The primer seems to be one for all ie wood, walls, new plastered walls etc. It was too thick to apply. Ceiling took 3 hours, and the walls took 4.5hours for a 13sqm room... I have been using a short pile roller for a smooth finish, could this be the reason too? medium pile has more paint on...

Thank you. How many coats do you reckon? I've done two for the ceiling so far. Is tikkurila worth it in your opinion? Yes no vinyl but has acrylic.

Sensibo air quality monitor. It can be but no fragrance has been used in the room yet

For an empty room with nothing in it, it's high. Windows open.

Hi all, renovating a room. It's been plastered, empty room, no carpet, using VOC free paint and primer and TVOC readings are still high. It was at 500+ earlier. Prior to the renovation, there was 2 beds, fitted wardrobe and carpet and at night TVOC levels would reach 2700!! There is rendering...

Hi all, I bought Tikkurila paint and primer as it's VOC free and had a lot of VOC in this bedroom. Room has been plastered and I have used Tikkurila primer. I did one coat and it was very patchy. Tried doing a second coat but it didn't make much improvement. I have now done 2 coats on the...

Does anyone if eco scheme installers fit anything decent such as Viessmann, Vaillant, Baxi etc?

It appears voltage is going to where it should except then pcb on boiler isn't kicking the pump on.... The brown wire in the green blocking was getting 0v. After testing it again it jumped to life.

I seem to be getting a lot of backfeed with CH and HW turned off. 132v on white and orange on 3 port valve. When CH is on demand I also get 240v on HW on cable to cylinder stat but HW is not turned on at programmer. Is this normal?

The problem reoccurred this evening when HW turned off at 650pm the CH turned off too despite being set to turn off at 8pm. Happened last Friday as well!! I did some testing today (from the boiler end). The yellow wire (No7) connected to the orange got 240v for CH only and HW only and also for...

I will have another look. I did see one for the bathroom lights on the opposite end of the loft.

I've seen one round junction box for the bathroom and it's hard to determine which wire is which. If looping was done at the switch, how would I get another cable looped in from the switch to the loft without causing destruction (chasing wall)??

Fitted a PIV system and when it came to wiring it via lighting circuit, I checked two lights and both have one twin and earth cable going to the lights. The wiring runs via old black conduit to make life more difficult in the loft. See pic. Surely there must be some neutral and live...

I just remembered my wiring centre is bagged to prevent any moisture entering it. With the cover screwed on and then bagged. This was done few months ago. Any moisture would now be entering the pump wiring, cylinder stat or the 3port valve (where the lever is). Pump works fine.

Ecotec 438, 2009 model

It is, humidity around 73% in the garage. However as you know with the vaillants the pcb is in a decent housing

Heat only boiler. The problem is very intermittent

But doesn't the boiler tell the pump to fire? So will that be a wiring issue?

But why would the pump kick in and the boiler doesn't when something is selected on programmer

Possibly but my loft hatch is in the corner of the house, requires a ladder from the garage, by the time you set up and crawl to the centre of the loft it starts working again. It's a pain in the backside. Things would be quicker if there was a loft hatch ladder in the landing. Honestly why did...
