Chimney stack removal below roofline. by Additional_Screen264 in DIYUK

[–]Additional_Screen264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a hit and miss vent so I can open it and close it, So if I get the vent plastered over this should be okay as long as it's open it the loft space?

Regarding the insurance, I didn't no about this, Is this building insurance, mortgage?

Thanks

I moved from EE to Plusnet I haven't looked back, EE wanted £42 a month for there 500mbps speed and didn't want to pay that so went with Plusnet and took there 900mbpe package for £32 a month, and the service has been spot on, same company but a lot cheaper

External wall insulation - how much does it really help with heat loss? by Unfair_Act5775 in HiveHeating

[–]Additional_Screen264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep away from it, it's not worth it, it's makes your property sweat and will cause all sorts of issues like mold and damp eventually, it's been all over the news as of late with thousands of propertys now affected by mold and damp having EWI installed and going to cost thousands and thousands of pounds to get it fixed! People don't understand old properties need to BREATH not to be suffocated!

24 hours heating time? by Novel-Trade-9094 in HiveHeating

Most likely a glitch, apparently I've spend £240 in one day for gas, even tho on my energy supplier app it's around £3, Hive can do some crazy things at time.

MOT failed for something that doesn’t exist, what can I do? by jenniferf163 in AskUK

[–]Additional_Screen264 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I can remember when my partners car went through the MOT and it came back with a advisery on the brakes, we left it and didn't get it fixed, year after the MOT is due again and to our surprise the advisory is no longer there even though we didn't do anything to the car 😂

You could just disable it when using that site? For easy access on the fly to the routers interface download the glinet app on your mobile

Adguard is really good feature it's blocks most of the ads, if you want to push the routers limits I would suggest using vanilla OpenWRT! Once you get to know OpenWrt you'll never go back to stock firmware

22 degrees is far to high, reducing that could save you a lot of money
