Sorry , should have said it's a combi system. Thanks for the response.

Hi Putting in a new radiator and need to move the pipe work a bit and install a new valve. How do I ensure that water flowing to the radiator is turned off so I won't pour out when I change the valve etc? Thanks

Cheers. Yes marks are inside. Was going to replace them anyway but nice to have confirmation

Yeah, looks a bit like the one in the 2nd image although more pronounced on mine.

Is that more visible?

I'll take a better picture in the day time tomorrow

Not really. Just looks like water marks more than anything

Hi, Moved in to a new house and the double glazing has regular horizontal lines on the panes that won't clean off . wondering if these have blown perhaps? Not sure how visible it is in the picture Thanks

Hi, I think it was built in the 1950s and yes, the owner has installed upvc windows. Based on what you said, how big a job is that likely to be?

Hi Buying a new property and the surveyor has highlighted cracks surrounding the soldier bricks which from my limited research seem to suggest the boot lintel has rotated. From the photo, can anyone advise whether this would be a case of renewing the lintel or patching up the mortar work? Cheers

Thanks for the advice. Any recommendations where is good to buy? Found this on ebay but unsure if a decent price or not? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ariel-Dry-Fixing-GRP-Valley-Trough-3M/163770306633?hash=item2621789049%3Ag%3AMgkAAOSwWk1eIFXm&LH_BIN=1

Yes, it's not massive. The bodge job was a stop gap until I got new tiles bought but do you think that's responsible for the overflow? Ta

Hi, As the title says, when there's heavy rain, it pours down the valley and floods over the corner guttering. This has meant the exterior wall has got wet and has soaked through to he interior wall. I have seen diverters for sale or it there a better option available? Thanks

Cheers Dan. Yeah, the tank is pretty ancient - guess it dates from the 80s when the flats were built.

I should have said that this is in a block of flats so I guess the float valve etc that you mentioned must be in the top of the building somewhere - would that be right? Cheers

Hello, As you can see in my first pic I have had excessive leaks from this outdoor pipe which appears to connect to my hot water tank. Is this the pressure overflow pipe? If so, can someone please give me some advice about how to go about fixing it. Thanks in advance

Thanks John. Yes the wiring was adequate to support 40a. He's returning on Monday to upgrade the rcbo so will ensure he does as you suggest.

Hi, Electricians been out. Quoted £20 for call out charge, £25 for labour and whatever a new 40a rcbo is going to cost. Wiring is okay so he's just going to upgrade it. Does that seem alright price wise? Thanks

It worked fine for a couple of years until the past few weeks when it exhibits the behaviour I mentioned. To your point, isn't that working on the assumption that the cabling is sound? I'm going to get someone in to test it. Thanks for all your advice

Previ Previous owner must have I guess. Is it possible to put a 40Amp breaker in place of the 32a one?
