Hi, I have just finished painting a very large gable end. When it dried I noticed that it has verticle lines down it. I understand the importance of keeping a wet edge, but how is this achieved? And whats more how do you keep a wet edge on such a large area? Any help would be very helpful...

Hi all I am having problems with our ARISTON Combi A 24 MFFI boiler. It has been losing pressure and cutting out. I guess it cuts out cause it has lost pressure. An error code comes up E 02. which means 'Pump Protect'. So, I am guessing that to protect the pump it is cutting out when it loses...

Great help. Thank you Can some one explain the following... 7n dense concrete blocks will be fine for the task but will only perform as a single skin structure.

Hi. No its on the house, but out of sight. Like I said it sis only a small area. I am assuming that it is single skin. Are there no blocks that are water repellant then?

So, I can confirm that the cable is big enough. its at least 10mm But why is it that the proteus website does not have a 40A m6 mcb. Are these not made? And for what reason would I not be able to stand the unit off from the wall? Thanks for the replies folks. Keep them coming.

Hi, leave it be. The moss is not doin your roof any harm, well it's very unlikely. You must live in a clean air environment. Lichen and I think moss cannot grow in poor air. Hope that helps. Just one thought though. If you ever decide to go on your roof, especially in or after wet weather, even...

Good advice there Roofer. MartyC, no you should not chase the soakers in to the wall. The lead flashing is what you chase into the wall. And don't forget, you should never fit lead that is over 1.5m long. Hope you don't mind me jumping in there Roofer.

Hi,thanks for replying. Yes the wllpaper did bubble when it was painted, then they went down. Why does it do that?

thanks for the replies chaps

One year ago decorated our front room. New laminate floor, the works. I even took the skirtings off to do the floor properly. I refitted the skirtings, but I used putty to fill the gaps. It was fresh. I then painted over the putty, we had previously painted the skirtings out side. This saved...

I have just drained my central heating system to make a repair to a leaking valve. I sorted the leak. I Filled up the system, added some Fernox, bled the rads and then switched on the pump without firing up the boiler. No leaks, no noise. Great. But then for some reason I switched off the pump...
