    Fan comes on

    OK agreed. It would get stuck either on or off and stay that way.

    Fan comes on

    My opinion - Probably a faulty coolant temperature sensor, but could be a faulty fan relay that is getting stuck.

    New patio doors letting water in, installer says it's fine

    The manufacturer or the installer said it's fine? If it's the installer it's probably a fob off.

    Number of cold radiators

    I'm not a huge fan of the power flush, as it's expensive and won't necessarily work. Personally, before I did anything I would try fiddling around with the lockshield and flow valves in various combinations, to see if there was any way I could get heat into the radiators. After that, I...

    Flashing for lean to greenhouse

    My view - I was thinking some lightweight non-lead flashing. The flashing should come down off the wall, and then go over the top of the greenhouse for a few inches to ensure water runs off down the roof.

    Flashing for lean to greenhouse

    You need a much better design to prevent water flowing straight down the wall and into the wood. I don't know what the answer is but I can see why you've been having problems with the present design. It does need much better flashing. I would take a look at bay window roof designs to get some...

    Number of cold radiators

    Could be a blockage, could just be a balancing issue. With a manifold, it may be the case that the system has been designed poorly so it's relatively difficult for water to flow to some of the radiators. I would agree with above that a blockage is the most likely. Have you been using...

    6 months. WTF

    It's because it suits vested interests the way it is.

    Hangovers

    There is a vast array of alcohol-free beers now available, from all the top brands, so maybe try some of them, as I'm sure you'll find something you like.

    Hangovers

    You identified the best cure in your first post, which is not to drink. Just switch to non-alcoholic beer or another non-alcoholic drink. I was never a big drinker but I gave up drinking approx 15 years ago. Can't say I've missed it at all. If you want to improve your health then giving up...

    Asbestos in ceiling

    The issue with asbestos is that if asbestos fibres are inhaled into the lungs, they cannot be cleared out of the lungs, they just sit in the lungs, and eventually (20+ years) this can trigger a mesothelioma lung cancer. So if you had a few significant big exposures to asbestos, with a high...

    Asbestos in ceiling

    If there wasn't much dust, then no. Breaking it would not generate many fibres. Also, asbestos is less dangerous when it is bound into other products, e.g. a tile. If you had a dangerous form of asbestos, in its raw form, and were taking an angle grinder to it in an enclosed space, that...

    Asbestos in ceiling

    Did this generate a high concentration of fibres in the air? (Rather than plasterboard dust). It seems unlikely to me.

    Asbestos in ceiling

    It's impossible to tell from these pictures alone. If it's been boarded over and the boards plastered, it is effectively sealed off. This means it can't be abraded, so no airbourne fibres can be generated, and they couldn't travel past the plaster anyway. So, I don't see any reason why it...

    Post some pics if you want opinions on whether it might be asbestos. However, it sounds like horse hair to me.

    Rain ingress through side of bay window

    I can see pipes going into the wall from the outside, what are they for? The wall looks very wet in the pics. If this is the case, it suggests a pipe leak rather than a water ingress.
