Waiting for the engineer to come and I've done some more diagnostics. When the boiler is running, if you try and turn down the rad temperature directly on the boiler, it instantly cuts out and needs resetting. Could this be overheating?

Thanks all!

Thanks for the reply!! Just so I know what to pass on to the heating engineer, do you have any suggestions for them? I'll have a look at the fixed price repair.

Hey All, Moved into a new house (to us) before the Christmas period, and the boiler has started to play up, yes, it's old, but if not budgeted for a new boiler, so if I / expert can fix it, it'd be a win-win. The boiler has gradually worsened, but it basically fails to start up, and then a red...

Thanks for the help all.

With the rain last night it’s spread a little over to the left hand side… dripping more ferocious. Anything I can do in the mean time to protect the wood? Tarpaulin over it?

Here are the pictures Andy. The fall is from 2.4 to 2.0m over 3.6m not sure what the percentage is. One layer of felt and I used Ultrapol polyester charcoal mineral.

Thanks for the reply Andy. I'll take some pictures tonight and upload.

Hey All, I've recently built a garden room and failed at the first hurdle, yesterday was the first bit of rain we've had in a few weeks. I'd just finished plasterboarding the walls and decided not to plasterboard the roof until I'd tested for leaks... Anyway, I'm glad I did, it's leaking. I've...

Hi Guys, I’m currently building a garden room and I’ve just got it water tight this weekend. I have run a 6mm armoured cable to the room and I’d like to put a consumer unit in there to control the power for the sockets, lights, outdoor lights and hot tub. What consumer unit would I need?

Hello, I’m currently build a garden room / pub shed for use in the weekend and evenings. I’ve built the base and insulated it with kingspan slabs and I’m going to build the sides/roof this weekend. The roof, I’m using OSB3 18mm boards and intend to felt the roof either with torch on felt or...

Hi All, I'm currently in the process of building my own garden room for the wife (pub shed for me). I've just finished the base and have added Kingspan 100mm insulation boards to the floor, I'm just looking for some advice for the walls? I'm putting 15mm OSB3 boards on the outside of the shed...

Hey All, We’ve just moved into a property and they’ve had the conservatory converted into an extension, however, because the floor was lower in the old conservatory they’ve raised this to match the existing floor. Now, between the kitchen floor and the extension there is a bit of damage to the...

So tomorrow I’m making a start on fitting my mother in laws shower tray and valve. On previous threads I’ve got the advice for the tray so don’t have an issue there. The question is around the shower valve, she’s chosen a recessed one...

I use Waze pretty much every day and rarely have any problems. While abroad I use Google Maps as I like to have the area map downloaded so it reduces my roaming data requests.

To add to my points above, I’m removing an old electric shower and adding a normal shower with a recessed valve.

So something like no more nails? I guess a waterproof one would be better? Do you have any advice on the bonded pipes?

Hi All, As per my previous posts I’ve been tasked with install my mother-in-laws bathroom. They’ve purchased a bungalow and it has a concrete floor, I don’t fancy chiseling out the floor and potentially damaging the damp proofing so I’m going to raise the tray up to fit the waste, I’ll use 4x2...
