Hi Andy, Thank you for your useful advice. I will action your suggestions as soon as I can get into the loft. I will update you once I have done. Praying it works.

Hi Andy, No, we are in a converted house. Upper floor flat with access to the loft.

Hi Hugh, It was done late afternoon today. No, he did not go into the loft as we do not have access to a ladder. I need to borrow one of someone, before he comes back to go up there.

Andy, I am currently unable to get upstairs to the loft as I don't have a ladder. I'll need to borrow one, but the neighbours aren't opening their doors ... they're either away or thinking I might be trick or treating, and thus ignoring the bell! Will need to wait until after work tomorrow...

Hi Andy, Yes - I did turn off the mains before putting in the honeywell valve Yes - I did turn the water mains back on Yes - there is cold water in the kitchen

Hi All, I have posted under the title Honeywell V4073 valve, but thought I should have perhaps posted under ' no water ' instead? To summarise, after putting in a new honeywell valve, the central heating now works, but we have absolutely no water in the bathroom at all. None... little...

Hi All, Please help! The central heating hasn't been working, hot water has been fine, so a new honeywell V4073 was put in. However, in doing this, ironically a switch has been made, the central heating now works and the hot water doesn't! We believe it has something to do with the...
