    domestic and commercial heating engineers

    Can you explain to me the differences between a commercial and domestic heating engineer? Do they need different licenses/qualifications or/and other requirements? Can one type of heating engineer do both types of work, legally speaking?

    Boiler LF Error Code

    We had a radiator installed a few months ago (Oct 2024) and all was going well - over the past few days we’ve had a LF code come up on our boiler which seems to resolve itself after resetting the boiler. Today the boiler would not resolve the LF code after resetting the boiler until we have turned off the new radiator that was installed. Any ideas? Initially when the new radiator was installed we had a issue with the boiler itself after the system was bled (this was resolved after cycling the boiler a few times)

    Lime Render vs Silicone Render

    I live in a 3 bed semi with solid walls. We had an independent damp survey which revealed the walls are extremely damp. His recommendation is to hack off existing render and replace with lime render. A rendering company has recommended a silicone render on top of the existing render or external insulation with silicone render. I don't want to get this wrong so I would welcome any opinions/comments. Many thanks.

    Strange smell in gutters

    There is a strange smelling excrement in my gutters. How can I safely remove this? Or should I ask a professional to come by and deal with it? I don’t mean because it’s disgusting but because I don’t know if it’s safe too as I’ve no idea what animal it has come from.
