I possibly would depending on the visit later on tomorrow...or is it today !!! I'm more concerned over the reference to Gas Safe practices and what the Enginneer can and can't do, am being told left right and centre that if I open up the boiler to do anything it's illegal. My missus works for...

Hi, haven't posted for a while as everything has been going sweet as pea...till now!!... I have an issue with a Glowworm Micron 60ff Boiler pcb. It has been operating sporadically recently...going off before reaching stat temp, not starting when it should basically very erratic without...

Thanks Woodster66 that sounds like an excellent idea -- I can't believe I didn't think of it before!!!! Will go at this angle - am away offshore at the moment so will see when I get home. Thanks very much :D

Thanks for the response chaps. I am not sure whether the existing foundations will be suitable (Extension done in 1987) - do you have different levels of foundations for a single and a double extension?? - I don't know - just an assumption on my behalf. The extension already supports a roof...

I used to have a door the other side of the extension but had the kitchen overhauled about 5 years ago to give it a better arrangement - unfortunately the door had to be sacrificed. The neighbours space (from his house to the fence) which you cannot see from the pictures is nearly 12ft wide. I...

Hi Jennie, you should have isolating valves at the boiler for feeding the rads. Then you'll have to get whatever container you can to collect the water - remember the water will be contaminated so don't leave lying around and if you use pans like my wife has in the past - ensue they are...

Cheers Richard, we actually thought our budget was a bit excessive - but not being from the building trades am limited on knowhow.... am just a poor ole sparky. Time is a major hinderance for me to be honest to be able to spend quality time on a serious remodel as I work away alot. Plus with a...

Posted this on the projects but think it may be more appropriate in here, Am looking to remodel my 1930's semi and have some questions. I want to do the following work but limit the amount of contractors - preferably use one. :? 1. Dormer loft conversion 2. New Staircase (ground floor to...
