to get a back up. Is Citroen the only place to get one or can I buy from another source? I’ve seen keys on eBay for sale but no idea if these are ok

Just seen this as I was about to post a similar question, so I thought i would post on this thread my info. My question was about the rough costs i have seen on the internet as to the cost per sqm for fibre glassing. It seems the price is around £100. Is this including materials or just the...

How do I adjust this door? It is catching a bit so you lift the door up a little when you close it. I think you do something with Allen keys on the hinges.

Do I undercoat all the gutter where the current paint is good and has just needed sanding, or just the bits which have gone back to bare metal?

I am going to be painting a cast iron gutter and do the facias at the same time. All in black. I will do the normal sanding, will repair any rotten wood on the facia and will renew the seals on the cast gutter. I am just not sure what is the best way to paint the gutters. Do i need a primer...

Thanks for info. I have seen the manual and the 01.6 U value and then you have 100 plus 50 and it doesnt get there. So it is all a bit confusing. I think i will get away with 100 in the slopes due to the practicalities of getting more in. The eave walls looks like 75-80mm rigid will be ok...

He’s private but doesn’t seem to know the regs. I have read some of part L and it says what is practical and functional. 50 under the eaves is the most I can add really as it was tight in places with just plasterboard. So this has been removed, but I need to add it back plus the 50 mm...

0.3 in walls seems to be the new regs from my reading. Not new build, but renovation / upgrade on a building. 100mm does seem skinny, but what happens when you cannot add too much insulation under the rafters ? Do you just not carry out any improvement works then. Surely a bit more...

I am doing a refurb on a top floor flat. So i have ripped out all the old Pb and small lath walls to reveal a shell. The building control guy is not sure on the new regs and said he will get back to me on what i need to put back. He is saying i can leave the 50mm rigid foil insulation in...

Great info deluks Much appreciated.

Would a strip of lead be better ? Done in two sections ? I have a gas burner for plumbing, but no heat gun. Could i use this if i used flashband.
