The fumes went out a flue that was in the wall. It was removed before we moved into the house. You can see the differnt coloured orange bricks. This is where it was. An electric fire was then just placed into this hole and the back (what you see in the images) left as is. This basically...

Sometimes after an update it removes the password from The outgoing server. Go into settings then mail and accounts.

The gap in green is the bit I want to seal off. And also add some insulation to the back brick. As this is a standard brick depth before it hits the outside.

Well it’s not a chimney breast. It’s more a hole knocked in the wall It’s a modern house. So it’s outer brick / cavity wall with insulation / breeze block then dot and dab with plasterboard. I think when the house was built they just hacked a very crude hole in the breeze to install a gas...

Chris. I have done what you said. And when I done this the radiator heated up. And got warm. This was fairly quick maybe 5/10 mini of being on. I had the lock shield open fully. So I went around and opened all the other upstairs radiators by 1/4 turn and then done the same to the downstairs...

Well the trv was swapped out as the Orginal one was sticking. It’s got two arrows on it indicating the direction the same as all the others in the house (one arrow points toward the road and the other points down toward the floor/pipe return) The pump is the same one we have always had and...

Haha. I live about 4 miles from Edinburgh Airport and right on the flight path. So I was easy to find.

I’m not planning on filling the entire wall. Just a small amount between the breeze and the outer wall to stop the main draft. The other idea I had was some kinda rock wool for walls similar to loft insulation. And stuffing that in the gap. Just anything to stop the breeze coming through the...

And the pin moves freely I should have added.

Thanks Chris. Done this already. Ran the radiator for a full 2 days with no TRV and still the same issue. Luke warm Radiator.

Thanks Chris. Yes it looks like it has been a gas fire at one point in time. As there is a terminated gas pipe Would using a foam not allow the air to still move up and around the gap. The gap extends the full length of the house wall (around 15meters) and vertically up to the roof line. This...

I am a massive flight sim nerd. Love FS 2020. But desperately need a graphics card upgrade. Once I get a new rtx or the new Radeon I will be winning. But In the short term I am playing wreckfest on the pc. It’s amazing. Gameplay and graphics are fantastic at 1440p

Morning all. I have a hole in the living room where a electric fire is fitted. It’s been drafty for some time a I decided to investigate why Basically when the house was built they have cut a hole in the breeze block and not sealed it up. They have instead left plasterboard as a finisher...

Morning all. I have a single type 22 radiator in my living room. It’s 1000x500 and had a trv and lock shield fitted. This radiator is the only one in my house to cause me issues. It never gets as hot as the other radiators downstairs. I would possibly say it’s the furthest from the boiler...

Thanks Danny. I did think that but wanted to check. Will give the hw a good run on the taps. I can hear the return pipe venting but figured after a day it would Have fixed itself. I have drained and filled systems before. (Not this one as the house is new to us) when we moved in the rads...

Great advice thanks mate.

Afternoon. I have a vented centra heating system with f&e tank in the loft I needed to swap a radiator and replace a few trvs as they were painted by the last house owner :( I drained the system down and flushed with clean water from the f&e tank. After about an hour I closed the drain...

Thanks for the reply Ree, I have done some reading up on here and also on the web any its pretty confusing as each house and situation is different. I have drawn a quick sketch of what I plan to do. Planning on some 36x100x2000 horizontal supports running between the trusses, then brace them...

Evening all, I have recently bought a house built in 2003. It has a decent loft space and in the center its around 6 1/2 feet high. Currently there are 2 massive 2.5m (i think) boards in the loft that were obviously left when the house was built. I am planning to lay some flooring down in...

I have been away in London this weekend for work. However I have been doing some reading and research on the flight down I found out the wires that connected the old stat and traced them back a panel in the cupboard where the tank is housed. I then found more cables. I then followed this...
