Haven't had time to take off and flush exchanger today but did switch heating on to observe. The CH seems to work fine - I can adjust the temp with the dial on the front and the boiler acts accordingly heating the water to about the temp I set then stopping. The first few minutes were...

Well it depends on what you mean by habitable - if you mean the ability to walk around in a loft without hindrance, then yes its habitable - as that's all I want to do - and I will need to access the boxes often (prob once a week) so I will be walking around on the floor a bit. so can i do...

Hi all thanks for all the help. just to update I ended up getting a roofer in who sorted it all with nice shiny UPVC and fixed the roof tiles. good job, well done by someone who new a lot more than me!!

Hi! here is my current loft layout. It is pretty close to scale. the legend gives some further info. the joists are currently 3" x 2". I want to use the space to house about 100 50cm cubed boxes full of eduaction papers. I'm pretty certain the current floor will not be strong...

No I haven't actually tested the water temp with a thermometer - could well be worth doing. But I guess that doesn't change the way the boiler has to activate what i think is a safety cut out at 85 degrees. I'll take the exchanger off tommorrow, flush it through and report back. thanks

Thanks for such speedy responses! If I take off the secondary heat exchanger and flush it through with mains pressure cold water is that likely to help or is a new exchanger required? would the symptom of the DHW temp dial not affecting the actual tap temp also correlate to the exchanger...

Hi I have just moved into a house with an Vaillant 824/2 E boiler. Heating seems to work fine DHW was only getting luke warm. I noticed the CH flow pipe was getting hot when DHW was operated so changed to Diverter Valve. this seem to have solved the CH flow pipe problem and now DHW get...

Thanks for the replies. So i got up there today and the sliding up method seemed to work a treat but typically I've opened a can of worms cause it became apparent my eaves felt has rotted quite badly due to some equally bad fascias. So now I'm thinking i need to do a proper job and replace the...

Hi, So, I've got a few broken concrete tiles on my roof. - They are interlocking. - There is no offset on each row. - The broken ones are not nailed I get it that I need to wedge up the tile the the side to release the overlap/interlocking bit BUT in order to release the broken tile...
