Sorry to trouble you all. Replaced the copper valve under the motorised head yesterday - but the Glow-Worm hxi 38 boiler now gives an F26 code after a couple of hours. Bled all the rads and no air in them. the code book mentions return temperature thermistor- but it seems very coincidental that...

Hi all. I have ticking coming from one of the trip switches in my fuse box ! I have just finished an extension where the sparky "tagged on" a few led lights to the upstairs lighting circuit. By a process of elimination (turning everything on and off) I have isolated the ticking in the fuse trip...

Hi everyone Looking to screed a 5m x 5m floor, which will be tiled on. Are there any additives which we can add whilst we're knocking up to speed up the drying time please? If anyone has experience, please reply!!! I've read that ronascreed 8 is an additive that allows you to rule 8 days after...

Hi all, I'm in Haddenham Bucks (between Aylesbury and Oxford) and I'm hoping to find a renderer for my two storey extension. I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks, Spike

Hi everyone. My extension is plodding along, but I am concerned about matching the render. I am hoping the plasterer can sand and cement base, and then put on a cream tinted silicone type of Tyrolean (or whatever it's called these days!). The existing render top coat (2007ish) has a silicone...

Advice please! I have a 5m x 4m extension underway. Got my slab down, with the insulation boards under whacked down type 1 below the slab. My plans say to put 75mm screed down, BUT no allowance has been made for dry underfloor heating - and the bifold company are due to visit for measurements...

Me again, another weird question I hope you can advise on. Two storey extension (5m x 4m footprint). Digging out the foundations today and my builder says " don't think a crane can drop the concrete floor joists in the garden, we are gonna have to change to a poured floor" I have 3m hedges...

Hi everyone. A couple of questions that I hope you can answer please. 5 years ago ( before I owned it) my house was rendered with a bobbly cream substance, which when peeled off seems to be almost rubber on its back - it was sprayed on by a company aparantly. Any idea what this might be please...

Hi I'm looking to build an extension on the back of my house(with a bathroom) but can't find any manhole covers or plans to shower where my existing sewage goes! Last owners put a patio over where I guess any manhole might have been. Rather than dig holes in the patio, is there an alternative...

Put a new board and thermistor in my suprima 50 as the boiler repeatedly blew out. 4 days of everything working fine for a change, then tonight it started blowing out again and wont even let me restart the boiler at the restart switch. Coincidentally, when i turn OFF the room thermostat.... the...

Help! :( I have a Suprima boiler ( always tempramental )which yesterday would not let me turn the CH off at the control panel. Today, I can only get the CH to work by calling for HW. If the HW reaches temperature, the radiators go off. Incidentally, if I use the main house thermostat to try...
