Aye, and that can only be checked on site by measuring it. I've since understood what the difference between At Risk and Immediate Disconnection - I didn't realise there was a difference. I can live with At risk, as i can self clear it within an afternoon by dismantling the shed. I thought the...

Hi. The Survey was for the roof only, i didn't get a homebuyers. I've since found the appropriate rules/regs I was looking for: Section 7.13 of http://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/pdf/GIUSP_Edition_Consumer_web_site_Version_-_2_April_12.pdf where 7.13 Unsatisfactory flue termination...

Its a top hung window, and I can imagine its been bowed. I'll get a spirit level out and check. Thanks.

Sorry should of been clearer. Its the side opposite the hinges.

Thanks for the clarification, I had an argument about the building regs compliance for s different bit of the house, don't think he realised what he was doing with most of this stuff. I didn't get a home buyer, had the mortgage company survey and then a full structural survey due to some...

Hi I have 2 top guided window that has a central mushroom that's hitting the frame, one significantly worse than the other. What can I do to stop this happening? Pictures of the the better of the two windows shown, i curently have a sleeping child in the room with the worse window.

Hi. Just moved into a house with old ish DG windows and I can feel a small breeze coming through the windows and I can hear birds clearly. Pulling the vertically hinged window CV closed stops this. The window mech on this window seems free moving. The seal looks new, so looks like its been...

Indeed it does, but if I'm not allowed to put any external bends into the flue then it's not an option to do what I wanted, as I can't go straight up internally as that is where all the pipework is fitted. I'm trying to work out if I can shift the shed sideways 115mm sideways to meet the...

OK thanks for that. Agreed it should be easier to move the shed half a meter which was the original plan,but it is concreted into the ground so moving it actually means destroying it, it's 10 ft by 8ft and full :-( yes, I get corgi and gas safe confused. Ah well, if the bank holiday is...

Must had a local company quote me £90 + vat for the vertical flue kit and £35 for a 93 degree bend. Would be really interested if you guys think this could be safely used to replace/extend the existing rear flue with this.

Thanks. I had missed that that one was 2 x females, all the others i looked at were 1 x male, 1 x female. Bit longer than hopped for, but should be able to hide it. That'll make the current female dishwasher happy...

I've had a dig about and there is also a cold water tank in the attic, so guessing that the shower is driven from that, ( would also explain why the shower always seems quite hot), assuming that the hot water pressure is used to draw the cold through. The "shower" pump is used to pump all...

Yes, it's a single story. Any ideas where i might be able to find a vertical flue kit, and would it be possible to fit this to the existing fluework, and my understanding is that this requires CORGI cert to fit it? The manual implies that vertical flue kits should come out the top of the boiler...

Its one of these. Yes, its also got a small leak by all accounts!

That's my expected starting point, which I'm trying to avoid. Picture of installation... Just taken the cover off, its a baxi solo 3 pfl 60

i'll check this evening.

Hi. I've just moved into a house where there is a a Baxi boiler ( not a combi) installed into a garage that is directly exhausting onto a shed, and the shed has signs of heat damage on it. My original plan was to move the shed, but that's not as easy as I had hoped as they placed it down on...

Yep, i'll get details of it this evening.

Morning. I've moved to a new house where to get the shower running i have to turn the tap in the bathroom on enough for the pump to detect the drop in pressure and start up, then i can use the shower happily ( about 3 seconds) Even the cold water doesn't run with much pressure until the...

Hi. I recently moved house, and disconnected the dishwasher waste pipe at the wrong part of the extension joint, meaning that I have now got 2 male waste unions - one from the dishwasher pipe, one from the undersink trapwork. All i seem to be able to find is the male unions...
