Hi. Please see attached pictures. Unfortunately no room for a coping stone. I'm think I'll have to go with the dpm and mortar again unless you folk have some good ideas? I'm really stuck for room due to the facial and roof design which isn't ideal.

Hi My garage is letting in water from the brick pillars. I have one pillar at each corner and 1 either side at the half way mark. Between each pillar are just rendered breeze blocks. The roof only overhangs approximately a 1/4 of pillar, exposing the tops to the elements. The top of the pillars...

Unfortunately not no. It would do with redoing definitely but hoping to find a solution that will last a couple of years.

Hello! My garage floor isn't the best. It has brick built walls but on a concrete slab. I've no idea if a dpm was used when built. Anyway it appears during winter mainly that one end of the garage floor gets very damp and if you leave anything on the floor it ends up rather wet on the surface...

If you look at the bank where the said bench is, you can see the river bank has had cut outs put into it by man, probably to make it a little bit safer. Yes the steps are still mud but a lesser chance to slip than a steeper bank. It

My partners house appears to have a damp issue at the bottom of an internal door. I believe where the door is now was once a solid brick wall but was cut out and had a door put in for a later extension that was built at some point. It looks like 2 extensions have been made into one at some...

Hello! I've removed all the old white silicone from around my window that's in a brick recess. Thankfully all sides peeled off leaving no trace! My question is.....I'm going to tape on the upvc to have a nice straight edge.....but do the pro's tape the brick as well, personally I can't see the...

Was just a bit concerned as never noticed it on a felt covered garage roof. Just concerned the moisture shall rot the wood on time..... Included some pics you should be able to see the moisture line on the beams and also beading on the boards.

Hi 3 years ago a friend of mine had a new flat garage roof installed using 18mm osb and firestone rubber with some form of liner between the two. I've noticed that inside the garage this time of year the osb is very damp and forming a moisture layer which seems to be across the entire area. The...

I've got a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 28i junior combi. When I have the eco button on so no preheated water it works fine both hot water and heating. If I run eco I struggle to get any hot water but the heating is always fine. When demanding hot water in eco mode the boiler tries to fire up and...

Excellent thanks, all working!

Hello! I have a hive single channel receiver that I wish to replace my Honeywell wall stat, please see attached pictures. I have read that I require 5 wires to the hive receiver but was hoping to replace my existing stat with the hive as a straight swop but it only has 4 wires to it. My...

Currently running armoured cable to my shed, all dug to depth of 600mm, with sifted soil, electrical warning tape etc! Only plan to run a tumble and light. I am now at the house end near the electric meter. 2 foot above this on the inside is where my consumer unit is. I plan to run my cable...

Hello, my parents had a boiler fitted in the loft but on these cold nights the external stat fitted to the wall kicks in. Obviously its doing its job but its noisy and sometimes wakes them up! On a cold night i presume the boiler will run all night. Can't a state be fitted to the pipes instead,?

Thanks for the replies people. Added a few photos for close inspection. What shall I do with the paint thats flaking off, I am worried the tiles won't bond very well.

Hello Hoping someone can help. My girlfriends bathroom paint that was applied before she moved in is covered in tiny cracks all over. It isn't the best job, what has caused the cracking? The paint looks like a Matt, might be wrong. The next thing is that some paint has peeled off...

I have left the red on the stat connected to point one and the yellow to point 3. Which goes to which at the boiler end please, thanks.

It is biasi boiler, 24sm/b, the stat on the wall at present is a honeywell

Yes will try that. Are these stats meant to work correctly on 3 wires? Would i be better buying a stat suited to a two wire set up?

So i am more than likely to keep pins 1 and 3 connected as they are?
