    Do I have a broken hot water cylinder coil?

    So I turned off that cold supply again, and let the tank drain down a bit. It was probably off for about 12 hours, and of course absolutely no change to the pressure in the heating circuit. My bag over the PRV outlet stayed bone dry too. So the mystery of why it's sometimes dropping pressure...

    Do I have a broken hot water cylinder coil?

    Thanks for the advice Owain. Yes, exactly. Yup, fair point. It might slow the leak down a bit though? Interesting idea. It's possible the PRV is letting through a bit, but it all seems dry. I've disconnected the outlet pipe and put a bag over the end to see if anything comes out. I've also...

    Do I have a broken hot water cylinder coil?

    Long story short, I drained the cold water storage tank at the weekend; the hot water cylinder ended up empty too; and by the time I came to refill, I noticed that the pressure in the heating circuit had dropped to near zero. Advice needed: could anything cause this other than a broken coil...

    Cavity insulation with irregular extensions

    Hi folks, Looking at having our cavities insulated, had a couple of guys round now to do a survey for it. Trouble is, they've told me completely different things and I'm not really sure who to believe. Difficulty is that we've got a couple of extensions, which lead to the house not being a...

    To strip or not to strip?

    Thanks Dec, I think you're probably right. It's good just to have someone else confirm I'm not completely wasting my time here, really!

    To strip or not to strip?

    I'm redecorating a room which had fitted cupboards along one side. The plan is to rip out the cupboards, fit a couple of new sockets, make good the skirting boards, repaint the room, and have the carpet replaced. However, after I took out the fitted wardrobes, it turned out the paint in the...
