You can wash it in soap, or wash it in soda Nothing will remove that Billingsgate odour

Nor me, but for different reasons. But I sell tonnes of it thought the year.

Hope for what, that we loose access to our fishing grounds, or access to our largest market place for fish. We are unable to get haddock at the moment.

This is why, I believe, it got added to the system. Stops all that sort of nonsense.

This was something that got added to MCS about a decade ago, to do with wind and snow loading. Installations on old roofs have also been a concern.

is there any advantage to you having a taller house? Will your builder pay for the retrospective planning application? And then if it fails, put it right?

I seem to remember that in France it is the Town Mayor that has all the powers on planning and building. But many years since I lived there. I like Normandy, Calvo was my drink of choice, but could never remember what it tasted like.

Should be able to. LEDs are constant current devices (usually), so some details of the actual LEDs is necessary.

They same way that Charlotte grabbed you by the nuts when you suggested dogging. Have it with £2k I think you meant to type.

Are you sure, I could be like that bloke that wants to buy your walk on glazing, just keep stringing you along, then offer to pick it up if you pay for the 400 miles journey.

Find the SIM card and bend it. Or get a mobile phone blocker nearby, they cannot be hard to make.

Let me know how you get on with it. I have some small, "St. Ives", picture frames I want to spay up. Not sure when I will be passing, was going to see my Mother, but think she is now in Tier 3, so may have to rethink plans for my 2 weeks off.

I was at the SW Self Build show a year ago, only one company seemed to stand out, until I spoke to them. If I don't know anything, which is a lot of the time, I usually call my local college and ask there. What end of Cornwall are you? A Plymouth based installer is not that close to Penzance.

Pull it apart and see what sensor is in it. Probably a cheap one.

Hard to say, as generally, biomass burners need to work at their maximum to be most efficient. It could be that the heat losses from the TS are higher. Where is it situated? How well insulated is it? Taking @PeterWfigures, the store holds about 18 kWh of useful thermal energy. So should heat up in 2 hours.

30 kg is about 135 kWh primary energy. So once efficiencies are taken into account, you may be getting 100 kWh into the thermal store.

Well short of something being wrong with it, and the EPC numbers being well out, I would think it is.

I shall, for the matters of implicitly, reduce that heat load to 12,000 kWh/year, and assume that the heating is on for 160 days. So that is a mean of 75 kWh/day. But on the coldest days, you will need at least twice that, 150 kWh. Now your boiler is 18 kW, at its very best, in ideal circumstances, but probably closer to 15 kW. So it needs to run, just to cover the heating loads, between 5 and 10 hours a day.

A number of (general) things come to mind. If you can sort it out privately, do so. Can the SE pay, no point claiming against a person that cannot. Can you afford to chase a debt. Was it paid for on a credit card, can you claim on that. It the claim small enough to use the small claims court.

How large is you thermal store, your objectional biomass burner, and what are you heat loads?

The only thing about a cylinder adding energy to a house in winter, is that it is an uncontrolled source and may be adding it into an area you do not want. What you can do is fit it into a well insulated airing cupboard, then put one of the MVHR extractions in there.

The problem is the standards used. If I remember correctly, a standard test just looks at the standing losses over a short period of time. You can estimate the losses over any time period by calculating the losses in the same way you would a walk i.e. the conductivity, times the surface area, times the mean temperature differences.

Yes. And the sun is not getting any hotter. You can work out the max temp from the power of the sun (no more than 1200W.m-2) and the SHC of the material the frame is made from (PVC 840 - 1170 J.kg-1.K-1, Timber between 1300 and 2500). Expansion of PVC is 50-6 m.m-1.K-1, timber 3-30 -6 m.m-1.K-1

Good man. The kind of thing you are spraying is similar to the small things I need to do.

Down here, that is a cove.
