That sounds a bit easier for a quick fix. Had a look and they also sell something called FlashBand Tape which I'll also look at. cheers :-)

thanks mate. i'll give it a try.

Hello - I'm getting water dripping down behind the gutter where it meets the flat roof. |See pic below. The water ends up running down the fascia and onto the tiles. Anyone have any good solutions for a temp DIY fix for this. It looks like it drips down both on the side and at the end where...

Thank you Ken. I'll take a look at those options. Only temporary as the roofer can't start till March!

Hello all I have a box gutter along the side of my small kitchen extension that is pooling rain water and not draining properly. Two sections of pooling about 1m each in a box gutter run of about 6m. The construction looks like original wood construction with felt and lead. I'm also getting a...

yeah tried the balancing. never made much difference to be honest but thanks anyway.

Hello - Will an upgraded water supply mean I get better flow rate through my unvented heating system? A couple of the rads on the end of the system heat up but aren't scorchio. System been cleaned etc. Would the upgraded supply have a positive impact on this or is this more a pressure than flow...

Thanks Woody. My concern exactly. Although he is saying that the entire hole will now be filled with concrete all around the bricks along with the bolts up to the level of bottom of the vertical steel. Still doesn't seem right to me.

I thought they might be temporary over the weekend and asked that this morning and was told that they would stay and be covered in concrete. thanks

Hello all - I'm getting a kitchen extension done by a builder and was looking at the packing under the steels. See attached pictures. These bricks/blocks sit on a pad foundation of 1m and will be encased in concrete and then bolts drilled in. It seems to me that the bricks/blocks could...

Hello all - A loud rattling/buzzing sound has developed in the pipes next to our hot water/central heating cylinder. The sound is locating near to the lower Honeywell valve in the attached picture. Interestingly the sound stops when I turn on the hot water alongside the central heating. Hot...

Thanks Muggles. I'll put in a bleed valve at one end and try that. It's not heating up so I'll try this first before other investigations.

Hello - I'm bleeding my radiators and got to this vertical radiator that doesn't have the traditional bleed valve at the top but these nuts as seen in the picture at either end of the top. Do I loosen these to bleed the radiator? Not seen these before. Any help welcome. thanks
