Hi Woody - thanks for all your help, much appreciated. Just to clarify, we did our extension 4 years ago. The neighbours only finished theirs in December 2021 and we saw the first crack in March or April time. 7 months on its got bigger. The PWS still hasnt resolved another issue regarding...

So what happens now then.... we just cross our fingers and hope that its caused by settlement post work and that its not going to get materially worse. Just out of interest, the work also caused water to come through the party wall in the kitchen and our party wall surveyor still hasn't got...

OK - thanks. Our next course of action will be to contact the party wall surveyor and raise it with them.. (that's the only thing I can think of). We have no way of knowing whether its internal as well because its on the inside of our dormer now - the only way would be to cut a hole in the...

Hi I live in a Victorian terrace, standard construction - 9 inch walls with rear outrigger. We had a loft extension done 4 years ago, using timber frame and hung tile construction. Our neighbours also just completed an extension as well. Wasn't easy to say the least - didn't see why they...

@freddiemercurystwin I never claimed mine was a looker. Dormer's can be particularly ugly yes. But at least we applied for lawfullness of PD, and went through all the right processes. Our neighbours dont care about the law and just seem to build at will. When they started we told them to stop...

It just looks really ugly... everyone else has used tiles so it matches the existing slate roofs and now this one house has what you can only describe as being an "elevated council toilet block" Thanks - what about the fact its single skinned. Cant understand why they would do it. If they...

Hi everyone. I live in SW London. We did a loft extension a few years ago, standard L shaped dormer on a Victorian terrace with rear outrigger. There must be 20 already on the road and like ours - all built from wood frames with hung tiles that match the roof before. Ok so my neighbour...

Stem - many thanks for all your help on this. Changed it over last night and really easy to follow your instructions. For the first time since we bought the house, we woke up this morning with the heating on! Thanks again

Ok - Posted a pic of the Potterton wiring diagram and a better pic of how the guy that installed it had wired it up.

Stem - thanks for the swift reply. I have a picture of the current controller wired up and the diagram at home so I can post that up tonight. Yes the old one was dual control https://www.plumbcenter.co.uk/product/potterton-ep2002-5-2-day-electronic-programmer/

Hello Hopefully a quick question. Moved into a house and one of the long list of issues is fixing the central heating. The issue is that the controller unit for our Potterton boiler is broken. Not sure of the exact model but its something like the EP2002 7 day unit. From what I'm aware I cant...
