    Out of interest why does the NHBC say Chevrons are needed for spans over 8m. The roof in question is probably closer to 4m and 2 storey. https://nhbc-standards.co.uk/2019/7-roofs/7-2-pitched-roofs/7-2-9-bracing-for-trussed-rafter-roofs/

    Loft boarding - Truss, Brace, Kings & Queens

    Hi all, I live in a newish build circa 2013 and have a small loft space that I would like to partially board out for very light storage. The loft is roughly 3.7m wide by 5m long, with an area roughly 3.6m x 3.6m which could be boarded when the loft access is taken into account. I'm currently...

    Ideal Classic FF240 Boiler - Cutting Out

    Just to let you know, all the symptoms I have given are accurate and I haven't embellished any facts. I didn't want any help fixing the issue just a second opinion from people with knowledge as like most people I'm completely clueless about the dark arts of boilers, great when they work but God...

    Hi, The only thing that is arcing is the little black thing in the image below, marked SG1. This arcs when it's trying to fire up. The fan does make a bit of a noise, so could easily be on the way out. Have BG coming tomorrow morning. Had company around this morning HUG limited to quote for...

    Well im not sure how you are supposed to find good tradesmen? Word of mouth and recommendations haven't proved useful so far! I heard someone say no good tradesmen ever advertise, they don't need to...., but how do people who are new to an area (like me) find them? Tried removing the possible...

    Ideal Classic FF240 Boiler - Cutting Out

    Hi all. All the engineers has good reviews, ratedpeople, checks trade etc. One was recommended by a friend and other from this forum. I guess to them it's more hassle than its worth to repair rather than replace. How would I vent the mid point of the is an air lock. The Wilo pump has an...

    Ideal Classic FF240 Boiler - Cutting Out

    Well today's engineer had just left, his diagnosis is it's either the fan or a pressure switch (or possibly both). He said it's definitely not the cold feed. I'm totally fed up now, think I'm going to admit defeat and be forced into spending £3k on a new boiler. Here's the airing cupboard...

    Ideal Classic FF240 Boiler - Cutting Out

    Jesus, would explain a lot. Thinking about it when the old Wilo Gold pump failed it looked much like that photo, the width of the pump was reduced to about 5mm. It took much longer to drain this time, in fact the tall radiator in the kitchen failed to drain fully. There was a lot of gurgling...

    Thanks Phil. Well we may have a little progress, tried a small magnet on the cold feed and there is the slightest hint of a pull :) So would this need the T junction cutting out and replacing?

    Ideal Classic FF240 Boiler - Cutting Out

    Thanks all, it was Mr Daley's colleague who investigated/diagnosed the problem. Seems it's more difficult to find an engineer who knows what too look for. What's a GVSC?
