The slates go half way down to the ground from a flat roof and are just off vertical. The facia needs to squeeze up between the overlap of the torches surface of the flat roof and the beginning of the slanted area (asbestos slates about 2 foot by 1 foot,I'd say) The slates are attached to...

OK to drill it and refill the hole with a bit of silicone?

Oh I see.I am struggling too.Just persevere Are we sure it has to be those little "lids"?

Might it be that those "lids" are just for decoration (and to indicate hot vs cold) in this case? I have tried a Stanley blade and it gives no indication at all of wanting to come off-the plastic just chips and even the enamel on the tap itself is starting to chip. It can't be the spanner...

That's a very small red bit of plastic.Do I lever it up with a very small screwdriver?

TITLE (uneditable?)should be "Taking a tap apart" Damn autocorrect! Do I have to take off the little bit of red plastic at the top of the tap first? Is there a screw underneath? Or do I get a thin spanner an undo it that way? (I tried that without apparent success) I don't want to go...

Unless I open up the bleed screw there is zero heat. When I do that the hot water comes through once I have filled up ,say half a bucket. After I close the bleed screw all the heat (and presumably circulation) disappears. The boiler I have only feeds these downstairs radiators (well that's a...

Wondering what could be the problem with my radiators. They are downstairs and so I doubt there would be an airlock. When I open the bleed valve on the top (with the inlet and outlet valves closed ) there is a good influx of hot water when I open one of the valves. When I close that valve...

This some kind of an in on it joke?

Just one thing.I just had a look at that screw that I was told by ianmcd not to touch and that it needed to be aligned with the pipe (if I got that right) It is ,shall we say at I or 2 o' clock wrt to direction of the pipe. (ie not 12 o' clock) Should I leave it as is since the circulation is...

The hot water seems to be back now as a result of turning that screw. I heard a "whoosh" when I turned it and that may have been where the problem was.

I meant rads -not roads(bluddy autospell) At first I wanted to say that this was just the hot water as that pump just does the hot water. But ,yes I have downstairs rads that work from the same boiler but from a different pump. Sorry for that.

I took the nut off where you bleed it to get a better flow. The water went everywhere but that was no problem. So the radiator didn't empty. I was doing that because half of my (very ancient) downstairs radiators don't work and this system of "forcing a strong bleed" has worked for me in the...

I bled a downstairs radiator **yesterday (full pressure) and must have emptied the expansion tank by mistake. Only half of them are heating

Well ,there are two pumps attached to it.One does hot water and the other does the downstairs radiators.

So do I just give it time to bleed itself? I must have let air in the system draining a downstairs radiator yesterday. Did turn the screw in the second pic and some water seeped out and I noticed an effect at the cylinder... Waiting now to see if it will heat fully

Where exactly is that ? Is it facing me as I look at the main dial?, Above the pump-? Along the pipe? I will try to post a pic if this site will let me
