@Alan Ambroseour solicitor is no longer practicing and is in I'll health ( husbands BIL ?) so don't feel I can approach him. He was abit eccentric and fell out with the other solicitor too! @Mr Punteri will post wording when I get home. We bought property with DPP already approved. Consisted of usual extension, garaging, upgrades ect but nothing detached, granny annex or anything that could be sold as a separate dwelling.

Feeling genuinely sick.....we bought our property with DPP and in the knowledge that there was an uplift clause. But in general terms is payment triggered once the work has started/ completed? Or does any obligation end when the 20yrs is up despite carrying out building works? There is a 20yr limit which is up this December. Why am I panicking now??? Since husband died recently I needed to get my ducks in a row and had completely forgotten about this major issue. I know Any retired solicitors on this forum!

There was barely enough water to paddle never mind swim 😀....would never attempt it in a carpeted room though! And I was much much faster than Gene Wilder!!

@marshianWe@marshian There's z bug di I can't delete your name. Anyway, both rads are heating up again!

@marshianWe@marshian Surface mounted pipes on ground floor. Pipes under floors on floor. I'm fairly confident I have the correct route by which everything heats up. Just have no idea why the two rads decided to stop working after months of trouble free heating.

Well, I did it! Saved 120 quid too. No leaks, dead easy.....thanks @marshian

That's what I thought the only other option was!! I'll think about it Thanks for the vid

Hi Do I have to drain the system to replace a valve on the tail or is there a workaround? Plumber asking for £120....is that reasonable?

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I need help again! System has been running perfectly since my last post but yesterday the 2 troublesome rads ( kitchen and study ) have suddenly stopped heating up, I've changed and touched nothing. The kitchen return valve has started to leak but that's it.....I'm exasperated....any ideas ?

@thetdog666 'plate heat exchanger blocked'.....is that expensive to fix. Just so I know if they coma back with that scenario

I've asked the question but no reply yet. What other tests should I asked them to try?

Hi Tenants have been in a week and flagged up the shower is running hot then cold and so on, pressure drop too. It's a combi boiler but not that old. Don't want to be ripped off by plumber so what could be the issue?

@dave1967 did you cure the problem? If so how? I'm baffled. I pulled the insulation away from the felt, cleared the moss from the roof.

Any idea what's causing this damp? There's a rafter directly above that's wet at the base and the chimney is behind. The work the roofer did hasn't cured it!! He gaurentees for 12 months

So a week or so on and everything is good with all the rads heating beautifully. ( not a minor achievement! ) I'm still miffed that I cannot shut off 5 rads in the rooms that are unused. I'm heating them unnecessarily and I'm desperate to save on bills. Even turning down the Trvs effects those I use. I'm sorry to keep bothering you kind patient bods but is there anything else left I can try??
