frost

Winter is approaching and our barn conversion is without a boiler installed, and no mains electricity on the horizon, therefore, no way of heating the place. The ground floor screed has been poured, with the UFH pipes (pert-al-pex) filled and under pressure. My concern is the internal room...

Can't fix issue of my Worcester Bosche combi 25i. Since I moved to my new house back in February, I noticed that the pump kicks in every hour or so and the flow can be heard especially in the heaters upstairs. The flow runs for around 3-5min and then stops, the boiler itself remains silent. I...

Hi everyone – I'm looking for some advice on our 1910 solid brick wall terraced house in the UK which we are planning to renovate. Unusually, it has some prefabricated 105mm thick concrete dormers and I'm not sure how best to renovate them. We are in a conservation zone, so have no choice but...

Hi All, We are in the process of buying a red brick Victorian mid-terrace house. The survey on the house we are looking to buy has identified frost damaged brickwork on the front of the property, most of the bricks are showing symptoms, +60%. How big a job is getting all those bricks replaced...

I have installed Hive but I want to improve the frost protection because there are lagged pipes in the loft which is much colder than the house. Does anyone see any reason why I should not connect the froststat across the 'live' and 'CH on' terminals on the Hive backplate? This should mean that...

Hi We are spring water supplied. It's underground MDPE to the base of our external water tank, which is fine. However the final three feet is a vertical 1 1/4 inch polypipe into the top of the tank. This is exposed to the elements. Any advise on frost protection appreciated. Generally if...

Hi, I have 'frost' building up on the inside rear wall (white plastic) of the fridge at the upper levels only. The compressor seems to be running all the time and the temperature at the rear of the fridge about 1.4 degrees. This is with the Thermostat on a low setting of about 1. When changing...
