Morning, Graham,

We'll be chasing up Tradespeople, arguing the toss with Aviva over their awful systems [their latest advert says they'll guide you through the maze, but, in practice, they drop you in the middle, and remove all routes to the exit, and ensure that there is no way of contacting a human being] that underpin our claim, and then argue with Scottish Water about the water supply split between the two flats. Then chase up the report from yesterday's Loss Adjustment inspection

Ours are the Open Reach engineer to sort our broadband out and our plumber as the CH pump he fitted last March is now squealing when it works so I'm guessing it's on it's way out.

Aviva tried to call me when I was speaking to the Lead Contractor, so they left a Voicemail Message. The Agent forgot to press 'End' to leave the message so kept the Recording live. Quite an interesting analysis of my complaint with her colleagues! I'll save that Message! :D

Off into Llandeilo this morning for a bimble around.
 
Morning

Head sharpening first thing. Then off food shopping in Carmarthen.
 
Morning All

Early morning Twitter Complaint to Aviva, suggesting a way they solve the problem under the policy terms. After breakfast, prepare for the new arrivals of Contractors etc and catch up with Solicitor re a separate legal matter. Life would be quite dull if things went smoothly for a couple of days :rolleyes:. At this rate, our Winter break will be deferred until mid-August ...

Where was it fitted, it should be beside the burner on the hot pipe out, it should spin up every time the boiler fires to heat rads or w tank.

We have UFH and in the end it wasn't the pump squealing it was one of the zone valves. They are 'closed' until heat is demanded so we reckon the valve isn't fully shut so is whistling as the water pressure tries to get through it. It stops when that zone is on.
 
Morning

Off to Spain today!

Well...Henley on Thames anyway en route to Spain.

Henley-on-Thames will H-o-T, but Spain will be hotter ... :D. Safe Journey! Perhaps we'll pass you on your return leg, but 7 weeks to get any of the Flat repairs done is probably optimistic ...

I hope Spain will be hotter. It managed to touch 10 degrees today with rain for at least half the journey!

Yep they can stick, I always keep one spare head just in case, mine has a manual lever to open if it dies.heating b.png
 
It's not the actuator head Trev, it's the actual valve in the pipework. It's a bit of a job to get that out to replace so we'll just persevere.

Ours is below: we call it NASA Mission Control...
