It has all the signs of persistently being damp. Reason is fine as it comes and goes, but a wall that's always wet will start to look messy... Like yours. Water is definitely running down from the top from somewhere, in a slow seep. I think you said water pools above... That is a very likely 2+2...

No, it isn't. I've shown a photo of the water running down that threaded metal section at the front. I sat and watched it yesterday for a bit and after drying that bit I could see water start to seep into the thread from above - this IS how the water is arriving into the tray, the plastic pipe...

To repeat myself, that's not where the water is coming from (and the condensate pipe was already inspected since that's where he originally thought/hoped the problem was) I found a manual diagram and marked it since photos are tricky - it's not so far as I can tell from the venturi but the...

Don't worry I'm not touching anything. I'm only going as far as removing the external cover to try and see where the leak is (with it turned off at the mains), and to keep it dry until the plumber can get here. I have no intention of trying to fix it or do anything else myself but it was 1/2...

In fact it's actually damp above the thread. Hard to get a good photo but it seems it's not maybe the thread leaking but something higher up?

So we thought this was a bit better as no leaks and far fewer problems so I've been lax at getting someone out, but it's clearly still wet and now starting to get messy. I am 90+% sure the water is coming from this threaded section below the main combustion unit, you can see the thread is...

We have a garden room built on top of an old half-cellar (underground one side only due to slope). The floor is a concrete slab built on a steel girder framework inside the cellar and it is sucking all the heat out - leave the heating off overnight and it's down to single figures by morning. A...

For wood your local builder's merchant might be best. There are a couple of national companies specialising in railway sleepers of various types but I don't think there's any magic cheap option unless you luck out on Facebook Marketplace. I'm a fan of reclaimed oak but they are harder to find...

Now surely you can answer that. You probably need a local supplier for something this heavy so get Google out... wood are going to be easier to find. Note softwood are not rated to last decades, plastic presumably will be around in a century though a bit tatty by then.

Meadows still need cutting and now that's going to need a bigger mower. If the OP wanted a wildlife meadow or to get rid of the lawn they probably would have said. OP how steep and uneven is the slope? This makes a huge difference. As does, how pristine and neat do you want - a sort of grassy...

Yeesh. Ok boomer

I kind of thought that was the case... Not a nice job the way people treat skips! They are welcome to the money they charge

I always wondered with skips, does someone have to sort it all or does it just get taken to the dump?

If you're a prat, why not just fly-tip it?

Whenever I hire a skip they say PB is on the no-no list along with car tyres and part-filled paint cans, they let you put a little bit on top but that's it. How are you supposed to get a skip for a larger amount... like if you are rippling out a whole room/house to renovate?

If a website requires me to install additional software just to use it properly, it's a **** website. And anyway, many people don't close their browser all the time. It stays open in constant use. Not to mention mobile users, etc. It's just shoddy.

This site has by far the largest and most unfriendly cookie consent panel I've ever seen. It takes up half the screen on my PC and I still have to scroll... furthermore there is no obvious "essential only" option I can see, and you default to every single thing being turned on. To disable things...

The plumber's thought previously (if I understood him) was if the condensate pipe was blocked it could back up into the boiler? But like I said that was already checked so my query is how to find where the leak is, since it doesn't drip anywhere when it's turned off, and when it's all wet...

Thanks - sorry I forgot to add the type (Baxi duo tec Combi). I haven't noticed it dripping when the boiler isn't running but as I've mentioned in a previous thread before we have ongoing issues with water appearing in the 'top' chamber behind the main removable front cover. We thought it might...

We've recently had our condensate pipe replaced and rerouted as it has issues, it was bodged into the gutter and now runs down the side of the house so I can see it. My boiler is running and I can see a constant flow of water... Not a solid stream but almost, certainly a very fast drip. Is this...
