I have cleared the gutters out and sealed them with some fibre glass paint. Will see what happens during the next torrential downpour which could possibly be tomorrow if these predicted thunderstorms happen.

In this instance should the flashing be going under the gutter then to ensure any overflow does not penetrate the brick?

Hi All, I live in a 1930 terrace house with cast iron gutters. When it rains "normally" the gutters are fine. However, as well know there has been a number of torrential downpours this year's. When there is the guttering on the house can't cope and the water spills over the back of the...

That's exactly what I thought gas112. Will wait and see what the job certificate says.

Totally appreciate that. As you can see from the chat there are a number of different views. Either way the boiler is safe and working properly.

He did show me some numbers but it meant absolutely nothing to me. He was a baxi boiler engineer and did everything online so I have requested a a digital work log and certificate.

Thanks guys that's really helpful. I've used this website for different views and it's been great. If I listened to the engineer this morning I need a full new pipe which means floors up and a load of hassle. He mentioned to me if a senior technician had of checked the boiler this morning he...

That's my whole point Terry if it's absolutely fine then can I just leave it? Depending on who u speak to its a different story a bit like yourself and CBW. Will it ever fail a service?

No there was no quote for an upgrade. Just fitted the new boiler. It's probably about 10 metres of 22mm pipe that needed, if that. What kind of price would I be looking at to have it fitter? I'd do the donkey work lifting the floor, etc.

Hi All, I had a Main Eco Compact 30 boiler installed about a year ago now. It's been running fine. It's just had its first service. The engineer said the boiler has a 22mm gas feed. However the main gas pipe is a 15mm. It looks like when the installer fitted the boiler he has inserted a...

Yeah I think I will put a couple of gallows brackets in. Better to be safe than sorry.

Well I've had the house for 8 years and the kitchen was fitted 10 years before that so guessing it was removed around then. So basically with toothed brickwork the sides are supported fine but the front needs support?

Inside the roof there is just under 2m of stack and on the roof we r talking 0.75m. See attached.

Hi here are a couple of picture. I've opened the front of the chimney and left the sides on. The brickwork is fine with no lose bricks. As your can see on the sides every other brick is bonded into the wall.

Hi all. In my bathroom airing cupboard I have an old chimney breast. My bathroom is above the kitchen and I don't have a chimney in the kitchen. The chimney seems to start in the bathroom and goes up all the way to the roof. I want to remove the chimney in the bathroom to square the room off...

Out of interest are the connectors suitable for extending any electrical wire? I've got a cabinet in the bathroom wired up but looking to move it but again the wire is too short. I only need an extra metre of wire or would I just need to put a full new length in?

Thanks Ragaz

Hi All, I've got a light switch with wiring that's way too short. It's the old red and black wires. Was going to use some inline push wire fittings to add some additional wire. Can I connect new brown and blue wire to extend? Thanks

Hi All, in my airing cupboard in the bathroom I've got an old chimney that goes up into the loft and obviously out the roof. The chimney seems to stop in the airing cupboard as there is nothing in the kitchen below. The chimney comes out the wall about a foot and half and looks like it's...

Cheers mate. Don't suppose there is an O Ring kit I can buy is there rather than an a new mixer valve.
