Thanks datarebal. The roofer said he would mortar the verge if I preferred but has also pointed me towards Klober Uni-Line continuous dry verge, which I prefer to the ambi-verge. Says he's replaced other makes that have split and faded but this is better quality, similar to guttering.

Further to Stem's comment above my understanding now is that the fixing system is entirely separate to the ridge tiles themselves, so the possibility of fading is not to do with the system but the choice of ridge tile. Looking at the alternative systems (Marley, Manthorpe, Redland, Klober)...

Do you mean Redland Renown or the ridge tiles? I'd be happier if they could add mortar to the joints just for aesthetic reasons but am a bit alarmed by Stem's comment Are they all like that or are there better quality ones out there? Thanks for the quick replies

Would be grateful for some advice. I'm getting the roof of my 1925s house replaced. It's currently got Redland Grovesbury Farmhouse Red tiles, the fitter has suggested Renown Farmhouse red, which seem similar so I'm okay with that. What I don't like is the look of dry ridge system, the...

Hello I've searched the forum for opinions on the best makes of upvc soffits, fascias, guttering etc but it's returning ones from years ago so thought I'd try to find more recent ones. I've come across Swish (although I can see it's had its critics), and I know that Eurocell acquired Deeplas...

Thanks for that comprehensive reply, that's helpful to everyone! Sorry I didn't acknowledge it sooner, I didn't get a notification until I logged back in.

Yes, they're currently per the Duraflex design, from the outside the vent faces downwards. Not as obvious as having them facing outwards. There will be some plastering to do afterwards, I'm guessing I can unscrew them to make it easier for the plasterer. Thanks

Hello, any reason why manufacturers are doing trickle vents differently? I've had four quotes for double glazing, two have the vents in the the sash and two have the vents in the frame. Currently my windows have the vent in a rail above the frame and it's quite discreet but no one has made...

Hello I've had double glazing quotes from longstanding local suppliers each using different profiles - Liniar, Spectus, Deceuninck and Profile 22. From what I've read here, these are all much of a muchness and it'll be down to the quality of fitting. So on to the glazing... The house is on...

I'm answering my own question here so that it might help someone else in the future. It was straightforward to install the VRC720F wireless thermostat and VR920 internet gateway - wire both into the BUS terminals on the PCB (X16). Polarity doesn't matter. I used 0.75mm2 2core multi-strand...

Hi, would appreciate some advice re installing a Vaillant Sensocomfort wireless thermostat VRC720F. It comes with control unit, base station and outdoor temperature monitor. I've also bought an Ambisense starter pack which has three TRVs and a VR920 internet gateway. I'm competent but no...

Ah ok. Shame Vaillant didn't tell me that when they advised me to buy the Starter pack, I thought including everything to needed to get started was the point of it! o_O Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

My media settings were set to 'owner only' so I've changed it to 'everyone'. Maybe that's the reason. It's in the Vaillant Ecotec Plus 831 boiler folder. Thanks

No, nothing else. The starter pack just came with the TRVs and the R920 controller

Hi Chris - there's a photo in my first post - the boiler's electric board, the controller's connection and the app message - can you see it? (It's there when I'm logged in but disappears when I'm not)

Hoping today's weather might mean a Vaillant/Ambisense expert abandons outdoor plans and goes online to rescue floundering diynotters... :)

I've swapped the cable for 0.75mm2 2core multi-strand but it's still not working. I've reversed polarity. I've deleted and reinstalled the app. Still the same message. Please help!

Hello I bought a Vaillant Ambisense Starter pack (three TRVs and control unit) for my EcotecPlus boiler. I've connected the boiler's BUS terminals and the R920 controller's BUS terminals and , set up the Vaillant VRC700 app. There's an internet connection but when I open up the app I get...
