A couple of questions for the wise if I may. My daughter is buying her first house and I went round to cast my critical eye on it today. I noticed the boiler flue was very much out of sorts and it started ringing alarm bells. As you can see from the pictures it looks like the...

Can anyone quote me the Uv value of a 28mm infill panel. I am thinking of replacing some windows in our conservatory with infill panels to reduce the amount of glazing and hopefully some heat loss. I've considered the loss of light but as the windows in question are adjacent to a 6' fence...

I have my boiler condensate pipe pipe running down the side of my house into the drain. It crosses a 40mm waste pipe at 45Degrees. This 40mm pipe comes from the kitchen sink and it all looks unsightly and a bit heath robinson. My question is can I connect it into the 40mm kitchen sink waste...

In May this year I splashed (excuse the pun) on a Dolphin Bathrooms Ensuite consists of Double shower tray, basin and WC. On the whole I am pretty satisfied but there has been a few teething problems. Firstly there is a leak in the corner where you step into the shower. It is dripping down...

Hi chaps, sorry to spring a first post problem on you. I had a Heatline VIZO 24HE retro fitted to replace my old back boiler last October. To be honest it has been brilliant (apart from long DHW pipe run) until recently when it has developed a DHW problem. Problem started with DHW running...
