Cheers, just had a thought that the roof people will sign it off with building regs so may send them some images to actually see if he will with those courses removed so near the steel. Thanks for the input

And another angle from outside, the wall with the red cross is the one above the steels. I need to remove the 5 courses all around the flat roof.

Yes that's a cavity wall, squeezed my hand in there and the steel finishes flush with the brickwork on show and not protruding into the cavity

Sure...you can just see the steels at the top

Yes, straight onto the wall...1970's house with the block work being those black clinkers on the steel. Would it not need a padstone as they are lightweight? No idea...I'm a sparky not a builder and this was uncovered yesterday when an asbestos ceiling was removed and now giving me grief with...

Can anyone help with this? This is in my garage with a bedroom above to the left of the steels. To the right of the steels, with the loft insulation, is a flat felt roof that is being removed that extends a further 4m We are having a replacement solid conservatory roof that will extend over...

Yes there's two lives at the plug. One from the limit stat and the other from the pressure switch. Pressure loss makes sense, it dropped and disconnected the c/box. When I raised the pressure with filler loop it put power back onto the c/box where I've been checking.

I lifted the lid on the c/box to check. Oh well I'll see if I can pick one up tomorrow, back to the kettle filling :) Cheers for the help.

Ok fair enough So are these prone to failure after 3 years? And I take it the drop in pressure was just a coincidence?

Yes I unplugged the supply to the control box as couldn't get probes on to check voltage. No voltage going to the motor though. Control box shagged? Can't see anything else connected to it to tell it to run.

Yes Terry, The enviromax combi with the MO 535 MPF control box fitted.

I have and it took me to the control box. it has a supply present, I take it the photoresistance looks for the flame so I can disregard that as it's not firing anyway, the oil valve looks to be a solenoid to give the burner oil, a motor for the fan and ignition electrodes. I'm getting low on...

Hi, Anyone familiar with the Firebird C20 oil boiler? Been away for 3 weeks and I usually switch it off but this time left it on. Got home Wednesday and the shower had hot water until Saturday morning then went Luke warm, checked the pressure gauge on the boiler and it had dropped just into...

Thanks for he reply Hugh, I think you helped me before when my old boiler ran out of oil........new one being fitted Monday :D Yep mask, goggles, full paper suit, hose in one hand and hacksaw in the other, nice and slowly. I'm not going to start attacking it with a grinder. I'll google...

Chaps.....I'm ripping my bathroom out in a few weeks and everything will be going back in a new position. This involves changing the soil pipe outside to accomodate all the new waste pipes, no problems with that but currently I have a what looks like a asbestos cement soilpipe. I need to cut...

Thanks burnerman, the new install is totally seperate from this old one. i was running the old tank low so I dont have to transfer oil from one to the other( opposite ends of the house)
