    Garden - Time to start again

    If the location of the deck is Cardiff, as the posters profile suggests, then I believe the 300mm max height limit does not apply in wales see http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/decking/ and change the drop down in the top right to see the differences between english...

    Have I had Cavity Wall insulation?

    If there is no obvious bulging to the walls, I wouldn't worry about it. I think a lot of mortgage company surveys request wall ties are replaced as part of a purchase. They normally come to this decision purely by the age of the property, not the actual condition the ties are in. The...

    Slipping purlin

    whistling baxi combi instant 105he

    Definitely sounds like the diverter valve. My boiler does it too. I have proved this by removing the actuator head and wiggling the diverter pin. I can change the pitch of the whistling, and make it stop all together by doing this.

    the t-con board is under the arrowed metal plate. replacing is fairly straighforward, but you have to be careful with the zif connectors as they are easily broken. Have a read up on zif connectors on google.

    New Boiler Making Loud Clicking Sound - Is The Flue Right?

    That looks like a plume diverter kit. Installed a bit strangely though. Is there a parallel wall opposite yours with the flue within a couple of metres? Not sure about the clicking, does sound like it could be expansion/contraction noises. When the boiler comes on, does the clicking start...
