the tank installers found the pump problem when they were here to test the oil feed. they put it right even though it wasnt their problem- so we offered to pay them for that. we'll get the money back from the bloke who fitted the pump. thanks Bob

we just had our inside stop cock replaced becuase it was clogged.

the GOK is all aluminium so cant see anything. we dont have a draw pipe that goes down into the tank. we have a floating device ( dont know what its called) that draws oil from the surface. filter and top cover of GOK are both tight. will have a closer look in day light- thanks for the info

for got to say- solid Oak

any thoughts on using Oak kitchen worktops in a bathroom? I need to make a shelf for the wash basin and there is a narrow shelf that runs around 2 walls approx 250mm wide. was thinking of using Oak for this too. ta

any ideas on a good method to waterproof cast concrete slabs please? I have used various sealers in the past with mixed results - but looking for advice from you experts on a sure fire solution- thanks

which is what i said in my previous post !- Im not despairing Bosswhite. just tired and emotional. all I care about is that the OFTEC regd installer is happy to fit it in the garage so that's what we'll do. THE END !

Sorry to argue with you Bob but the OFTEC regd installer is happy to install the tank in the garage as long as there is the required fire protection in place. the OFTEC website says: "Yes. Under British Standards a domestic oil storage tank up to 3500 litres capacity may be installed within a...

thanks for the answers- very helpful- just had a tank installer here and he says the current installation is illegal as it doesnt meet current regs. though my understanding is the legislation is not retrospective. However, the sensible thing to do is to get a new tank fitted which will solve the...

we have just had our oil boiler serviced and the chap carried out a risk assessment on the oil tank. it failed on everything- single skin steel tank in garage etc etc but he used a risk assessment form intended for new tank installations. the guy tells me it needs replacing as it doesnt conform...

a final update- since the new meter was fitted we have been sing 9 units per day- 49 per day with the old meter before it stopped- had a refund from current suplier and £448.00 from our previous supplier- thanks

very funny- Rising Damp, I mean

sorry crossed messages here. we only use the boiler (to heat water) for 1 hr in the morning- 7.30 to 8.30 then it switches off- doesnt come on again until 6.30 pm and thats only for central heating- yes turned it down a few days ago- better turn it back up- thanks for the advice.

well we dont have any rising damp so Im hoping it still OK! OP? we never switch on the immersion heater at the wall switch- thanks

thanks for the reply - the hotter water coincide swith larger bills. the odd grey box is a device for preventing rising damp. the smaller consumer unit is for the bathroom extractor fan. removed blue fuse and red light flashes the same. you are right in that it is for the immersion heater, the...
