I`m looking at installing a loft PPS in my bungalow but does anyone have any experience or idea on how effective a loft Positive Pressure System is when fitted in a L shaped hallway of a bungalow? Does the air creep into and help reduce condensation in the rooms around the corner? I have a...

Could the problem be linked to this? I drained the system last weekend (before putting the c/h on for the first time this winter) to put cleanser/sludge remover in with the intention in a couple of weeks of draining it again and putting inhibitor in. I do this each year as the mains water...

Thanks for reply. Boiler is Worcester Danesmoor oil fired. The valve is a three way Danfoss HSA3. C/H system is pressurised while the dhw has a header tank in the loft.

Can anyone help me with this please? Our boiler fired up this afternoon on auto as normal to heat the dhw but i noticed half an hour later that the c/h rads were hot even though the room stat was not switched on. Could this be a sticking valve of some sort? The system is only two years old.

I`ve assumed that the problem is with the door frame plate but would be glad of any advice.

I have to force the door handle upward to get the lock to engage or disengage, as if the lock is out of line with the frame cutout where the lock engages. The lock works fine in the open position. Does anyone know how to adjust the lock plate on the frame?

Our oil fired boiler/sealed system has run ok throughout the summer for DHW only but since switching on the ch a couple of days ago the pressure has dropped from the normal 1.2 bar to just under 1.0 bar so I presumed the system needs bleeding. I`m ok on the routine for bleeding but is there...

As part of my garage conversion to a dining room I want to raise the floor by 160mm to be level with the concrete step that leads into the garage from my kitchen. Would it be sufficient to use 4" x 2" timbers in joist hangers attached to the walls each side or what other methods are there...

Thanks fellas (or gals) Mike

I`ve had to cut and reroute the 6 core cable to one of the PIR`s on my house alarm where it went through a dividing wall. This was necessary due to other work i was doing. I can buy 6 core alarm cable but i`m asking is it ok to join the new cable to the original and if so is there any way of...

After a site inspection my LABC advise the main criteria the conversion will need to meet is thermal insulation values. What is the best material to use for insulating the stud wall cavity without spending a fortune? How does polystyrene sheeting fare for this? This and the roll/slabs of...
