Hi, There hasn't been an option of choice. The whole road is being done and they are all privately owned houses. Some people are even having their pattern imprinted concrete dug up to run pipes without a choice.

Hi, They only looked at where the old meter was which was below the existing boiler in the house and that's all.

I hope they do something with it because the whole job is ugly. Gone from having the gas pipe underground to this. This is the feed which will go from that new meter to old meter area and directly to the boiler.

Hi that piece of pipe is the original pipe under the front garden that went to the right in the mud and behind the yellow cone on the right and then under the gate to the rear of the house. It was buried all the way to the rear. They have exposed it and turned it 90 degrees to the wall and the...

Hi, Cadent have decided to replace the gas mains in the whole road and install new meters on the front of all the properties. The old meter is/was at the rear of the property next to the boiler inside. They have run a copper pipe to the front of the house which is pretty ugly but I don't think...

Hi, The Catnic lintel I bought had no chance of going in at all! All the interior walls and ceilings are fine and there is a solid concrete lintel inside. To put some sort of lintel in there now would mean disturbing that double brick row and its been there for 40 years and seems to have worked...

Hi, There aren't any cracks at all on any of the brickwork above any of the windows. The wooden window that I took out didn't actually touch the line of bricks at all, just the mastic did. I guess there was a reason at the time to run that double row of bricks but I have no idea why. Both of my...

Hi everyone, I took the plunge after taking out 1 brick which still didn't help so I took out the whole window. I bought a Catnic lintel thinking I will be sliding it up into the cavity but I didn't find what I expected to find. I was thinking there was no lintels at all but I found this double...

Hi, I have removed more of the wooden top section in the first pic all the way in and all I can see and scrape is the base of the bricks, similar to the base of the bricks I can see in pic 3 for the window that has already been replaced before I moved here. I know I have concrete interior...

Thank you for the answers. The span is 4ft. Do you think its acceptable to use a Catnic Lintel like this one and by removing the 2 bricks either side of the top of the frame and slide in and then pivot up the lintel in to its place or is that not possible. Im just thinking to not disturb the row...

Hi, I want to change my 4 ft kitchen window as it's old and the double glazing has blown. Its a wooden frame with aluminum and a 10 mill gap in the glass. The house was built in 1971. The brickwork above the window looks like it might sit on the frame but I am not sure. The brick course is...

Hi, We have a problem with the water going in hot and cold cycles to the shower and taps, running for about 60 seconds then the flame cutting out and restarting again about 10 seconds later. This is a long enough break for the water to run briefly cold in the shower and at the taps. When the...

Hi thank you. Do you mean I need to adjust the flow rate on the boiler or just adjust it on the taps and wait for the weather to get warmer. Sorry for the extra question. Thank you

Hi, thanks for helping. I have used a container in the bath and full on hot tap (but only giving lukewarm water) was 14 litres a minute. Tap on lower but giving right temp for a bath was 8 litres a minute. I measured them a few times to check it was fairly accurate. Thank you

I have a Ferroli 2 boiler which I think is also known as a Modena 80e. The problem is the hot water is not hot enough if the taps are run at what would be considered normal speed. If bath or shower taps are fully on for heat it will start running very hot then end up lukewarm. If I turn the taps...

Hi, I have an old beige colour Honeywell room stat that is connected with the blue wire to terminal 1, brown wire to terminal 3 and there is also a green and yellow that is not connected. I want to replace this with a Terrier TRT1 What terminals on the Terrier do I need to connect the...
