Ok I understand, thanks for clearing that up. Marvin

Thats a bugger but I guess putting it in the garage does defeat the purpose :) I have a flat roof garage so may be the top of the lower ground floor celing is above the roof of my garage, I'll have to investigate. Thanks Marvin.

Hi, I'm looking at getting some some air conditioning installed in the home, I want to make it permanent so like the look of the split systems. Do you think I would be ok installing it in the hallway just before the stairway, on the other side of the wall is my garage, would the external...

After further research I have found products such as snowcrete and also natural hydraulic lime. Are any of these suitable for what I need ? Many Thanks Marvin.

Below is a picture of the brickwork I am trying to sort out. I want to get a good match on the cement. Thanks Marvin

Hi, I had a new front porch put on the house last year and the builder managed to match it perfectly. Obviously I probably would not do as good job but it doesn't have to be perfect as the area will most likely be covered. I'm thinking to put white fascia boards to cover the wood frame and...

Hi, I've just installed a new garage door and had to change all the frame around the entrance. While doing this I lost a lot of the cement. Now the new frame is in place I want to fill the gaps with cement. The cement used on the front of my house is almost white like, i'm not an expert on...

Hi, The installer chap has now removed the programmable 7 day timer and set it back to the manufacturers default settings. The mode selector still does not do anything which means my CH is on constantly. The only thing I can do is set the boiler CH thermostat to minimum so the rads are...

Hi, I had a new boiler installed a while back in the winter with an external 7 day programmable timer. All works ok with the timer switch and the thermostat controls on the front of the boiler, however the mode selector switch doesn't do anything. If I switch it to off it happily...

Yes, your probably right. But what about the log book ? What can I do about that ?

I'd decided that I'd give the installer a call tomorrow to take a look, I've had a look at the instructions and stuff did a few things. Anyway I've found I don't actually have a log book from the installation and the button on the front to set it to HW or OFF or HW/CH doesn't actually do...

I just ran a test, I emptied the water store by putting the shower on, then watched the temp gauge on the boiler, within about 4 minutes it went down to 35 degrees. I will run the test from cold as you suggest and see what happens to the rads. If everything looks ok, can the boiler's flow...

I can not take the water slower when having a shower, it has an on/off button only :), there is something in the loft though for the shower, I wonder if that could be adjusted

Yes I see, but surely the boiler should still give me the water at the same temperature but just at a slower rate ? Marvin

Same happened again this morning, the CH was on, lovely and warm. Had a shower, ok for a minute or so then the temperature dropped, tried to increase the shower thermostat but it wasn't happy at all. I think I will have to call the installer back, weargas you said "snapped stem on the dhw...

The light units say to fit 60W ES Screw cap bulbs, thats what I did, the cheap jobbies from wickes. So, which should I try first, rough service or long life ? Cheers Marvin

I put the HW thermostat on full too but this didn't really make a difference. I've turned down the CH a bit too, I'll see how it goes next time, if no better then I'll get the installer back.

ok, i guess I can try that next time, not very scientific though :)

Ok, I'll give that ago. If I'm honest, they are the cheapest bulbs money can buy :)

I've had a new Linea max floor standing combi boiler installed about 4 months ago along with all new pipework/radiators. Basically the whole system is new. Its been working fine and the pressure I'm getting is amazing compared to my last combi unit. Recently with the cold weather I put the...
