Very disappointing. I really appreciate your help on here and won't pester you anymore. Tomorrow's plan of action (where we are at least around when he does it this time) is to point out the issues again relatively nicely so he finishes the job and if afterwards we still have issues we will...

Apologies, final question as I don't have a clue. The day he put the colour on he painted from 8am-12 midday and he said he did two coats but the b&q paint says leave 4 hours between coats! Does this mean he done this wrong as well and he couldn't possibly have done two proper coats in 4 hours...

Thanks blightymam, this is invaluable info. Gutted that it seems my really good plaster job doesn't matter jack **** now if it could potentially chip and peal. Is this chipping and pealing a long term issue like it might happen in a few years and if so do you then replaster or somehow remove the...

Thanks very much for the info. I'm assuming now that it's too late and there is no going back? We have him back on Monday as the white underneath is coming through his two coats of b&q paint. I hope that isn't due to the lack of a mist coat :-( He is blaming the paint although we asked him to...

Hi, I recently got a bedroom plastered which looked really well done. We left it dry for a week and the painter has now put dulux supermatt straight on without diluting it at all. I trusted him on this as he said it was fine before he started but now after seeing the final finish and the...

Thanks, thought it might be

Hi, I am looking to buy this house and was wondering from the picture can you see if it would be possible to convert the loft to a home cinema room potentially? https://www.dropbox.com/s/c5qhj0zb5wn7olf/24260_JHP03656_IMG_00_0000_max_620x414.JPG I guess I can arrange another viewing...

Thanks for the info and I see what you saying now by subservient after doing an image search. I guess it does make the house less imposing that way so maybe that is why the planners want it. Cheers

Hi, I am looking at buying a house currently and before I put in an offer I wanted to know if I could potentially extend the house without any major planning problems. I know I have to go through a whole process but maybe someone on here did something similar already. Anyone on here who...

Just so I make sure i am turning the correct thing this is my set up. The first pic are the pipes leading up into the boiler. The valve in that picture on pipe 4 I cant turn as it seems literally welded in position and I have never moved it. This same pipe connection, pipe 4 for the cold...

4th pipe from 1st pic continued and seems to be going outside. This is what i am turning

Thanks for the reply. I cant isolate the shower unfortunately. I did shut off the cold water connection valve downstairs but it didnt make a difference as everything was still cold. I did just notice now though that the tap downstairs is no longer piping hot (as it was at one point...

Thanks Jordon, Just an update I notice that the sink upstairs can get quite hot then fades again to tepid even on small flow. I tried your tip to run the hot tap downstairs with the heating off and then felt the pipes. The results where that the 1st pipe on the left seems to be roasting...

Thanks for the info, I will give that a try tonight. Can you tell me if the Cold Water valve as I mentioned previously should be open fully or closed fully in normal operation? Thanks

Hi, I am having some trouble with my heating system which according to the manual is a Vaillant Turbo Max VUW 242/1e or 282/1e with instructions here: http://www.acwilgar.co.uk/Boiler-Manual-PDF/Vaillant/Turbomax%20VUW%20242E%20282E.pdf Trying to recollect the sequence of events I...
