I'm a similar boat here, but mainly to stop a suspect draft coming down the twin wall flue. There is a metal collar that sits in top of the roof, and I was tempted to remove the 'rain skirt' off the flue and the suspect gap around the metal collar to pipe fill it with fire rated foam... Then...

Any form of render board behind, or was it straight onto the block?

You will get the joke any second now....and will laugh to yourself! :D Very good! :)

Thanks for the reply - i will give it a go with my pressure washer! With time being the main enemy, it is wanting to get it done in a morning/day really! Another hire place does a petrol powered rotary floor grinder for the same price as an electric one, seems a safe bet to give that a go! I am...

Thanks very much guys, grateful for the advice Ill ring around some more hire shops tomorrow, the above was only from my local. I will also ask it getting gummed up, however 80% of the paint is pretty thin & flakey - I was hoping it would get chewed & rubbed off as it ground the concrete. The...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll buy one and give it a ago. With kids & jobs my time is very limited to try and get this project all done over a weekend (emptying garage etc...) so as a plan B, any thoughts on the machines? Thanks again woody!

As per title, new build(ish) double garage floor has a few layers of paint build up over the several years it has been down. Overall it is in good condition, with a few small (but long) surface cracks - nothing I am too worried about. I am also not after 'perfection' only that the 2 part epoxy...

Meh, his kitchen design has put him in this position. If it was as easy as moving the machine then he obviously would have. He is where he is & is simply asking for helps & advice, not condensing posts being deliberately obtuse Stick a cylinder like what I posted into the adjcant cupboard...

Look for a well reviewed product, then speak to their technical help line before going off on one! Splashing around different acids, cleaners, dyes & stains can effect the final result! better safe then sorry.... Also, whatever product you use ensure it is thoroughly thoroughly dry before you...

If you are only notching one, in a set area I think you would get away with it. I would be looking to brace the joist on either side of it with some thoroughly bolted in wooden braces to ensure the joist isn't weakened over all & then notch it accordingly. Regulations are fairly clear on this...

Christ, reading the thread you would think OP is playing with Gas or High Voltage power. The man is trying to get water from one side of a room to the other, with gravity & a pump on his side. This isn't rocket science, just some clever thinking & calculated risk. Some of you guys come across...

Sorry to bump an odd thread, but I am having the same issues with my UFH mixing valve chattering / vibrating until the temperature valve is adjusted slightly. This instantly cures it, but it soon returns (though with an unpredictable time frame)

Thanks for that! I suppose that makes sense as the pump would activate before the boiler fired & if at any point during the ''activation sequence'' the room temp momentarily rose it would cancel it & start the ''deactivation sequence''. Then if at any point during that the temp dropped slightly...

Due to our young son, his room is kept at 17 degrees as a minimum, which the room was hovering at for most of the night. We have an Evohome system that allows us to control individual rooms. I have not yet ruled out the fact that the room was at 17 degrees & stat was set at 17 degrees as a...

The ECO button is lit, which I was told meant it was ''off'' by Worecester Bosch last year (never made sense to me, but I followed what she said). Leaving it unlit apparently meant the boiler circulated hot water through the system to improve response times? Does that sound right? Now it is...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is exactly the problem I am having with my Worcester Bosch System boiler, a Greenstar CDI 34kw. Only a year old. During the night, the pump (or could be the fan?) activates for 30 seconds or so, then quickly dies off and repeats this every 20minutes or so...

Thanks guys, good suggestions! Ill try all of the above.

As per title, how do people go about finding them? Esp in the Peak District. We need to fill approx 30 Gabions with Rock, by hand and could do with some help just chucking rocks in. Totally unskilled as most of these will be hidden from view - £100 a day sort of thing. Googling everything I...

That's a very good idea actually, there are a few farms nearby, they clear the roads during the snowfall! HIAB'd off lorry onto trailer, excavator with fork attachment to get them off onto site! Thank you! :)

Project requires a large portion of the driveway to be underpinned, due to being on the side of a hill with limited depth of soil before you hit rock/large degree of height build up Gabions have been recommended as the most reasonable option - by structural engineer. Need 30 odd of them to...
