Hallo Ivan , good to see you, we still have sixty of your toobs working hard on the roof, 16 years and counting of hot water. Shame the old Ivan-tron empire imploded after you left, still onwards and upwards

UFH with a suspended floor basically comes down to one run up and down the room between each joist which should give a decent output provided you can fix and draughtproof the insulation to a good standard between the joists. Tackling that from underneath is almost impossible IMO, how would you cross...

We've built loads of timber framed garden buildings, the majority of them avoid PP if they have a flat roof that is less than 2.5M high if within 2m of the boundary, check your council website but it is almost certainly permitted development if less than 20% the garden area. Building control wont be...

I bet you're right Mike about crud in the injector. The mist coming from the exhaust would suggest fuel is getting pumped in to the cylinder but I bet the spray pattern is all mucked up and it wont fire. I had a big old Perkins diesel which was a terror for doing just that, the teeniest bit of grit ...

oh yeah, that would be he :facepalm: , what was he before he changed to gravy miner tho AND more importantly is he now here with his wealth of experience ? Mox AKA noelsquibb and I think "Heidi" at the old place, I think he did pop in here in the early days to say hallo but I can't rememb...

Forgive me for the silly question, but why start dismantling the wall from the bottom? I did something similar a while back on a smaller scale to be fair and we took it all down from the top, no propping needed.

I think at the Bluebell railway the talk is of importing coal from China w...

I never went down the ASHP install route despite being a heat engineer for 35 years. One reason was that forcing householders to ditch the boiler to qualify for the grant seems just nuts to me, is that still the case? I never understood the logic of not having a boiler sa a back up for the coldest f...
