Today engineer sorted problem out of banging boiler. Having fitted a new pump there was still something wrong. They were unhappy with the wiring for the pump and decided that there was no need for a piece of wiring and disconnected it. Everything now working OK. The fee for this work was...

Kev - this is too advanced for me, hence my need for a reliable Corgi man! However, should you need a nice steak and kidney pie - no problem. I can confirm water in header tank.

All the thermostats are full on but problem persists.

Yes - no room thermostat.

I have a Thorne Apollo gas boiler which is situated in the roof space. The boiler started banging last Thursday when it came on. I had previously turned down the thermostats on three of the radiators but this banging did not start until several days after I had done this. I have bled all the...

Well - it's on. I was surprised at the ability to peel off and replace but my nerves are shattered. :shock:

I prefer to use small squares of cardboard (Cornflake packet) which can be used either as single or multiple pieces to allow variation in level of wall.

Can anyone tell me about these bricks. I have the misfortune to have a house built of them and they are very happy to throw their faces off. This house was built in the early 1960's and I will have to repoint at the lowest 2/3 courses (I've got an elfin pick :lol: ). Would it be a good...

Thanks Oilman - sounds like good advice.

One corner of my 1960's semi is just over 3' from an 8' drop to the ground level of the house next door. The retaining wall is brick, is very old, and at some stage has had some bricks removed about 4' up. My garden wall sits atop this to another 6'. The retaining wall needs to be made good...
