Thanks very much. I shall try this work this week or probably next week and update accordingly. Is there anything that I need to be aware before I start this work? Many thanks.

Noted. When joining the side panel to the front panel, I presume, they'd have to be either mitered or are there any end/edge covers available for the wood or plastic cladding?

Yes it is a metal angle strip around the edge of the roof. What I'll try to do is remove the nails from the side panel and see if I can remove the wooden cladding . If the wood is not damaged, I'll give it a quick sand and paint it. If the wood is damaged, then I'll see if I can find a...

Did you mean by something likethis? https://www.eurocell.co.uk/fascia-and-soffits/soffit-boards/white-soffit-board/sb300mp-white-recycled-hollow-soffit-board-length-5m-x-width-300mm

Thanks Harry, I think looking at the material, it looks like its a wooden shiplap cladding. I am not sure how this is attached to the structure itself. I can see some rusted nails on the woodwork, which suggests that there is a wooden piece at the back to which these wooden cladding pieces are...

Hi forum, I am hoping to replace the wooden cladding at the front of my house (on a garage) that is damaged over the course of time. I am hoping if you can clarify my confusion. 1. Is the existing material a cladding or Fascia? 2. If this is cladding material, then can I replace this with a...

Hi ianmcd, I apologise for the error. The flue is a horizontal flue that goes out off the wall on which the boiler is mounted.

Hi guys, So, I enquired with the insurance company and decided to get an external EV fitted. Apparently you can get flat ones that stay hidden. I presume this is the one that the engineer will be fitting. If not, then that's another battle I have to have with the insurance company. anyways, now...

@fixitflav The boiler is situated in one end of the kitchen above the worktop and quite close to the wall. So, I wonder if he will have space to fit the expansion vessel (flat one) externally. I may be wrong. But what I don't understand is that this doesn't fix the problem, it merely bypasses it.

@cross thread I can understand that IF the flue gets damaged during the process, then a new one is required. How can someone make an assumption before the work is even started? The flue is a vertical flue. Cheers

Hi Doogle, Yes, the engineer told the emergency company that the boiler needed to come off the wall - which I can understand (as the EV is situated behind the boiler). If this needs to be done, then I am all for it. But the flue replacement just did not sit right with me. furthermore, the...

Hi securespark, Thanks for getting back. That is exactly what I also felt when he mentioned this first. Unfortunately, I wasn't at the property and only my mum was there. I asked the emergency company that if I was to get an external gas safe registered engineer/company to have a look at this...

Hi forum, I would like to know your opinion on a recent discussion I had with my Home emergency team. Our Combi boiler (Ariston Ecombi 30) needs its Expansion Vessel to be replaced. The engineer came and suggested that the cheapest method is to install an external expansion vessel. This in my...
