Ree, I appreciate your clear feedback. We've had two guys round to see it, and one lifted the tiles around the back and reported all was well. But they both said the issue was the pointing. I saw some of their pics and the cracks did seem quite bad. The quotes they came back with were stupid...

Yeah sorry a pic would help - see attached. I did wonder about a 100mm attachment for the grinder, but still not sure it would go deep enough and I'm not too comfortable about putting a lot of lateral load on the tool. It will be fully scaffolded with two platforms so access is good, but I just...

So I need to set to and repair the mortar on out very leaky chimney. Haunching and flashing looks solid, but some of the pointing is quite badly cracked. I was going to use a 115mm rake on my grinder, but it's uneven stonework which is so proud I can't get the wheel in. So looking into grabbing...

Very good point!

I guess as you say there is no right or wrong as long as the correct procedure is followed for either setup. But I'm following your advice. I'll also add a fly/rodent screen to my tanks for peace of mind. On another note, I just spent the entire afternoon doing what should have been an easy job...

Contradict away Rob. I'm no expert for sure. But I do know Filpumps would always go well to storage, then filter to house which is what they did for me on a new installation a few years ago at a different house, and were shocked to see this setup. The correct UV should zap pretty much anything...

Thanks for your input Simon, really appreciate the time and thought that you gave cheers! With both of your opinions coming at the same angle, I may well now concentrate of sealing and insulating the existing setup. In truth, we've been here a year and have come to no harm. The cold water...

Cheers Rob, I may not have been clear. The water would be stored in the tanks direct from the well, then when demanded, would go through the filters including the UV cleaning any bugs, so the UV is the last treatment before the taps. I take your idea about correctly insulating the storage tanks...

Thanks for the reply Rob. So the deal at the moment is an odd setup. We moved in last year to find the well water was sent through a filter, then a ph correction and then through the UV but then sent to the holding tank where is was free to pick up anything that found it's way into it! The...

I'm not a first time poster here, but it's been a while and I can't find the correct login details! I'm in Scotland in a rural property and have a well water feed. Finding a plumber here is next to impossible - seriously. So I'm left with no alternative than to attempt a much needed revamp of...
