No, I was meaning something like these. http://www.hotline-chimneys.co.uk/chimney-cowls-caps/redundant-flue-caps.html But not sure what is suitable for that chimney. I need an idea of what is a reasonable estimate for the labour.

Sorry I should have mentioned, yes leaks coming through to downstairs room. what are inserts ? This has been done and flashing sealed around stack.

Could someone give me an approx estimate to cap a very tall chimney, Had problems trying to find someone reliable so want to be forearmed with some knowledge as to costs and questions to ask. Thanks pic removed

Thanks - now why didn't I think of that ! :oops: I guess I thought it just referred to the uplighter, as it was written on that part. I'll check the other bulb when I am next there to see if it is 60W.

What does ' 230v/max. 300/60W' mean - reason for question below My parent has a pretty old Trio Leuchten mother and child lamp. It was not used for a long time, but came into use last year, using the uplighter part. The bulb went and I replaced it with Energy Saving Linear Halogen Lamp...

Yes, I reckon it is plasterboards, sound like it when i tap it. Thanks, Ill just fill and get on with painting then.

What is the magic ingredient in sugarsoap as opposed to just using detergent ? I need to prepare walls and woodwork and was just thinking of using diluted washing up liquid or diluted stardrops.

I've just started to prepare a bedroom for painting and noticed a crack in the corner of the bedroom ( which is corner of house) running from ceiling to about 6 inches from floor. House is 10 years old. crack is just about wide enough for me to get my fingernail in. Should I just...

had a disaster trying to paint an 'artexed' ceiling with matt paint. House is 10 years old and we have never painted ceilings, suspect they are as the builders left them (sort of cream colour). Had a little trouble seeing where I had been with roller and it seemed that where I...

Boiler now been working for just over a week. It took an email to CEO and MD's of Eaga to get it sorted. A couple more visits from engineer and the last part replaced was spark generator and leads. Relieved that managed to get it fixed before this spell of weather but five months...

I now realise that this is what the 3rd engineer was suggesting. I went into a Plumbcenter the other day and asked if engineer had suggested putting a 'tensieve' on the line what do think they meant. They said do you mean tundish. I've no idea where I got my word from! This could have...

Last visit was from chief Warmsure engineer who checked gas pressure , changed valve, ignitor and new trap. Also said our condense pipe they we had altered was ok. No Toolie - interesting, I'll see what happens next week. I'll see if I can speak to engineer personally. Judging from the...

more update on events in detail next week when I find out outcome but I'm thinking a new boiler is going to be the only solution as more parts changed today and problem re-occurs. so question is what would be an equivalent replacement 1. from Ideal range (obviously that would not be my...

I'm literally shaking with rage. Sent a recorded letter stating I expected full refund. No answer, tried to get through today - took 15 minutes to speak to anyone Ideal switchboard kept cutting off or no answer to extension I asked for. Anyway they said they had sent me a letter today...

You are indeed out of touch. Phone Ideal for a boiler fix and you get referred to Warmsure. Parents were charged £299 which breaks down to £210 for fix (still waiting for) and £89 for yearly policy. I think they they were only given the £299 as an option. Policy administered by Homeserve...

Speaking from personal experience my advice would be not to call Ideal. In the long run it may be better to fit a new boiler. Sorry - not the helpful response you were hoping for.

not true - they go to paying customers too. My parents went to Ideal(Warmsure) because they thought they would be getting experts on the boilers. Contract taken out September, still have no resolution or full refund. Additional costs incurred on their advice. Agree with gas4you's comment...

I don't think there is(or was) an installation defect, I think that was Ideal just trying to get out of it. I'm not at location so piccys difficult.

Have spoken to trading standards. Ideal have offered partial refund but I am going to reject that as we have also paid a separate plumber to move condense pipe, so will be quite a bit out of pocket. I will consider going to media if don't get at least full refund. BG was going to be my...

Problem still not fixed. Had larger condense pipe installed to a new location. Ideal have given up, claiming 3 engineers said there was an installation problem. Having called the 'experts' i.e manufacturer, I'm not sure who to call now. I guess you guys don't recommend BG but I don't...
