    OLD BACK BOILER CH DIVERTER VALVE/ TANK STAT?

    Thanks Ian that makes things a bit clearer. We've had a electrician fit a new wall timer and it seems to have a mind of its own and dont want to call him back until we know its not us getting it wrong.

    best outdoor camera for gutter surveillance

    thing is by the time a switch is activated its too late as thats because the outlet is blocked. When it hammers down like the other week its so much water and our outlet carries water from 3 roofs so will fill up in seconds. I definitely would find something I could check that the outlet is...

    best outdoor camera for gutter surveillance

    I need a single outdoor camera (daytime only) to cover a parapet gutter exit point as ours blocked up and flooded the loft! It needs to be fitted and forgotten so a good make. Would be bolted/ screwed to the brickwork and open to the elements. I would also need it to transmit pics to my phone as...

    Stretching things too far?

    the original people complaining may want to consider that some mortgage lenders stipulate no DSS tenants so sometimes nothing to do with what a LL wants.

    Which magazine boiler repair costs

    service guy had his head in our Valiant Ecotec this week and said his firm far prefers Valiant as opposed to Worcs as Valiant much easier to work on and therefore cheaper to repair due to less labour cost.

    Change is coming (bad news for Gasbag)

    buying your first house - impossible!

    yep Unis for the masses now. Our Sons off in Sept, he's applied to 3 Unis. One of them offered him a place without even an interview so very low barrier to entry.

    best quality normal brush but one with synthetic bristles quite stiff and springy. The only thing with painting a panelled door that I found tricky was that the edges didnt keep wet for long so that when I did the rails I had to stop the paint where the rail end joined the stile. By the time I...
