Lad at work has started taking tumeric capsules, hes been on them a good twelve months now and a few others have followed, apparently they have made a difference, could be worth a try. Think he got a years tub for £15 off a company called “nu-nutrition”

My installer said same to me at the time, (been fitting stoves for 30+ years, hes retired now, my stove was one of his last jobs) he said:- The installation had to be signed of by a HETAS registered installer and must conform to building regs, said certificate will also be used to validate your home insurance. Apparently they go hand in hand cos if you didn’t have a certificate and anything was to happen (i.e house fire, whether caused by stove or not) then the insurance company wouldn’t pay out. All sounded to make logical sense to me. Further to this he said i would also have to have my liner swept once a year by a hetas registered or professional registered sweep company (not heard of the later) who would then issue a service report for your records, that would then be recognisable towards your home insurance incase the above mentioned incident should ever occur, they can then see you have kept up with a reasonable maintenance / service plan on your hetas installed stove. I personally have not had my liner swept yet by anyone, but i’m only just two years in to use / ownership of my latest new stove and liner so i’m pretty sure the liner will still be mint yet. Was going to get it done next spring when fire goes out of use for me. I’ll probably go on 2 year sweeps after that, but will get it done by a local sweep then he can provide a record for me. End of the day its all about covering your ass, and easier to be safe than sorry. And lets be fair too, for what cost to you..... £50 maybe for a registered sweep and cert? ?‍♂️ break it down over 2 years or even 12 months, its peanuts and puts you in the “covered” bracket.

There are exclusions for running a vehicle if you are using it in a certain radius for your own personal use. Not sure on exact distance, but for example if you wanted to drag something back from say 10 miles away for yourself back to your yard then you can. So say you brought a trailer full of logs back and cut them up for firewood for yourself then its allowed. “But” if for example you were dragging a trailer full of logs back to your yard and those logs were to end up being processed and sold on as firewood or whatever to the public or a customer, then you are making an income off it and so the activity is classed as hire & reward, then you will be succumbed to operators, tacho, driving time, working time, blah blah. Think benedmonds has put some links up on an earlier thread highlighting same thing. .gov can blow your mind tho and start to portrait the “grey areas” sometimes.

Yeah its all digi tacho’s now, (analogue if you wagons ancient like yourself [emoji23]) gets more complicated soon as you go on to operators licence etc as stated above by others..... drivers cpc required and service / inspection records required dictated by type of job, distances / milages covered over time periods etc, definitely all required if its for hire and reward. Personal use differs slightly but if your earning off it then it all applies. Its a Nightmare to be fair Yolky.

Snap [emoji106] same as you stubby, i did wonder if they would get my liner down and round my bends at the time, but they did.

If you ever rock up at my door [emoji6] ...... always welcome of course, i’m gona get ya so bloto’d that your head hurts, purely out of spite and not just from a good hospitality point of view [emoji51][emoji482]

You sarky twunt! [emoji6][emoji39]

Failing that..... i can only suggest the heat wrap really! Sure you’ll find a resolve tho!

8.5mm wall, take some melting! https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/pvc-pipes-plastic-pipes/2246573/

Where is Vesp when we need him?!!!

I’m trying! [emoji15][emoji23]

You thinking of DuPont?

Post us all a pic in daylight yolky then we get a better idea [emoji106]

Or the other alternative? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F331806019959

Can you devise a tin heat shield to keep it away from heat?

Av a route through this lot, failing that..... its either rubber & jubilee or replace all what you have with a more recognisable size. ?‍♂️ https://www.pipestock.com/

Can you not go to s plumbers merchants and ask for some 60mm solvent weld? May possibly be grey in colour [emoji848]

Just shoves in to your t-piece, usually quite snug but if your not totally happy then put a smear of silicon on pipe and inside of fitting, [emoji106]

Something like this? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F172002887061

I take it it is for blown hot air then? Can you not just use the convoluted heating / exhaust pipe stuff that they use in caravans / motorhomes etc?

Can you post a pic to highlight your scenario?

Your a tad far away, could of possibly recommended someone but theyre in lancashire.

Where you based at?
