No butt joints between joists - I figured P4 18mm Chipboard was 18mm chipboard... its was only after that someone told me you couldn't use the small sheets in habitable rooms. Its basically gone into a small 2.2m x 2.2m bed(box)room and each end sits on a joist and is fixed - From my side I...

Hi Just effectively checking what I've done is okay - We had a rewire and it necessitated taking a line of chipboard out of the room between joists (at 12" centres) down the very edge of an upstairs room - There is a joist tight to the wall and another set into the room, and then the chipboard...

Hi I had a combi installed about three months ago, into a house with a very old conventional style boiler (i.e. header/expansion tank etc). We replaced it because it wasn't working and a combi was more effective. Now when the plumber did the installation he has capped off the hot and...

Hi I have done a bit of research, and it looks like a simpler job to fit an external expansion vessel to the system, rather than pay a corgi guy to remove my boiler, install the component, and refit it again. I am happy to proceed along this route. Can anyone tell me where I can obtain...

Hi I have a ravenheat 84 combi boiler, and have a leak which appears to be coming from the red plastic cap at the top of the boiler (I assume the dust cap for the expansion vessel). Does the system need draining down and repressurising (i.e. bicycle pump), or could it be another problem...
