Vokera Compact 25

I presume the boiler-end of the filling loop will be the end of the braided hose without the 'tap' on it? Can I just disconnect the boiler end? Or do I need to close any other valves first? My previous boiler had a permanently connected filling loop and I've never disconnected one. I'm...

I moved house just under 4 weeks ago and I have a problem with my Vokera Compact 25 boiler. The boiler is relatively new - under 3 years old. After moving in I noticed the 'PRV pipe' was dripping constantly. The pressure seemed high at 2.5-3 bar. Despite this drip, the pressure wasn't...

I've covered the ceiling with Thermawrap and I plan to batten over the Thermawrap before plasterboarding. Any advice on whether I should do it parallel or perpendicular to the rafters? I was going to do it inline with them, but after a little Googling others have suggested doing it across.

I've just finised laying the floor in my loft and I now want to tackle the problem of drafts and dust. The felt in my roof is quite brittle and there are a couple of holes/tears that I would like to repair before I cover it with some insulating foil backed 'bubble wrap'. I've been...

I'm in a pickle regarding loft ladders too. My ceiling is over 3.1m above the floor, so unfortunately the cheaper, off the shelf B&Q jobbies won't do. It seems like I'm limited to ladders costing nearer £200. I have just found this site. Maybe they can get spare parts?

I'd be very interested in some opinions too, as I am in a similar situation. I've opted to keep the existing 6" of insulation inbetween the joists and I'm considering some of this stuff for inbetween the rafters and maybe on the side walls too.

If you heat shrink each individual wire, do you then need to protect the whole connection? (I'm wondering as the grey outer 'wrapper' is now gone.) If so, is more tape permissible? Or does it need something else? ++++++++++++ Sponge, this thread is from last April and is considered to be...

Is it ok to use crimp connectors on solid wire, or can they only be used on stranded? I ask as I am reading conflicting information. If you heat shrink each individual wire, do you then need to go one step further and protect the whole connection? (I'm wondering as the grey outer 'wrapper' is...

I'm in the planning stages of flooring my loft for extra storage space (it will not be used on a regular basis) and I also plan to add lights and a couple of power sockets (just in case). I was going to extend the ring main from inbetween two sockets on the 1st floor, but then had a thought...
