My central heating system is very noisy and about 25 years old. I have a back boiler in the lounge, and a header tank in the loft, and a immersion heater in bedroon #4. I want to get rid of all of these and just have a good combi loatced in the garage heating eveything. I would like to know roughly the cost for this (not going to replace any rads) and any specificaitons regarding placement of the combi. It will be placed on an exteranal wall, faceing onto our own land, with a flue of its own. I have a corgi plumber lined up to do the work, but I'm just looking for ideas and suggestions as to how i can get the whole thing done as smoothly and cheaply as possible. Is there any boiler you recommend. Which are the most efficient etc. which to remove first - header, boiler or immerision etc. do it all in 1 week, or bit by bit?

our garden is 126 feet long and 17 feet wide. when you are standing on the patio area outside the conservatory doors,your feet are level with the top of fence at the bottom of the garden. therefore,over 126 foot the garden level drops 6 foot ? What gradiant of the drop from the top to the bottom of the garden ? I have the idea of having a brick wall built ,17 foot wide and 6 foot high across the bottom,and two walls built up the sides,these two walls would be 126 foot each ,then the measurements become more approximate than accurate ? (ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE) the two side walls would vary in height the closer you get to the patio area ,the walls would finish just short of the patio area . starting at the bottom of the garden the sidewalls would be 6 foot high for 20 foot length then 5 foot high 20 foot length then 4 foot high 20 foot length then 3 foot high 35 foot length then 2 foot high 30 foot length to patio area ,ground level ? homeowners,terraced,side access only HELP ?

I don't think my heater is working correctly, the air just feels luke warm when it runs and it seems to run a long time. How hot should the air be coming out? Should you be able to feel the heat?

I dont want to hide it with drylining over it, on the outside chance the dampness should ever come back.

Has anyone ever used Naturalawn. I have a small lawn, about 60ft by 60. They want to charge me $61 per treatment for a total of 7 treatments for the year. This seems really expensive. Is this worth it? Can I do this myself? I don't really understand what it is they are doing.

It was a small fire contained to the microwave last night. I put the microwave in the garage, but the whole down stairs smells like smoke. Does anybody have suggestions for how to get rid of smoke smell?
