    Winter time = raising loft joist help please

    Hello everyone, I have been checking out the loft for the winter, 1940s purlin roof. Bad news, only 3x2 ceiling joists and only 75mm of insulation. The loft is already badly boarded all over so I've removed the boards on the outer sides of the binders and topped up with 200mm but the...

    Tuning up an old system

    You seem to be trying to make arguments for saving money on hot water somehow without realising that its only 15 % of the fuel bill and the potential savings from reducing your bill is with the 85% which is heating and reducing the flow temp is likely to give you way more savings! That is not...

    Tuning up an old system

    Only because I believed the recommendation for the cylinder should be 60c to prevent bacteria growing. Also if you only need a little hot to a lot of cold then less cold is going into the cylinder. Otherwise, colder hot water meaning drawing more off so more cold in the cylinder meaning more...

    Tuning up an old system

    Hello guys, A question of best practice if I may? My 25 year old heat only Glow-worm space saver 60BR mkII supplies a fully pumped open vented system plus indirect cylinder. My questions are, what should the flow temp be set at roughly when the cylinder stat is set to 60 to heat it the...

    What position if necessary? Auto air vent on shower run.

    Hello guys, New house and starting to poke around. In the airing cupboard is the shower pump fed from the hot water cylinder. The hot supply tees of the main outlet pipe from the cylinder so I guess the cylinder is not fitted with a shower attachment, so, When first turning on the...

    ITV (and others ) logo on screen

    If you mean the transparent logo as mentioned then do not worry about burn in. They move them slightly each ad break to avoid this on older TVs and new TVs don't suffer the same. However for gamers out there that like very bright screens with games that have lots of fixed info eg racing, COD...

    Urgent chimney question

    Next time the alarm goes off, go round and knock on her door to see if she is ok and take your alarm with you and see if yours goes off too. If you've not lit a fire perhaps you can scare her into getting her appliances checked. Where is her alarm in her house?

    Constant Water Pipe Noise

    I'm no plumber but have you turned off the incoming water main cock to see if it stops? At least you'll know if its in the house or not. If you do have a leak I hope your not on a meter?

    MOT Failed - LAMBDA sensor and Catalyst?

    Nooooo! Don't go to the stealer, they will more than likely charge you a diagnostic fee and want to change the lamda just because the computer says so without bothering to find out why it's readings are out, it's good for a quick buck. Go to a VW independant who will know what they are doing...
