No it’s not. Just spoke to installer who said he will be doing black Ogee guttering and downpipes with white fascia and soffits. We did see white rainwater goods on another house but although they look good they show dirt like green moss more and need more maintenance so we have stuck with BLACK.

We liked the white guttering. Some houses opposite have white fascias. We thought it would look odd having black pipes and white guttering so decided on white with white. Or should we go for black gutters and pipes with white fascia and soffits ?

Thanks for the replies Not sure if it will look ok so want some advice. The house is detached made by proctor brothers in the 70s. Front is stone profile rear is brick with stone rendering. Would white gutters with white rainwater pipes be ok or would you go for black pipes and white guttering...

We have damp in our bedrooms on all walls serviced by gutters. We replaced the felt and now feel that the FSG need doing as that did not solve problem. The whole length is 35m. I have been quoted £2500-2700 to do the job. Is this reasonable and what should I ask the tradesmen in terms of work...

Thanks, i knew there was someone here with the know how. Good thing i only did half a wall. Is the amount 1part water 7 parts paint 15-20%??

I started painting these yesterday. I've noticed that when i apply with masonary roller or paint brush the paint does not go on properly. I mean i have never painted external before just wood/metal. The blocks seem to be leaving small holes or gaps where paint does not reach until you go over it...

Do I need to use thinned masonary paint to seal it first.

Having built a concrete block garage I need to paint the interior walls. What type of paint do I need? Is it masonary paint or interior wall paint. How many coats will it need and do I need to use a primer coat? Also just to add the exterior has been rendered with one coat render. Can this be...

I have a gap 2270 wide and height about 2040. The door with frame is 2245 wide and 2040 high( I check again ) Will that be enough clearance or do I need wood to secure it in on sides .

How much was it around £500. Surveys show fitting costs around £200-350 so door itself must be worth about £250-300

We need a door for new garage. I found a door on eBay for £150 but it's 3cm short of the wall width. Height is ok with small gap. Can it be installed with a inch wide wood to brickwork. It's a up and over spring type canopy. No metal guides to fit. I have found cheaper ones but I need it...

Just had an debate with my Gas safe engineer. He thinks it's a law to have one for boiler. As it's on the Gas safety certificate. Where do they train these guys??

Can someone clarify if you need a CO alarm for boiler or not. I know you need one for a open coal:wood fire and it's recommended for gas fire but do you need to have one for boiler or is it recommend/optional.

Phoned them gave 3 digits no probs. Thx Gas really helpful .

I know but it's a simple task so i decided to do it as he not great with online tasks. Are Main 2yr std and 5 yr promo. It's a shame I can't get 5 yr when it's now on promo with elite combi.

I've had boiler installed. Now to register the warranty. I put in serial no and it wants 3 digits of promo code. Apparently this is in package and installer should have it. He gave it to me to register and even though I have the serial no sign of 3 digit code. Without the code I can't register...

Who said Main is more popular? You guys suggested it was more reliable than vokera. Anyway decision made. What the point of dissing Main now?? It's a budget make but does the job without too many problems. Any children on here it's way past your bedtime guys.

I did listen mate got a Main. Vokera on this forum isn't liked much.

Which filter is that? How much will that cost?

If only you had replied earlier ... I have bought Main. 2 years more warranty and £70 cheaper wasn't meant to be. I don't expect problems with Main but don't like the fact you have to pay a refundable deposit every time you call them out. How much is that ??
