What about white melamine-faced MDF? Seems like only a 50% (or so) price premium. How would the cut edges be dealt with?

Thanks, so painted MDF is the best option?

I am having fitted wardrobes and i've asked the carpenter to build the frame and doors to fit IKEA Pax interiors. That will give me loads of flexibility whilst keeping the fitted look. He suggested MDF, and has partially built one wardrobe (in spare room), but i've now realised they are a lot of...

I pressurised to 1.5, rebled rads- its only the two rads on 2nd floor which seem to get air in them and pressure dropped to 1.2. Then bled boiler - hardly any air in that - and repressurised to 1.5. All is now okay. I'll monitor the situation and post back if pressure drops again. Thanks...

Sorry guys. I deliberately reduced the resolution of the pic as the original was too large! The silver hose was indeed the filling loop - thanks. Pressure now at 1.5 bar. Should i now bleed all the rads again? And what about UFH system - doesn't that fill with air too? Finally, how to bleed boiler?

Unfortunately, no sign of silver filling hose. The only silver hose is on the HW cylinder pipework. The filling hose should be on the cold-water-into-boiler pipe, right? Heres a photo of the piping layout (if it helps).

Thanks. So the 0.2/3/4 is not an error code, but the pressure of the system. But why would the pressure have dropped so suddenly? Only thing i have done recently is to bleed rads (as they were full of air). Would that have caused it, or could there be a leak? I have found the section in the...

The boiler is new and was installed about 3 months ago and has been working fine. However, overnight it has stopped working as it should. The main display shows an error code that is flashing. It was briefly 0.4 (i think), then 0.3 for a while and, now, 0.2. When in DHW combi mode, the boiler...

Ive had no contact with the heating instllers. I can ask the contractor, but the problem is: he's clueless about details on most things.

I will check. Makes perfect sense. In fact, i hope they've done the bathrooms like that too (but i have a feeling they haven't). Thanks again.

It's possible i guess; is that a typical set up? [I only checked the kitchen tap as i can see the boiler from there (and it's the only sink that has been connected to the drainage)!]

I have an Intergas ECO RF 24. It's recently been installed with a Joule Cyclone indirect UVC. My understanding was the ECO RF can act as a system boiler despite being a combi. However, i noticed that the HW tap in the kitchen appears to be calling for heat from the boiler (as you would expect...

It was hard to take a decent pic, but see the attachment. Ignore the dark area which is the neighbour's extension roof. The apex has the light rough texture with the fibreglass showing. Edit: I've just taken a better picture: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gic8XgEEMSfVNQM13

Very good question, i hadn't noticed that myself! I can't tell from even from the high-res pic, so i'll need to have a look... I was mostly worried about the ponding. Edit: turns out it is just muck; however, there is white fibreglass visible on the apex of the upstand. Is that ok?

What about the ponding on the overhang/canopy? Is that normal?

Not sure. But, clearly, if there is a fall, it's not enough.

This is a question for you professional roofers! I've just had an extension built and the GRP roof does not look great (in my opinion). The contractor has already had to adjust the overhang/canopy as it was completely wrong and collecting a lot of water; but, even after adjustment, some water...

Harrow. Pin5?

With hindsight I now see what you mean. But we laymen don't know these things in advance. And, if you're going to subcontract parts of the project yourself, it adds a fair amount of complexity: you have to then manage those parts yourself. Typically, you put the whole thing to tender and assume...

Okay, i just have to hope they haven't made a pig's ear of my heating system! Although, hopefully not as the contractor claims to have used (and has tried to charge me two grand extra for) two proper heating guys purely because i added a UVC to the spec (even tho i supplied it myself)...
