    Internal sliding door threshold - fill cavity with foam?

    House built in 1979. I believe it was built with the PVC sliding door which we've recently replaced for an aluminium door (as part of a much bigger project). As per the photos, there is a gap between floorboards and rear of door (threshold?) and I can see down the cavity. The DPC is two courses...

    Anyone want to give me a quote?

    OK, I've gone through the saga of repairing my clapped-out Sime Super 90 plus (90,000 BTU) combi by changing the DV. It copes, just, but I think there's more severe problems because it takes ages to heat DHW. Plus it's massive. And I thinks it's dying. So, because I trust the majority of the...

BUT, if I open my main stop tap fully, the water pressure is such that the boiler can't cope - at...

    New diverter valve, now boiler won't fully fire up!

    Hi, My boiler is a Sime Super 90 Plus combi. The diverter valve needed replacing, so I bought a new one and did this. The new valve (seems to) work a treat. BUT, in changing it I think I've inadvertantly done something bad.... When I try to run hot water, or use the central heating, the...
