hi again. if i was to put screed on top of the ashphalt, would it be too thin and just crack after i have drove a few cars over it? got a few people in and some said dig it all up and concrete it as everything else will crack as i will be having cars driving over it all the time. thanks.

Very old! Not sure of exact age!

Hi, yes it is a garage floor! ive just discovered that the top layer of the floor is actually ashphalt and it is approx 1cm thick. it comes off really easily and it is solid concrete underneath. would you think its best to take the ashphalt off and concrete everywhere? or just put everything on...

hi, i have a concrete floor, however it is not level. for example one side of the area is perfectly level and cannot go any thicker due to equipment bedded into the floor. however the other side is approx 2 inches lower making it quite a slope. i was initially thinking self levelling compound...

okay, been doing some reasearch and came accross this : http://www.gasapplianceguide.co.uk/torrent_direct.htm disadvantage is that it is electricity heated and it costs quite a bit. but i suppose these will be redeemed by no need of servicing every year, can fit myself, and no need to bring a...

hi, thanks for the great help! i thought i had to use solvent cement! silly me! thanks again

hi, just had to modify my Rainwater downpipe because a soilpipe (horizontal) now comes in the way due to a new bathroom. before the rainwater pipe was straight down into the gutter. now it has to go around the new soilpipe. however some of the joints that i have added are leaking. it is a...

anyone?

thank for the replies. just another question. my cold water at top floor is actually quite good. if someone switches cold or hot water tap on from downstairs, the cold water flow is just below full pressure. will this not be sufficient for the multipoint? thanks

i think its called a multipoint water heater???? if so any recommendations? its only for the bath tap/shower. thanks

right very sorry for the very late reply, but when i did manage to change the diaphragm i had hot water. at last however, now i have another problem. when hw is switched on the boiler fires up no problem. after approx 30secs in turns off and water goes cold. after another 20secs the boiler...

ok then. what about installing just a water boilier just for the bath/shower? thanks

flow at other taps is really good. just below full pressure. is conventional system with a tank? cant really do that as there is no loft space at all. also what about a seperate pump for bath/shower??? thanks

hi, i have 4 floors. 1st:kitchen 2nd:ravenheat combi boiler 3rd: toilet and sink 4th: bathroom w/ shower the problem is that when having shower/bath, if someone else switches hot water on from anywhere downstairs the pressure of the bath/shower is very little or none. you have to wait...

hi again, didnt get a chance to swap/change the diverter valve. however, i checked again and the CH pipe is getting hot when tap is switched on. i also closed the CH pipe, so that no water would flow into that particular pipe and the water from the tap became very hot indeed. does this...

right, i think ive found the problem. as suggested i checked if, with CH cold, heating flow pipe got hot when i switched bath tap on. and guess what. yes it did!!! so now i have to go and replace my diverter valve. hes obviously sold me a dud!!! thanks to everyone who replied. this...

@Slugbabydotcom. i have also changed the CH sensor but just forgot to merntion it. also, ill try the potentionmeter. @Agile what do you actually mean by check at the meter? would that be the mains gas meter? if so it takes (with the hot bath tap on) either 0.045 m3 a minute, or 0.45m3 a...

i did measure it at the bath tap. in 1 minute it produced approx 9 litres. in my other house i have the same boiler and it produces 10 litres in 1 minute and the water is basically too hot to touch if you put the potentionmeter to max.

hi, thanks for the replies. i thought about changing the DHW potentiometer, but when i move to min position the water goes cold. i.e. it works accordingly if i play with the temp. is there still a possibility i would have to change it? thanks

hi, the flow rate is 9 litres/minute. i have no idea what specs are quoted for my boiler. does anyone know? thanks
