Just a little update on the final result of having the hive installed. The British Gas engineer come out, I told him about the radiator in the front room being controlled separately or so I was told by the previous owner, he told me this isn’t the case after looking at the wiring, and decided to...

I have the exact same issue and my roofer said some people mortar them some don’t, knew it was bullshit. Great so I have a draughty roof or have the tiles taken off and put back down again.

Hi everyone, I purchased a semi-detached which has come with a few issues. My house has a tiled roof and next door is slate, after a few months of being in the house we noticed a slight leak in the roof where the two houses meet in the loft, turned out they failed to install a bonding gutter...

Yea this was the idea eventually.

Okay, yea mine is in the middle of the house.

Was thinking about stuffing it with something like a chimney sheep or abit of insulation board. You had any issues with the sulphate salts on the wall on the second floor? I didn’t notice it when purchasing the house due to the walls being white, but now I’ve painted the wall a light grey I...

Hi all, so I’m trying to work out the best way to tackle this issue I have. We have an old unissued chimney breast which has been removed from downstairs and the roof but is still left in an upstairs room and partly in the loft. My issue with this is my house is getting really cold in the winter...

Just took another look at the two way valve and it was already set to manual on the side of the box, so it should just be a case of wiring up the new hive and getting rid of the old thermostat. Cheers for the help everyone.

It is the cable for the motorised valve, in the previous post I said from what I can see the valve wire is not linked up to anything. So if the valve is just sat on the pipe and not wired up, I’m guessing it’s already set to open constant? that picture help more? The more I look at the picture...

well that sounds more promising, I was beginning to think It wasn’t going to be possible. So I’d get the single program hive? I have seen on some other posts about people installing the hive with having a separate thermostat and they’ve not been able to get the hive working without...

Thanks for the reply, so as for the pipes expanding noise I had my ear at the side of the valve and it definitely sounded like it was that. It was like a motor noise/ ticking over noise. It’s a noise I’ve never heard before and we’ve been here for a year now. I don’t know if because the boiler...

Thanks for the update. I’m not bothered about having the lounge on a separate circuit, so what would you suggest?

Sorry I did take that photo just forgot to upload it.

Just an update on the picture front. so looking more closely at the zone valve the wires don’t seem to be connected but like I said previously I only found this due to it making a ticking noise after my boiler had been in service mode, this stopped after the heating come back on.

I can get a picture of the valve the floorboard comes up easy enough in the spare room. I’ll also get a picture of the boiler cheers.

okay thanks for the input mate, I’ll get some more pictures when I’m back home from work. Anything pictures in particular which would be more helpful?

So which colours would you suggest where on the hive?

yes there’s a salus two port valve on the second floor beneath the floor boards. Only reason I know this is because it started ticking yesterday after my boiler was serviced. Blue box thing, I had no clue what it was

Yea so when we viewed the house the guy pointed out the front room thermostat, he said it was set to control the heat in the front room only. But there’s no other thermostats in the house. I also asked the engineer regarding it and he was sure it would be for the whole of the house. I’m just...

As far as I’m aware there’s no CH off option on the programmer, we have it set on a timer to come on and then go off. from the way it’s wired up and the diagram from Siemens the off function is 2 and there’s no wires running to 2. Unless I’m mistaken? On the picture 1 & 2 is free , 3/4 is...
