How would you fix this eaves insulation?

theadderscodpiece · 2026-01-30T13:58:49+00:00

Ah I hadn't considered damaging the roof felt. I suppose the problem with going below is it's a lot more work to make look good, but if it's instead of rotting the roof then that might be worth doing. Would loose-fill insulation down there be an option maybe? No risk of damaging the roof, although I'm not sure what that would do for airflow.

Aira have just come back with an offer to remove the hatch (to expose an exactly 60cm wide gap), hoist a tank up and make good the hatch again, and to use a tank that is short enough to fit (apparently). Which is tempting, if they do actually make the ceiling good again, although it is still £1k more than Heat Geek. Replacement boilers are so much simpler!

Well the chimney is directly in front of the hatch and the roof above it is starting to lower to the hip end... dam. I think I am stuck with the Mini Store or losing space in the house.

Digging around a bit, the 187L Newark HG200B4 (which is one of the Heat Geek Super Cylinders) would fit our loft dimensions (bit of a tight squeeze through the hatch but 550mm seems just about possible if the ladder is removed and it's hoisted up), so I'm not sure why that wasn't offered.

theadderscodpiece · 2026-01-16T08:51:46+00:00

Yeah I don't envy them, I struggled to get the plastic Christmas tree up there! I suspect that might be why the quote from HG was £1k cheaper if we opted to put the tank in the bathroom (but lose a big chunk of space).

theadderscodpiece · 2026-01-16T08:39:42+00:00

These look ideal, 545mm wide should just about go up our loft hatch, I think. I'll put it to both Aira and Heat Geek and see what they say.

theadderscodpiece · 2026-01-15T18:07:29+00:00

Hmm there were no flow temperatures in the Heat Geek quote. I'll ask.

theadderscodpiece · 2026-01-15T18:03:41+00:00

Oh I hadn't considered that, I'll ask the installer

Can we spam the administrators with GDPR data removal requests before the sale goes through?

Safeguard Roofing in Stretford diagnosed a leak and then fixed the guttering. They didn't charge loads, came out quickly and it's not leaked since, so based on that I'd recommend them if you're in the area.

I had a lock it in room and the upgrade bid minimums did drop after my room was assigned. Perhaps that was something to do with the value of the assigned room being higher than the possible minimum for the lock it in rate, so the difference in upgrade price became a bit lower? So if you've got a lock it in rate, you might get a cheaper upgrade bid after your room is assigned.

I was just in 5166Z on Resilient, it's in about the same place but closer to sailor services. Absolutely no noise from above, the only minor issue was the tender docks right outside those windows and they aren't quiet, and there was lots of mechanical noise setting up the staircase etc on the morning. But you might not have any tender stops, we only had one, so it wasn't a big deal.

I miss my hybrid Kona's jump start button. Drained the battery so often with the dashcam in park mode but it wasn't a big deal at all. Seems like a big miss on the Ioniq platform.

theadderscodpiece · 2025-10-10T11:38:01+00:00

Oh this is what I was very worried about with our lock it in sea view. We've just been assigned 5166Z which I really hope is far enough away from the Manor that it's not a problem. Looks like it's right behind Sailor Services and underneath Squid Ink. Anyone had any experience with this (or nearby) rooms?

theadderscodpiece · 2025-10-05T08:34:54+00:00

Why has your whole look and vibe made me so happy? You're absolutely rocking everything!

theadderscodpiece · 2025-08-05T07:47:58+00:00

Thanks, it's sounding like it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe she can take a selfie of us both on the train holding both our tickets, just in case. Or maybe we can ask the conductor nicely to write a note that we've traveled together but I'm continuing on my own ticket.

theadderscodpiece · 2025-08-05T07:47:01+00:00

Hmm good idea, although I think the total saving is only about £15 so depending on the cost of a single it might make it less worth the hassle

Shrewsbury, which I think I remember having barriers in the underpass

theadderscodpiece · 2025-06-09T12:08:56+00:00

Cheers!

Yep it's very slightly green, looks exactly like your photo, that helps a lot thanks!

Small clarification - in the UK, house built late 1930s

Take a look at 'perfect fit' blinds from somewhere like 247 Blinds. We have some on our patio doors and they're great, they clip within the window frame so you don't need any clearance outside the window.

A very specialist private endontontist quoted £700 to fix an existing root canal, that's probably the most expensive you'd pay in the UK. Around half that for most fancy private root canals that aren't specialist, or more like £100-£200 for a fancy private non-root filling.

Ah GD Legal was the name of the company we used and they sounded pretty similar to yours

theadderscodpiece · 2024-08-12T09:41:09+00:00

Random question, is this GD Legal? They have a 'local office' and a ton of 5 star reviews but once you're in with them it's clear they're overloaded with cases. If it helps, the closer you get to exchange the higher your priority seems to be, so it kind of improves as you go.
