No, the quotes so far have been for an unvented cylinder. Last one was a Gledhill 120l combination tank.

Bugger, missed the responses again. Must look into getting notifications set up for replies. That's what I've been told it is by visiting engineers Boiler is an Ideal Classic LXFF. Good cold water pressure and flow. Detatched, do have an attic.

Bumping in the hope anyone has any further thoughts.

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying. Wasn't getting notified. Here's some pics of what we have.

Thanks for the reply. Just feels like a tad on the high side. I wondered if it was because we were getting quotes the same time for replacing with a combi. These came back fairly reasonable, ~£3k. Just seems like a lot of extra work to put in a combi, for not a high increase. (Combi would...

Hi, Just looking for a little guidance. We've got a 3 bed detached house. 1 bathroom, 1 ensuite. We have an old thermostore? HW cylinder that is scaled up and needs replacing. We've been looking at getting quotes, we've weighed up the option of replacing with a combi, but I'm pretty settled...

I did wonder whether the plastic sheeting might cause an issue. With regards to the throughflow, I'm just not that sure we get much. The pitch of our roof runs opposite direction to the two neighbours and I wonder if any decent throughflow is being cut down by their proximity. I'm switching the...

Just to update the progress. Been up in the loft and cleared all the eaves. Insulation now stops at the top of the wall cavity and there is a clear view from the loft to the soffit vents. (Can see daylight all round). I was mistaken about the mice and chewed up insulation. It is actually cavity...

Thanks for responses. So yesterday made sure that the insulation was pulled right back from the eaves. It had these plastic eaves vents which I guess allowed some airflow but I figured pulling it back further wouldn't hurt. There was a couple a places where it looked like mice might have been...

I've read that one. Helpful, but doesn't quite answer the specific question of the wall extractor and whether that would be causing an issue though.

Hi, Like many others I'm sure, I've gone into the loft to fetch the xmas decs and found condensation on the inside of one side of the roof. (We only moved in a year ago) It's only on one side, but it's the side the has the most heating (stairs on the other side) and I'm trying to determine...

great read, interested to see how it finishes up!

I've just built a shed. 2x3 frame, sterling board sides (already coated in a shed/fence preserver) and the featheredge boards on top of that. The featheredge boards are green rough sawn type from Wickes, pressure treated. Now I want to give the whole thing a coat of preserver, but I want...

I put decking down about 3-4 years ago. After the first year i painted it with an awful paint type stain. Never again, as it flakes and looks terrible. You can try a mixture of bleach/washing powder/hot water. Scrub that in and it seems to clean really well. Read that somewhere, and tried...

thanks for the replies and suggestions. I went with polystyrene in the end. Time will tell how effective it is. Cheers!

Well this one only comes in a minimum thickness of 50mm hence why I was asking :roll: Yes, it's mineral wool, I'll drop by tomorrow and have a look, hopefully will be able to tell!

Hi, I've just built a shed, and I am looking at insulating it before timber cladding the interior. I'm looking at the different options to insulate, and originally was considering polystyrene and then came across Wickes general Purpose Slab Insulation. This stuff is 50mm thick. Does...

Thanks for the replies. Decided to rethink it and I'm going the route of a shed office in the garden! Thanks!

I live in a 2 bed terrace house. I am doing a bit more work from home lately so I am considering converting the loft space into something a bit more useable. I do not want to do a full dormer conversion and will only be looking at a single (maybe two) velux windows. At the moment my desk is...

Hi, I have a tiles effect laminate flooring in my kitchen. I have some scratches where an old chair leg used to sit (replaced with foam padded ones now) and it has scratched the surface. Does anyone have any idea as to what would be a good product to fill in the scratches / scuffs? The...
