Thanks for the reply, very much appreciated;...the engr who did a service on the boiler (it’s 4 or 5 years old: Ideal Logic Combi ES30) about a year after my son bought the house (which was a couple of years ago) appears to have retired so I’m looking at the repair options. In view of the...

OP here with an update:...I went to my sons house today;...it’s been quite warm here (Cheshire) so the heating hadn’t been on and the rads were cold. The pressure gauge was showing approx 1.9bar. Following tp’s advice I removed the filling loop completely to check for leaks from both...

Bleedin’ell, that’s sounds ominous,...and expensive,...is it? :unsure:

Thanks tp (y);...I'l be at my sons house on monday doing a bit of double glazing work so I'll have a jiggle around with this problem while I'm there.

The filling loop/pipe looks similar to this and sits at the base of the boiler chassis adjacent to the water pressure gauge. https://i.postimg.cc/DmFN3Nqm/ideal-combi-loop.jpg[/img][/URL] I might try running the C/H with the cold water mains stopcock shut-off completely and leave the filling...

Thanks so much for the reply tp;...yes, it's defo the prv outlet,...it comes through the wall in exactly the right place,...can't be anything else. The lack of pressure drop is the thing that's puzzling me;...it's just a standard 3 bed detached house with 10 rads in total and I know for a fact...

My son has an Ideal Logic Combi ES30 boiler and the it would appear that the external pipe from the pressure relief valve has been dripping constantly for quite some time...several weeks at least. His wife noticed the dripping a few weeks ago but didn’t think anything of it as she’s aware that...

Thanks for that;...would these be suitable? 125mm or 115mm https://www.screwfix.com/p/segmented-diamond-grinding-cup-125-x-22-2mm/4108v https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075D6WN3L/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3T2ZAM7SIQZ9A&psc=1

Thanks for that;...would both types of disc give a nice smooth finish?

Grinding/shaping sharp ‘concrete’ edges??? My drive is block paved and part of it is a few inches higher than the surrounding area. The paving blocks in this particular area are retained by a lengths of concrete edging. However, the outside edges of the concrete edging-strips are 90 degrees...

Thanks for the reply. If the electrician fitted a garage consumer unit at the end of the ‘spur’ would that make it a ‘notifiable’ job which in turn would mean added administrative expense?

Many thanks for the reply winston. With regard to the FCU:...where would it be sited?...inside the house next to the socket?... or in the garage itself?

External Garage needs leccy. My son would like to run mains electricity to his brick-built garage at the rear of his house;...a double-socket and lighting would suffice. The garage sits parallel to the back-wall of his house and the gap between the two is about 9 metres. His house is 20 years...

OP here;...many thanks for the swift and detailed replies;...really appreciated. Sage advice indeed! We now have a much better understanding of what’s required. The ‘Trojancast reinforced range’ looks particularly appealing;...my daughter is seriously considering this one...

My daughter needs a new bath: Single ended bath plus side-panel, 1700mm x 700mm, no pre-drilled tap holes. However, we are a little confused about which size thickness of bath is most suitable. For example, she likes this bath Carron bath but the thickness mentions ‘standard’ and...

My daughter wants me to replace the laminate floor ‘beading’ in her bedroom. The flooring itself is still perfect but the beading is severely damaged in parts. She lives 120miles from me and I want to make sure we have the correct kit before I start. She’ll be buying Scotia beading from B&Q...

...what exactly did you write to cause such awful frightfulness? :eek:

Many thanks for the extremely detailed and comprehensive reply;...very much appreciated.(y)

I have a new kitchen/diner extension (approx 40 sq.mtrs) that needs flooring. I have no experience whatsoever of LVT but I’m told it is a better/warmer option than laminate flooring or ceramic tiles. However, I’ve noticed that the LVT seems to be very thin (i.e. 5mm) compared to most laminates...

OP here,...update for anyone remotely interested. My 6-page ‘Electrical Installation Certificate’ (from certsure.com) and my 2-page ‘Building Control Compliance certificate’ (from niceiconline.com) both appeared in my email inbox yesterday afternoon within minutes of each other. Just managed...
