how do you carry out a spillage test on a wood burning stove? Do you just warm the flue up, bung a smoke bomb in, shut the door and check no smoke escapes from the applaince and flue system? Many thanks

I am thinking of installing a wood burning stove in my house and wondered if anyone could give me some advice on how to install it please. I was planning on dropping a 6" twin wall flexible flue down and backfilling with vermiculite. My Stove is 6" flue outlet so vitreous enamel from there with...

put some pics in my images for you to see. its been raining here now for 36 hours and no sign of water through the roof. Really confused , think it maybe condensation cos since i took down celotex from between joist there has not been so much as a drip of water. What is weird though is there is...

have you got any radiators or is it all under floor? could be an air lock? what is the system pressure at?

Thanks for your post alittlerepect and you are right a warm roof was not possible due to restricted head height in the loft room which is why the celotex is going between the joists of the roof and not sandwiched ontop of the joists. A vapour barrier however I have only just heard of in your...

Changed board today and all sorted. Never come across that fault before but will remember it now. Change the board if you haven't already. Good luck

Sorry Tuck haven't had a chance to take photos in the light yet but tomorrow mill do. My flat roof is on a loft conversion dormer that I have built and the flat roof actually runs pretty much level with the ridge bean of the existing roof. There is no turned up matt at this point so that maybe...

i am a plumber but not familiar with the system you have. But is there a room thermostat for the under floor and can you see a pump any where. Try spinning the pump it may be seized.

Thanks Tuck your a star but don't want to inconvenience you but thanks again! I glued the trims down with grip fill and nailed them with 50mm galv nails. I actually ran the matt up and completely over the edge trims and at the front over so it is about 2 inch from touching the gutter. At the...

yes, can get some pics. I have got a proper moulded raised edge on either side and a proper moulded drip into the gutter at the front. Admitadly i did not have enough of any of the moulded pieces and in a panic I ploughed on regardless hoping i could mould some fibre glass to continue these...

I got the same fault on exactly same boiler at the moment. I think it is the pcb and I am changing it soon. Will let you know how i get on

i know, i was thinking that myself. What if you add too much catalyst? does it cause any problems?

not sure to be honest but was supplied with the resin from the roofing supplies people. It was quite thick though I would estimate about 3mm or something

Thanks for your replies. I did wonder if it was condensation but the joists are well ventilated and the borads were really wet from underneath but it did sem to be concentrated on the left and right sides.....I wonder if it is anything to do with the moulded raised edges and mabybe it is...

Thanks Tuck for your reply. I did everything that you just said. I used winter catalyst and added 4 % to it. I warmed up the resin by leaving it in the aring cupbaord for a few hours before application. I used pre-moulded edges and corners. It didn't rain. The ridge tiles sit over leadflashing...

Thanks to both for replying, much appreciated. I am pretty sure it is rain water because it is really wet in places and bone dry in others. I used a metal ridged roller to spread out the resin on the fibre glass. I actually poured the resin on the roof and then lay the mat ontop and then...

Hi I have recently fibre glassed a flat roof on a new dormer loft conversion I am building and i have just notice today that the sterling boards are extremely wet in places! I have no previous experience with fibre glass but i felt with a bit of research it was possible to do it myself(maybe...
