I measured 8 ltrs per minute! Did it twice at different times to make sure... P

Thanks again Terry....I'm off to find a bucket! P

Hi Terry, thanks very much for your reply! We moved in, in mid 2019. It was not serviced in 2018 but was in 2017 apparently according to the seller's paperwork (gas safety cert - it was a rental before we bought) We had it serviced in Jan 2020. It is due it's annual service this month. Is there...

Hi all, Last year around March/April we had our upstairs bathroom re-fitted. We had a new shower with mixer tap, a new sink with mixer tap and a new bath with mixer tap, plumbed in that order / sequence. All has been working perfectly until about a week ago.... We started noticing a single...

thanks for your answer ktuludays. in answer to your question the drain cock is on a ground floor rad valve. the filling loop is present and works well. got 3 other rads upstairs so better get a bigger bucket. would you drain the upstairs rads individually first (bit easier?) then cut the pipe...

hello all, i took down a wall separating the wc from the bathroom which had a rad on it. i'd like to relocate the rad to one of the other walls in the bathroom. once i know the location of the new rad i need to route new pipe to join to the existing pipes under the floorboards. if i cut off the...

thanks for your reply. thing is, if i put the temp up on the salus thermostat to 25 for example it signals the boiler and the boilers kicks in no problem, so i think that side of it is fine - i just think the temp readings on the thermostat are rubbish! my assumption is, and i may be going...

Hello all, I had a new boiler installed 1 year ago (WB Greenstar Si Compact) and it's great but I'm convinced the SALUS RT500RF the fitter also installed is wildly inaccurate. As I type this sitting in my kitchen the Boiler is off because the Salus says the temp is 18 degrees. It's bloody...

Hi, did you find out? I need some of this beading too... P

Thanks Wessex. It does feel a bit like my hand has been forced by their builder, but I want to make sure I am not going off half-cocked! Anyway, I appreciate everyone's advice. I'll talk to the neighbour tonight and see about her getting a party wall surveyor appointed as you say - that's a...

Hi Wessex, party wall below is 225mm. I can only see 1 skin of 100mm blocks they have built on my side of the party wall (so far) when I peep through the gap in the joist (as they havent filled it yet. Good point about insulation, I will ask the neighbour to confirm if the 100mm blocks will be...

thanks Nakajo.

Thanks Wessex. I had an SE up in my loft discussing strengthening my loft floor and he looked and measured and said he thought they have built on my half of the party wall. This was after I asked their builder and he told me he hadn't! I also then drilled some holes after to see for myself (and...

Hi Wessex, thanks for your supply. I know they have built a 100mm thick block wall on my half of the party wall with the beams pushed flush through. I am 99.9% sure the party wall is not 100mm thick but even if it was, they've still built on my half.... I was under the impression my signing...

Hi Nakajo. That's my point, there isn't one, so surely they're not allowed to build on my half of it and charge me for the pleasure? Or am I wrong?? Thanks, P

Thanks for your reply chappers. I'm not sure I agree that I am cutting off my nose to spite my face... You could argue I'm pi55ing off my neighbour to save me money but is that the same thing? Also, I see it as her builder who has messed up by building on my half of the party wall without...

Thanks Tony. Perhaps not a huge cost in relation to the cost of the loft conversion but nevertheless fewer £'s in my bank account... because of the neighbours builder...? Why should I pay I'm thinking! I haven't done anything wrong but I get penalised for it when if they'd done it "right" in the...

Thanks Tony, so that will not affect height but will be visible or reduce the room by 100mm (minimum). Would it be more expensive? I guess so....(cost of box section plus extra labour compared to slotting it into the wall?) Thanks P

Hello again guys, Are you able to please give me an idea of what we would need to do with our ridge beam, given the position of theirs? A couple of you mentioned there were workarounds....I'm concerned they will increase the price of placing my ridge beam, and also lower the head height of my...

Thanks again Tony, Doggit & Chappers, I appreciate your advice. I need to speak to the local BC about an extension I would like later this year so will mention it to them also then. Cheers P
