I'd first be checking where rain could be getting in around the windows. I can't see it penetrating the painted brickwork.

A lot of household chemicals are dangerous, e.g. acid toilet cleaner used with bleach (really nasty)!! And oven cleaner has the same ingredient! Also caustic soda is a strong alkali not an acid.

Well yeah, that's the whole idea, dissolves organic matter like hair! Obviously don't get it on yourself! Bleach in your eyes won't do you much good either, where would you stop?

eh?

Never tried removing solvent weld. But presume you've tried something like caustic soda to clear the blockage?

I've got the same and had never even thought about not fitting architrave as well as skirting inside.

My Lidl trouser have outlived many others. Have you actually used a pair? The Aldi pair were pretty rubbish, I'll give you that! I thought this was a DIY forum...

Neatest is probably a hole saw, pretty cheap really. Got a drill? https://www.toolstation.com/power-tool-accessories/hole-saws/c90?redirect=holesaw

I've still got some lidl trousers that have done really well. My aldi trousers failed at the seam quite quickly. My favourite trousers are Dickies which are good value. I've had a few "new" ones from ebay quite cheap.

Is it a dry ridge?

Personally unless the floor comes up easy, I'd keep the same pipe centres and fit a 1000mm type 21. You're adding a whole extra panel so the extra output should be significant. The heat loss calcs are all an approximation and they all give different values when I've used them. The pipes are...

Do you mean a hybrid sealant adhesive? Says they can be painted over, but I've never done it and also wondering how well they take paint myself as they have some flexibility.

Goodness that last picture :eek:

Yes, simple job. Brickwork looks a bit rough generally!

The PSA 1.6hdi's are well known for destroying their turbos with lack of oil changes. They are small oil capacity engines and pollute the oil quickly. I change the oil in mine twice as frequently as recommended. It's so cheap to do yourself, the biggest pain being the removing the engine guard...

That is a good point.

17.5 degrees is the minimum pitch of your tiles provided the headlap is 100mm.

Yes, looks like the type of bonding gutter they've fitted should have a mortar bed.

FYI, the pitch is the rafter pitch, not that of the tiles. If the ceiling is vaulted you can measure that.
