Thanks Mike, not really, there is sometimes a small amount of air in the towel rail, but that's it. What could be corroding and how does that increase the pressure?

Hello, I have an issue where the resting pressure on my boiler is rising slowly over a number of days. I then have to drain some water out of a radiator to get the pressure back down. I have removed the filling loop but this did not solve the issue. So I reckon the plate heat exchanger is...

Thanks for the advice everyone, very useful

Hi, Hopefully this is the right place for a question like this, apologies if not. My neighbour has applied for planning permission to increase our boundary fence to 2.5m, it's currently 2m. Their stated reasons for doing so in the application are to protect our privacy since they have built a...

Thanks, there's nowt wrong with the design, it's just maybe it's not suitable for about 10mm or more of water flowing past the interlock. Normally this doesn't happen, but when used to take the run off from a whole roof it could be too much. But if you've never experienced an issue then great...

Thanks for the replies, Yesterday it rain quite heavily so I was looking at where the downpipe discharges out the window and thought there seems a lot of water going down those tiles. So I went outside and looked and the end of the tile overhanging the gutter and there was water spluttering...

Hi All, What do people think of this? I have a downpipe from the main roof which empties onto a porch roof which in turns empties into a gully. In heavy rain is there not a possibility of the water coming from the downpipe "overloading" the interlock on the tiles and then getting behind the...

No, but could I find a roofer that was prepared to work? If we get a decent deal for the self-employed (I'm self employed but not in one of the trades) that was enough to cover your monthly outgoings, would you do any jobs?

So all shops selling non essential items are to close. Does that include Screwfix, Toolstation, plumbers/builders merchants? What about garages, Kwik Fit for example? Also makes you think about how long until items are in short supply as factories shut down/have workers off ill. Will we be...

Hello, I've attached two images, one of the wall (in red) downstairs and one of the wall (again in red) upstairs. So downstairs there is nothing abutting the wall, it is one long wall with an offset and two doors. The longer section is about 4.2m, the shorter about 3.45m. Upstairs the wall is...

Hi Woody, that's not what I meant, downstairs there are no other walls abutting the wall in question.

Hello, In my house I have an internal (middle) load bearing wall as follows: 1) 4m in length then a dog legged 0.8m offset and then another 3.7m in length, basically the length of the house from front to back. 2) Single 4" brick from foundations to roof. 3) Extends into roof and supports the...

It buried itself!

We currently have a mole, the cat brought a live one home, I rescued it and let it out of the back door without thinking. You can guess the rest! I'm hoping the cat will get it again. Bob

Great, many thanks

Thanks, yes it will be completely accessible. I will put it above the cupboard and run a new cable down to the socket. Sorry for splitting the thread. Bob

Hello, Can I repair a damaged cable using a back box, chock block/terminal strip and a blanking plate? Is this within regulations? Thanks Bob

Thanks

Hello again, sorry for another question! But can I just switch off the circuit I am testing or does it have to be the whole house? Thanks for all your help BTW.

So how to repair this? I done some research and come up with. 1) Replace the damaged cable completely, so will need to find the other end of the cable. Thing is directly above are a sink and shower so access from above is impossible. Also above the ceiling are water and CH pipes, very...
