Balbriggan: Calling all Clonuske Residents.

dakan

Hi All

got the idea for this from somebody at work. In their development, someone created a website to act as a meeting place. Thought I might give this a go and see what sort of response it gets. Bearing in mind we have yet to have our first mgt. company meeting.

Anyway, to get the ball rolling. There is a query I have regarding noises that only happen at night. It sounds like something with a motor stopping and starting at regular intervals. Sometimes it will start and continue for 2 minutes or so before it stops and goes back to going on and off. Anybody else in Clonuske experiencing this problem?

Anybody else want to bring up some other issue?

Thanks.

Victor

Are you in a house or apartment?

R the sounds coming from inside or outside ur house/apartment??

Shot in the dark here, but it sounds like you are in an apartment. Is it possible that the noise you are hearing is the water system?

My sister was living in an apartment in the IFSC, and if someone ran the water you could hear this motor-like sound After living there for a while she said she 'couldn't hear it anymore'.

I think I know what the noise you are experiencing is. I hear it also.
It is the first corner house directly across from Clonuske Park in Mount Rochford facing the green.
Sometimes at night, you can hear an old white Ford Escort with an English reg having its engine run. I believe they have their side entrance converted and the car is kept in there.
But I have heard this on several occasions between 11pm and 12pm at night.

Does anyone have any other issues with Clonuske and Mt Rochford, as I believe this is an appropriate forum to raise such issues.

i have an issue with the glow worm gas boilers installed in these houses,
1st time i had to get a safety valve replaced in the boiler due to the wrong valve being fitted upstairs in the hot press

2nd time i called a engineer out from cf quadrant who by the way are the only suppliers in r.o.i for glow worm parts,and who the boilers were bought from.firstly if you are dealing with cf quadrant get the name of the person who will give you mobile numbers of the engineers.i will explain later.anyway the engineer called to my house in mount rochford and reset the boiler and he could not get the system working.he then said he would have to get on to glow worm in england to diagnose the problem and left the house.the next day he phoned me and told me i need a new expansion tank and a new pcb board an this would cost 800 euro in total.so i asked him what would it cost to replace the boiler he said he could fit a new one for 1600 euro and would recommend i do so as these boilers are a cheap french import with a glow worm logo put on it.so i cut of links with this engineer.i then got on to sherry fitz who in turn got on to the plumbers who fitted the system who in turn got on to cf quadrant who denied that any engineer had came to my house.i can back this up with a text message which i sent to the engineer to explain where in mount rochford i live.and a record of when i phoned cf quadrant the same day.anyway since this i have been talking to some neighbours who also have had problems with their heating system five in total in a area of a stones throw from my house.has anybody else had problems with these boilers?

Hi

I live in Clonuske and i have had nothing but trouble from the word go with my heating.
When i first moved in the pressuse kept dropping and the heating would not turn on. When the builders were still on site i got the plumber in to sort it out and everything was fine. It kept on happening and when i got them back the left me instrustions on how to fix the problem next time it happened.
Now none of the radiators downstairs work and the pressuse has dropped again today so nothing is working.
Also there is a pipe that leads to the outside of the house from the hotpress that is now spitting water and has left a brown stain down the side of the house.
I had the plumber that fitted the heating out about 2 weeks ago to fix the radiators ....he said he equalised them but i have since found two tiny leaks in the radiators one in the dining room and one in the kitchen. I rang the plumbers again today and they said that the warrenty is up after a year so its not their problem and the only reason they sent someone up the last time was because they had someone in Dundalk.
Now i have another plumber coming out tomorrow from Skerries which will probably cost the guts of €100 to see what the problem is.....the funny thing is they said they have had a lot off calls from the area!
Needless to say i am really p"£$%ed off with this!

Ok. where to start. if you have a leak, however small, even a teaspoon full a day, it will mean that on a "sealed" ch sysyem the pressure WILL drop and drop and drop. You didnt say what type of boiler you have... anyway, somewhere very close to the boiler you WILL find a small tap.... use this regularly to replace any water that has dripped outa the system....

on your boiler control panel you should see a clock type dial. It usually has the temp at the top ( say 0 to 120 ) and the pressure at the bottom ( say 0 - 6). The pressure is the one to keep your eye on. It should always read approx 1 and a half. i.e the pointer will be between 1 and 2.

so what you need to do is find the tap and turn the water flow on until the dial reads 1 and a half. DO NOT overfill cus you will IMMEDIATELY get wet feet. Because you have your constant drip leak you may need to top up every couple of days. That will fix most of yer probs.

As to "equalising" the rads. I.ve never heard such a load of bunkem. I think that it means.. . . . I'm a plumber. I neeeed to equalise the rads. the bill will be enooorrrrmous.


the only thing that you EVER have to do with the rads is bleed them. because you have your drip leak ( which in itself is absolutely nowt to worry about) you may have got as much as a cupful of air in them. Feel the rads. if the rad is hot at the bottom and cold at the top it is because there is some trapped air at the top. it takes about 7 seconds to bleed that air out.


let me know how you get on

thanks for replying. the boiler we have is Glow worm as for the pressure being low thats not the problem at the moment. the problem is that the radiators don't work down stairs unless i turn them off up stairs. Yesterday the boiler went a bit mad......the temp get changing from 30 to 98 really quickly then went back down a red light started flashing and the boiler turned itself off then a few seconds later it turns back on.
I rang a plumber today and i was told to leave it switched off until he gets there tomorrow.
The company that fit the heating system said that the only reason we got someone to "EQUALISE" the rads the first time was only because he was in the area and they wont send anyone else out
Its just a joke a this stage so im paying for what is hopefully an honest professional.

We cannot get in touch with this landlord to get them moved.

You guys really should move this to http://www.neighbours.ie - I'm pretty sure that site is about helping groups suchs as yourselves communicate/coordinate.

You should never reverse out of a driveway as you can't see the children on the footpath.

Everyone is equally entitled to park on the road, subject to law.
