My 3m x 5m sized shed is being insulated and lined starting tomorrow, The guys are using 9mm ply for the roof and 12mm ply for the walls,

Perhaps you need to build it on something like those concrete mushrooms that farmers used to install to prevent vermin getting into the barns/grain store! :cool:

Do you suppose his day job might be a caller on a horse race? :ROFLMAO:

It would be helpful to know what symptoms/fault caused the Classic to 'give up the ghost'.

When Starmer promised us Change, we didn't realise he meant his staff and, probably, the cabinet! :whistle:

I'm surprised, looking at the agents listing pics, that they got away with the uPVC gutters/pipework particularly on the front elevation. Perhaps there are different rools for 'oop north as opposed to the ones in Surrey/Sussex that I was involved with.

Not to mention soil/waste pipes. If the originals are in lead then don't even think about replacing with uPVC!

The ones that I am particularly familiar with is the Intergas HRE OV and HRE SB range having installed a fair number for clients and also one in our previous house.

Not strictly correct. There are system boilers available that, when running on primary hot water demand, produce full output at a higher temperature but when running on heating can be adjusted to provide a lower flow temperature to satisfy under floor heating, etc. It would be a question of...

Questions: 1. Can the boiler actually throttle down to 5~10% of it's output rating? 2. What are the actual flow (not set temp) & return temps? 3. What do you consider the delta T should be for optimal condensing?

I think you will find that the meter is also owned by the supply company not the utility company who you buy your power from this week. If you change the company to whom you pay your bills to they do not suddenly turn up and change the meter/board. Also any meter faults/issues are dealt with by...

I believe that you can accept a new 'smart' meter but can insist that it operates in 'dumb' mode i.e. it does not communicate with the electricity supplier. This would mean that you would have to submit regular meter readings rather than rely on automatically submitted ones. Might be worth...

TBH we don't know exactly what type of boiler the OP is talking about. Combi? System? Open vented? Are we talking about the pressure and delivery of water from an outlet (tap) or are we talking about the system pressure indicated by the gauge on the boiler? "There's loads of water - it's...

Could it be that the metric scale starts at the outer face/corner of the stock/blade and the imperial scale starts at the inner face/corner of the stock/blade?

As @AESamuel suggests have you checked the squareness (or lack of) with the stock of the square on the righthand side of the blade?

You do not need a total drain down. Just release the pressure via a rad vent until the boiler pressure gauge reads zero. Then pump air into the expansion vessel. The boiler gauge will increase so you let this out from the rad vent and add more air to the vessel. Carry on with this procedure...

Exactly that. You should only top up the air side of the expansion vessel when there is no pressure on the water side. If you can feel what you think is the membrane than the air pressure has gone. When was the expansion vessel air side last checked/topped up? My guess would be never since...

In that case you will have to drop the pressure off the whole system by using a system draincock. If there is water from the schrader valve on the vessel then it will need to be replaced. If not then you will probably have to re-pressurise the vessel to the required level (pre-charge pressure...
