I have replaced the pressure sensor, got a bargain for £15.90 delivered on ebay. It has immediately fixed the pressure indicator display. First of all the pressure was set to 1.4 and the CH put on. As the water got hot the pressure rose to 1.9, and tonight it went up to 2.8 There was no...

Good question, about 10 mm, over all, in some places chunks of 20 - 25 mm, also I just remembered their hammer cracked some of the bricks clean through. There is no cavity just a wall two bricks thick (the length of one brick). Nothing holds it up except the rendering on both sides internal...

I live in an end terrace, my gable end is constructed just 2 bricks thick about 8 inches. recently we had the exterior rendering re done, they used a kango hammer chisel type thing to get the old stuff off, they took with it a good portion of the outer brick face too. There is no movement...
