    Bedroom wall stain mystery..

    Render layer was a cement / sand mix (not sure exactly what he used) with a waterproofing additive. Top coat was standard plaster - so presumably gypsum based. Re gutter - its just a thin layer of dust washed off the roof - although agree might look a bit deeper. FYI the roof has no felt - its...

    Bedroom wall stain mystery..

    Thanks for your thoughts. Extra pics below. Re: 3) We had the kitchen wall removed to enlarge kitchen. Yes we should have had the chimney breast removed at the time but it wasnt in budget - hence just capping it at the base. 5/6/7) I had the plaster & render comletely hacked off a few years ago...

    Bedroom wall stain mystery..

    I have attached a few more pics. They do seem to point to the flue chimney as being the culprit. I am 99.9% sure water is not getting into the chimney but have had my suspicions it could be condensation as it is only open at the top (inside roof). It was capped at the base 20 years ago at...

    Bedroom wall stain mystery..

    I've been trying to get to the bottom of this problem for years - and hoping someone might be able to throw some light. We have a damp /stained patch about 1m sq in an upstairs bedroom that starts just above the skirting. Its a solid external wall with painted pebble dash rendering externally...

    Repairing concrete floor edging damaged by carpet fitters

    Its about a cm deep in places & a bit loose & powdery so just needs a level surface to glue grippers to. You are right I'm not going to glue them - fitters are..

    Repairing concrete floor edging damaged by carpet fitters

    Hi I have a concrete floor covered in lino tiles (60s house) and am preparing for new carpets. Previous carpet layer though it would be a good idea to nail the grippers into the floor which of course broke up the lino & concrete at the edges. I plan to glue new grippers but wondered if...

    Baxi Barcelona Lockout

    Jane I have to say I admire your staying power. I'm a patient man but I'd have ripped the boiler off of the wall by now and had it crushed...slowly and painfully - and gone to ...well any other manufacturer except Baxi. Explosions...smell gas down the garden...I think your boiler is...

    Baxi Barcelona Lockout

    I've had lockout problems with my Suprima which led me to this forum. When I saw the number of replies to this thread I got curious. ...and the problems I've been having seem to pale into insignificance relative to this.. I am amazed that in the 21st century the main manufacturers are still...

    Even More Suprima 50 lockouts

    so geeza, is this mod official potterton or are you fully conversant with the entire workings down to component level of the pcb to such an extent that you have been able to diagnose the problem and come up with a suitable fix? Or is this something passed on via the exlusive boiler engineering...

    Even More Suprima 50 lockouts

    I have an 80 thats just started lockout problems and judging by this forum, no one, not even Potterton can provide a difinitive solution. Sounds like a good old fashioned design fault that would require some R&D by Potterton to sort out....but at £150 a PCB - a blatant rip off - why should...
