Managed to 'fix' this myself in the end Note to self: Put boilermate temp sensor on DHW output S2, S1, S1, S1, S1 Turn hot bath tap on full Remove DHW pump vent screw and wait for 20-30 mins for hot water to empty from store, cold water will refill tank from bottom and push air out through...

I have a Boilermate A Class OV store and recently drained down to swap a radiator, after refilling the hot water goes cold after 30 seconds but if the tap flow is reduced the temperature rises. Central heating is fine What I’ve tried: I have swapped the boilermate DHW pump and heat exchanger...

Legend!! Thanks :)

Due to not having the engineer code, I have factory reset my alarm panel which has defaulted the engineers code back to 1234 and user code back to 5678 However i'm unable to fully enter the engineers menu to program When i put the engineer code 1234 it says SET Engineer? I press NO which...

Updating my kitchen and thinking of moving my condensing boiler from my kitchen up into the loft to save some space Has anyone done this, any pitfalls of having it in the attic? (i'm aware i need fixed loft ladder, rails, loftboards and lighting for access) I have a boilermate if that makes...

Thanks for the replies The other door was existing from build so wanted to match it, however the window was more recessed for some reason Plan on thinking of: I still have a 1cm gap along the top of the new doors, I can easily put a damp proof membrane in and stick it to the exposed underside...

I’m not sure on the lintel style, it’s a 2006 persimmon house if that helps? The doors are sitting an inch more forward than the window was so they lined up with another set of doors further along Yes I believe it could be condensation, just not sure of this will cause a damp issue if I fill...

Have replaced a window with French doors I have noticed the steel above the door is slightly damp on the inside, there is an inch gap which I need to plaster so am concerned it will cause damp through the plaster Was thinking of covering the steel with silicon or sticking some damp proof...

Can anyone recommend a structural engineer in the Coventry / Warwickshire area for a simple RSJ calculation? Planning to remove a support wall so need an RSJ calculation and advice

Thanks, any idea which brand of fitting these are?

I'm knocking down a wall and removing the radiator completely so need to cut the pipework down so it's under the floor and blank off. It's 10mm plastic, are pushfit blanking ends the best way to blank off and should I use pipe inserts prior to fitting the blank cap or would a compression...

thanks for the info, i'm awaiting a callback from the director of the alarm company I have paperwork at home for the installation from the previous owner so i will go through the small print this evening Providing they havent used an engineer code starting with a 9, it may just be easier to...

I notified BC and paid their fee a couple of weeks ago, they need calculations for the RSJ however it doesnt need to be from a SE - they just need calculations which they informed me could be from the RSJ supplier so based on that i could use the online form but will see if they RSJ suppliers...

I know this is an old post but i'm in the same situation, new house and the alarm company want to charge me £140 for the engineers code (n) Apparently they use the same engineers code on all of their systems so cant send it out and would have to send an engineer out to reset the panel I dont...

really appreciate the advice and tips! I'll call my local BC officer tomorrow to see what they say Many thanks

thanks for letting me know Ian - do you know what i should expect to pay for an SE for this job, £300-£400?

Great, thanks for the advice! I take it 3 strongboys wouldnt work in my case if i plan to insert into the void as will need support both sides of the wall once the joists are cut? Putting the padstones in after the RSJ has been put in place sounds wise and yes will need props for the RSJ too...

My house is a 2007 build and i'm planning on removing the 3m wall between the kitchen and dining room to open it up. The wall is a breeze block support wall, supporting the upstairs floor joists only. Plan of action Get RSJ calculations from a structural engineer Notify Building Control and pay...

Can anyone tell me if wireless pir sensors will work with alarm systems which are different brands using the same frequency? E.G. Would a Yale HSA6020 433.92MHz wireless sensor work with a generic alarm on the same frequency? Just like you can fit any wireless room stat to any brand of...
