Hi All, Building a 1m high retaining wall and I'm having a few issues. I'm tanking the back of the wall with a bitumen sealer and for additional waterproofing I'm putting a DPM (e.g. http://www.diy.com/departments/ndc-blue-damp-proof-membrane-1000/35630_BQ.prd) behind that. My issue is how to...

Thanks for the reply. I suspected as much in terms of the width. I think I was hoping to get away with less materials. One thing to check is the depth. is 600mm sufficient? I take your point about the staining. I plan on running drainage at the back of the wall which leads to a drain at...

Hi All, Looking for some help in building a retaining wall. I'm OK with everything apart from the size of the actual wall. I'm especially thinking about the height and thickness and materials to be used. I have some blocks already which I'm hoping will do the job but I'm more and more unsure...

thoughts anyone?

right, back again for another day. Has the heating man round and he suggested replacing the pump to see if that was th problem. And guss what.... it wasn't. So no hot water is coming out of the boiler at all and he guy said the boiler is beyone repair. He is guessing the heat exchanger is...

I think thats right. we have a main heating control with timer which controls when the boiler is on. Then an additional control on the boiler itself which I thought controlled the heating temperature. This can be set from 1 to 7 and off. I am however confused on how the boiler heats the...

Not that I can see. I just took a long look and can only see the three pipes as mentioned before. Unless the pipes are entering the boiler from underneeth then its only 2 water pipes. I don notice however that where the pump is I can see 2 22mm copper pipes which are the ones going to the...

yip all looks ok. the cap is loose.

not sure what it is. I assumed it was either as you say or a pressure release valve or acts as both? I've tried removing the small black cap altogether but couldnt hear anything coming out. I did read on another post however that this will allow air out automatically when it gets stuck. I've...

some pics of the boiler: (all the pics need to be turned round 90d lockwise. computer is acting up now. dont think its going to be my night.)

As sure as can be. Just went back to have a look and cant see any other pipes. I'll post some other pics. Excuse the quality. Dam iphone isnt that good :)

Yes I can move the zone valve leaver with no resistance. How can I check if its opening?

yes. If I twist the pump round i wont be able to put the floor back I dont think. I'll check that tho. Yes thats the only zone we have. I didnt actually realise how zone control worked (or even existed) until now. Quite interesting however thats for another day I think :)

yes and no. Yes the hw needs to be on to have the heating on. only 3 pipes to/from the boiler. 1 gas 2 water. As it leaves the boiler it runs to the pic with the pump in it. I assume the hot is the one with the pump and the return with the zone valve. After that the pipes run to all the...

all rads have been bled however I dont know if I have any other areas I need to do. As far as I can tell I dont but who knows in the house ive just bought. :? its just the orientation of the pic. im standing at the bottom of that pic and the pump is under the floor in front of me with the...
