Hi. Why is no body replying to this post?

Hi all. We have an ARISTON Combi A Series boiler in our loft. The last number of years we have had a number of instances where it has either cut out for no apparent reason or lost pressure. The cut outs are very infrequent and so are not at this time a concern. The pressure loss however...

Hi all Just moved to Barnsley and need some good and not overly expensive scaffolding companies that work in the area. I run a Roofing company and need some reliable companies to quote me a number of jobs. So, if anyone should know of a scaffolding company that you were happy with, please...

Many Thanks. Yep, I just need to convince my wife that this was not one of her better ideas. Many thanks again to you all DG

Hi everyone. My wife has once again been watching far too many home improvement programs and has given me my next project, but I have my reservations. We have a raised patio built using red/orange brick with cheap stone flags on top. To stop people falling over the edge is built a knee high...

Hi. Need a fully water tight seal, and pleasing to the eye solution to a problem. Two roofs, both the same pitch, but the adjoining properties roof is around 1-3" higher. It currently has coping stones over the join but don't really want them replacing. The height diffence is too small to use...

Hi. Once again many thanks. So, no cement, and a grit sand. Grit sand is the same as sharp sand is it not?

Hi. Thanks for the input. So, is cement not used at all? Also, and sorry for all the questions, what type of aggregate would be best? As formally mentioned it is a stone wall at the front and we are thinking of just pointing this one for the moment. Average size mortar joint.

Thanks for the reply. So for a mortar mix for a stone wall, what should be the ratio? Is cement used at all?

I have a friend who is considering having their house pointed. It is stone faced at the front, brick at the rear and brick also on the side of the house. Now, they have been there around two years and it appears that they have a lot of damp in the house, and they are wondering if it needs the...

Evening all. I am tomorrow going to look at a little job for a friend. He is going to buy a summer house. I think he said that it is around 3.6 by 3.6 metres. The people supplying the shed said that they could lay a foundation of crush and run and then lay some flags on top. All for around...

Hello everyone. May I say from the start, thanks for reading this. Yes you! Right, on with the show. I am having problems with our ARISTON Combi A 24 MFFI boiler. It has been losing pressure and cutting out. I have located a leak on one of the radiators and intend to replace it. However I did...
