Sorry that is a typo. My main contractor fitted them, with supervision from my architect (who designed this crazy scheme).

cutting of two large format 3200 x 160 x 6mm marrazzi tiles into the pieces shown above - £500 plus VAT packaging and delivering all pieces (and leftovers) £100 plus VAT total = £720 inc VAT.

No redesign. No need.

Silly?

I love being mad sometimes

Also a doubter. Come on people, you need to be more optimistic in life!

Nothing wrong with being mad, when it works.

Doubter numero 1

There were a lot of doubters on this thread. It couldn’t be done, they cried. I’m mad, they said. They were wrong: We changed the colour of the towel heater, but otherwise nailed the render spot on! Tile cutting company were excellent. Only mistake they made was that they forgot to label the pieces, which gave me an interesting game to play matching the adjacent tiles; took me a day to match them all up. Was a fun day, though required a lot of care; turns out that 2520 by 40 by 6mm porcelain is harder to slide around than the average puzzle piece. #focuseddetermination #nevergiveuponyourdreams

No, it goes straight up.

I see where you are coming from now. When the "fixer" attended in late Nov to diagnose the issue, he did get some cardboard and light it on fire to see if the flue drew. I can't remember if he went outside to look at whether the smoke came out the chimney. Is that the test he should have done?

Also, i'm no thermodynamics expert but is a partially blocked flue likely when the fire lights so easily and draws very well for a good 30 minutes before the issue developed. I also can't see what it would be blocked with. Brand new installation, with a flue pipe going all the way up to the top of the house.

I agree with this, save that both the original installer and the purported fixer were Hetas registered, so it doesn't sound like such a good accreditation.

I can do that, but as I'm now in a dispute with the company (i sent them a threatening letter by fax a few minutes ago - i know who still has fax, but luckily they do) and rather not post it here as they have a copy of the video and they'll be able to put 2 and 2 together. Anyway, not much to see other than grey smoke billowing out of a tiny gap between two pieces of metal.

Apparently I’m exceeding the file size limit.
