Will do but as above really.

Had the boiler about 2 years and only realised when looking at the boiler with ms in the shower. Should of been fixed by now right?

Yes but being a combi it takes time to reach the tap - not exactly dangerous but not safe unless you know.

Thanks will give them a call to confirm. It's a bit of a joke really as opentherm works on heating but not on the hot water side, obviously if you wire this up as a traditional thermostat then you can control the hot water temp from the boiler controls.

Correct, the dial on the boiler cannot be set as opentherm is being used.

Yeah thought as much but rather ask here first as quicker than getting BC out for one check and they're so hard to get hold of.

Hi all, My Baxi 836 boiler relatively new works all fine with the nest thermostat for heating using opentherm but when it comes to regulating the temperature of the hot water it will always go to 68 degrees (assume max) rather than the temp set from the nest. I assume this is something to do...

Thanks guys I will check the spotlights guidelines. My steel will be in the ceiling and therefore the fire resistent plasterboard shall just butt up against normal plasterboard, hence asking the question as the spotlights might well be drilled into the fire plasterboard. Thanks

Hi all, Is there any regs on how close I'm allowed to fit spotlights to a steel structural beam? TIA

Just to update, changed out the drill bit to a stepped drill applied loads of pressure and boom we're in business. Tech screw took ages compared to the stepped drill bit not sure how you guys managed it (they are a decent set too). Got there in the end, thanks all for advice.

Ha, I forgot this is a place for commercial advice ;)

This site is never short of sarcasm :LOL:

Thanks everyone for the response. What were those that managed to screw through using the Tek screws beams made of wood?! I'm drilling with a small cobalt drill bit 3mm applying pressure not getting anywhere - web is iirc 7mm thick.

Cheers, I have the tech screws already but need to do the drilling first, which is proving very difficult. I can go down this route, but is is allowed regs and everything?

Cheers Deluks, I tried drilling a small pilot hole maybe 3mm, it's taking a long time and hardly making a dent - this is a standard handheld drill working slowly using lubricant, is there any other faster alternatives?

Hi all, I need to fix fireboard around the steel beam, first of all I need to attach noggins. I've been told from various tradesman that were doing other jobs in the property at the time they mechanically fix noggins however another said to just to knock them in and not attach to the steel...

Hi all, My return brick works is slim up to my bi fold to prevent a step in. This proves a little difficult there is a wind post in the corner. How would i insulate this void but for then plasterboard to be dot and dab over the top. There is nothing for the plasterboard to hang onto. I can...

Hi, I'm wanting to fit plaster in the wall lights, before dot and dabbing. These require some space behind the 12.5mm plasterboard, essentially and for ease the removal of a whole brick. I'm looking at x4 plaster in lights, however one of them would be right over the middle of a steel beam -...

Cheers cdbe puts my mind at ease. If anyone has tips to dot and dab please let me know.

Hi, I'm new to dot and dabbing and admittedly struggling, I've only accomplished three boards and cannot seem to get them perfect, will the skim coat go over these boards or will they require correcting? There is a couple of mm high and low points between them.. Thanks
