With a free Microsoft outlook account, they do provide a basic / viewer version of Microsoft Word online. So you can view them on a browser. Hope that helps.

Thanks John. That does make sense and implies some works are coming. Probably best to check back with the council.

Hi Forum, Hope someone can help / insights / information. I came home from work yesterday and saw some markings outside my property. (see picture attached). I checked the local planning site, but there are no references to my road (but could be early days). I did a quick google search and...

Hi Forum, I am in the process of installing a Vitodens 050w and have purchased a Nest 3rd Gen Thermostat which supports OpenTherm. The boiler itself also comes with an Outdoor Temperature Sensor, so I was unsure if both needs to be connected (The install manual suggests that the Operating Mode...

Many Thanks for your reply. Really Appreciated. I see now where the Terminals referenced at "C" 1 and 2 would correspond with Nest OT1 and OT2.

Hi Forum, Looking to clarify if the Viessmann Vitodens 050-w supports Opentherm? I downloaded a datasheet from the website but couldn't see any direct reference to it being supported. I would be looking to pair it with a Nest Thermostat. Many Thanks. Mark.

Hi Forum, I've had a Worcester-Bosch 35CDi fitted in 2005, annual serviced and been working fine, with one breakdown recently, when the fan/pump was replaced. Since it was installed no-one has mentioned having a filter fitted, not even the WB engineers doing the annual servicing. I was...

Hi Forum, My lounge floor has a serious damp problem which has been diagnosed as the concrete slab. As you see from the photo the damp permeates the immediate area, has affected the plaster on the chimney (plaster in contact with floor) as well as adjacent alcove walls. Two questions: 1)...

Ok. Thanks for the feedback. I'll focus on getting the main bits done and leave this till last. Just wondering if there are any off-the-shelf solutions for basic/ simple home skimming?

Hi Forum, I'm removing old lining paper as I want to repaint bedroom straight onto walls. On the whole the walls are not in bad shape, there are the usual hairline cracks and also some areas where a thin skim coat has been applied on the corner of the bay window. If I were to paint the edges...

Hi Forum, Since my previous post I've pulled away the carpet and underlay from the front part of the lounge to be inspected by a Damp Specialist. (Not sure how long the damp on the gorund has been there, but the damp on the walls has been there for several years). I wanted to get some advice...

Thanks for the replies. One wall is a joining the hallway another is external (near the patio door) and the other wall is ajoining next door neighbour (No cavity insulation). As its not all over perhaps it's just where some minor breaching has occurred. The house is starting to feel a bit...

I'm having my lounge redecorated (last done 8/9 years ago). For as long as I can remember there's been some traces of damp pattern near skirting boards, but nothing more problematic than that. My decorator has recommended to have it investigated and fixed - he attaches a higher importance to it...

Hi Forum, I'm replacing a Stelrad compact radiator and was looking at getting the same. A friend suggested to go for a Screwfix Kudox Premium. These seem a bit cheaper and was wondering if there's much difference? Thanks Regards Mark

Andrioid should allow you to disable data (via settings). You would know if you are using data as there are usually some icons in the top display (near signal indicator / battery indicator).

Hi Forum, I'm currently stripping back to start decorating the hall-way, but the incoming BT line is mounted on the wooden framed door. The intention is to burn off old paint and paint. But to do this I'd need to remove the box rather than work-around it. From the picture you can see...

Hi, I would love to say it's plug and play, the core features are. But getting the email notifications working was a bit of a pain as I had to hunt down the email server settings but it's not the fault of the device. Good luck!

Hi, Thanks for the various feedback. I've contacted one supplier in Leicestershire and mentioned the following: - Underfloor placement might have been the preferred option at the time. - As a rough guide (without an inspection) it may cost between £150/£200 to move the panel and...
