Thanks for your response, we did have remedial works, to the enclave of the left side of the chimney breast, a couple of the joists had rotted, due the outside grounds being higher than the dpc. This has now been resolved, ground works lowered below the dpc, and poured some concrete to prevent...

I’m in the process of painting and decorating downstairs and have noticed this damp patch on the chimney breast. The wall used to be covered with wallpaper, and a few months ago, I stripped the wallpaper and had the wall re-skimmed. Ever since I had the chimney breast re-skimmed, I’ve noticed...

Morning guys, I hope you guys can give me some advice on the best to fill the edge of the window board (mdf). I was thinking perhaps use a two part wood filler all the way up the edge of the window wall. Once dry and sanded back, cut 1mm away and fill with a flexible non shrink caulk to stop...

Hello, Anyone know the build regs for chasing copper pipes vertical - is it 1/3 or 1/6 of the external wall? thanks

Thank you, that makes sense!

Hello. Can anyone recommend a way to prevent cracks from re-appearing when filtering in, on the window board near the edges (as it meet with the internal wall). I have used Ronseal white wood filler, which states that’s it flexible, however Im seeing cracks appear after a few weeks. I would...

Unfortunately, I am still experiencing the same random issue - I've added a link to the popping noise. I've also reached out to Baxi, to see what they make of it.

@Gasguru the new cylinder was installed a couple of months ago in September, it would have been regenerated then, however I too have performed this a few weeks back by following the instructions below. turn off water, at the lowest point - draw the hot water, whilst holding pressure relief...

Here is pic of my setup - perhaps it may yield a clue...

Just rechecked, its one of those JG Speedfit MDPE Stop Taps 25mm , Ive managed to open it a few more degrees.

thank you @flameport , @Gasguru for your responses.

I've tried to see, if I can replicate the noise, by running all the taps, both hot and cold and flushing the w/c - no noise this time, however its does not happen all the time, its more prevalent at night time. The noise is like a metallic pop noise, which sounded like the issue I had...

The cylinder is a warranty replacement from Baxi, as the original cylinder was making a popping noise - when the boiler was heating the water, however that cylinder did not make the noise I’m experiencing now (pop noise coming from the cylinder after drawing hot water for a min or two) - The...

thanks, @Gasguru is this an issue - should I be concerned about, inlet is balanced and flow rate is is greater than 20l..

Hello, Im hoping someone can shed some light, on a small (not loud) popping noise thats coming from the unvented cylinder, when hot water is drawn. It doesn't happen every time, however I've noticed it happens - when the hot water has not been drawn in a while (a couple of hours). tia.

is that considered good?

They still need to measure the pressure at the mains, I will chase up on that, however pressure at my external tap is 3.5 bar. I'm glad they have changed the communication pipe over to 25mm though. :D

lo and behold, Thames Water are outside - re-digging up the pavement!

I believe you may be correct!

I should perhaps be more clearer 1. communication pipe is 22mm black poly 2. within the boundary of my property, its 25mm blue poly 3. 22mm copper, however there is some 22mm Hep20 piping, which then leads to 22mm copper thats connected to the balanced cold (3 bar)
