Cracks and dips in our flat roof

Thanks for the advice. I'll do just that. :)

Hi, thanks for the advice, yep the new tap hoses are smaller. We have a British Gas service contract, they may come and adjust this thing for us as I'm afraid of messing things up, we could get then to check the diaphram too (whatever that is). :D By the way, where is the bhw diverter and what...

Hi, you need someone with a large router and a long straight router cutter with a following bearing which would run around a jig. They will probably make a jig from MDF if they don't already have one. This may help you to describe the job to someone but you are too far away from me to get me to...

Hi again, (long time away), I recently fitted a new monobloc kitchen tap. I have found that when you fully turn on the monobloc hot tap the boiler does not register that it needs to turn on. If you then go and turn the utility room hot tap on and off again with the kitchen one still on, this...

Are we being asked these days to have combi boilers to reduce emissions and is this leading to large houses having inappropriate boilers for their needs? I may be way off the mark here but thought I'd ask. Or is it condensing boilers they are pushing for everyone to have? Are all condensing...

Thanks for all the comments. I shall look into these things and get quotes.

A bit of background info. We had the boiler ripped out when we moved into the house and the plumber suggested a combi boiler. He removed the hot and cold tanks but we had other work done by him and were not impressed by his knowledge or skills. This has lead us to question the present setup. He...

I was confused after British Gas came round and am afraid I am still confused. I visited a local house and the owner showed me that all four bedrooms had their own shower room. If they have the same local water pressure as me how can they make this work? We only have one shower but were thinking...

If we had a conventional boiler with cold water loft tank and hot storage tank in an airing cupboard, would we solve the problem?

Thanks for the replies. I can't remember what our fow rates were but remember discussing this with the British gas guy. If we assume they are low then are we saying I can still have this 3 way valve fitted and an extra tank? If not is my only option an electric shower?

We have a busy four bedroom house with a combination boiler. If you try to have a shower you have to ensure that the dish washer and washing machine are off. You then have to ensure that nobody turns on a tap or uses the loo in the rest of the house. If they do the shower pressure drops to a...
