I used https://ovaeda.com It’s really good stuff but … the ‘special ‘ brackets and screws bump the cost a lot . I choose this because of the aluminium frame I.e do once and it should last forever

Only to happy to help as always

You shouldn’t be in the woods on an evening . Cornish people do strange things in those situations . It’s not normal

Not heard of that - will give it a try . There I was believing that ct1 was the be all and end all of bonding .

Spitting image of her

Got my recycled plasticy stuff decking and trim . Tried ct1 , gripfill etc . The trim sticks for a bit - but after rain , sun , hot , cold always eventually comes loose . There will be a lot of trim ( to hide all the shit cuts ) . What magic sticky stuff bonds this plastic stuff so nothing on earth can seperate it ? No good doing a mechanical fixing as screw through plastic trim into plastic decking just wears the fixing and then it pops off also …

Looks like my build anyway . Rusty steel , rubble everywhere and a leak .

My ( now ) world famous expression “ knobbing the donkey “ comes to mind .

@garrymartin if I’ve not mentioned it before and you do get a face 2 face - have a recording pen …. Well worth the investment

You keep going ! I know what it is like . Councils like broad terms to refuse you on with no specifics . You have to push them into a corner to define them . Good luck .

Thats a neat trick 👍

There will be a profit . Maybe 20k over 18 yrs . Stellar investment

Nice find 👍👍👍👍

I reckon I could do a solo with felicity .

As usual with these situations I’m getting information “ as and when “ . So not being on site with hands on info makes judging this difficult. Further research by myself has yielded that a number of flues have failed at this development over the last few years . That does indicate a genuine problem.

The co meter was from the Worcester Bosch guy . There’s no up side to him ‘failing ‘ the flue . He would not fix it anyway as it’s not part of the boiler . Before him a cp12 was done - which failed on co - so I assume it’s real . Though appreciate it’s an easy thing to BS …..

Ok . I’m guessing the coloured screws will be more tricky . Don’t need exact match ( pewter ) I’ll take a look 👍

Stuck in a 5 yr mortgage so would suffer heavy fees . Had it 18 yrs *hoping* for its value to rise substantially. It hasn’t . Need to get this fixed anyway . But selling ( even after dreaded CGT ) is on my mind .

Apparently there was an issue . Boiler engineer found no fault with boiler . Did a co check expecting zero and got 300 . His analysis was it had failed

Only need a few of these ( of each type ) . Cedral click cladding screws . Not paying the quoted 100 quid for a box of 200 for the coloured ones and then 90 quid for the plain steel ones ! Anyone identify what these screws are ? I.e their type so I can try and find a cheaper alternative.

I assumed a co detector was in there - that would be the agents responsibility

Difficult = impossible. I’ve never seen it and there appear no plans showing flue route . Last week on another property got the roof repair quote of 2k …. that prompted a fragrant response , considerable swearing and then ; like you followed by ‘proceed’ …

It’s a flue per flat apparently. I spoke to the freeholder about insurance claim . Magically as always it’s not covered . No one appears to know where the flue runs exactly . I’m arguing if it goes through any communal area then it should be covered under the insurance. Of course I’m just pissing in the wind .
