Hi all I live in a small semi detached house and with all the heavy rainfall we have been getting it has uncovered a problem with our back garden drainage. The garden is very small - maybe 4m wide by 7m long. I have a small patio area which then slopes upwards away from the house. The grassy...

Hi all, sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I have a problem that has been ongoing since last winter and appears to be getting worse so I need to try and get it sorted. Last winter I noticed that the plaster at the corner of my rear patio door had a small damp patch. It was nothing...

Hi I own my home and the house joined to mine is rented out by a LHA. Our roof guttering is shared, terminated by an end cap my side and into a downpipe only on my neighbours side. I clear my own gutters twice a year, and last year noticed that next doors were completely full, resulting in the...

Okay just been down to have another look. The render goes all the way down to the level of the mud/veg. I cannot even see a DPC, surely it would not be below this level?Airbrick2 by jonnybump1 posted 17 Jun 2018 at 6:46 PM Airbrick1 by jonnybump1 posted 17 Jun 2018 at 6:46 PM Crack in render...

Thanks for the replies, I'll try and answer your questions - It extends along most of that wall, yes. It starts at the bottom of the stairs, can't tell yet if it's under the stairs as the cupboard was a bit full, then continues along that wall in the dining area. Doesn't appear to be in the...

Hi all, I'm interested in buying a house that's for sale and went for a viewing yesterday. All went well with the exception of damp in the lower section of one of the walls. The estate agent said he believes it's due to the house not being lived in for over a year, and the fact that the...

Hi, just after a bit of advice - I use my bicycle to commute to work every day. At the moment I keep my bike in the back garden - there's a lane that runs parallel to next door's garden, round next doors' house and leads to my garden. It would be so much easier if I could keep the whole family's...

Oh dear. In the stat manual it says that for combi boilers there must be no connection made from terminal 4 (hw off). There'd be no way of retrofitting the two together would there?

I do apologise... Its a Worcester Greenstar 25Si Combi boiler with Grant RFTKIT DOC20 programmable room thermostat.

Does this mean both units are incompatible?

Hi all, due to finding out my thermostat wiring has been lost behind the walls, I've been told to have a look at wireless thermostats. I have the Wiring diagrams for both sides but am a little lost...could anybody shed some light or should I get a pro in? Boiler has: LR switched live LS...

No junction box in there. The boiler doesn't look like the one that was with the house when it was new (ie. Fifteen years ago). Without ripping off the plasterboard how can I find out were there's cables could be?

Hi all...newbie here. I have recently moved into a new house that I have found out has had the room thermostat disconnected. This is confirmed by the most recent gas service which states "Room Stat not connect". I have removed the stat cover and discovered that the cables are all connected...
