I'm in Stevenage

No It's coming directly from my kitchen sink area, you can see pipes coming out the wall from the sink and washing machine which go into the ground next to the drain, everytime I empty the washing up bowl or do a load of washing it just gushes out on to the path.

Hi Hope someone can help as I've Googlesd everything I can think of to find out how to get a square key to open the small drain cover I have outside my kitchen. The drain is very badly blocked and my front path is totally flooded at the moment, I can't even try pouring any unblocking stuff...

Hi Thanks for your reply. We're in rented accommodation and even though the Landlord has been told he's the type to leave things till it completely goes before doing anything! I've changed the batteries in the thermostat to see if that helps, trouble is the weather has turned quite warm...

Hi We had a new boiler installed back in January and along with it a Honeywell Thermostat. There is a white box in the Airing cupboard and the stat control is in my hallway. I've never been overly happy with the set up of this as sometimes the rads are stone cold even tho the stats up and...

Pressure dropped right down to zero and wouldn't even fire up the heating. Managed to get it back up 1.5, turned on the hot water tap and it shot round to 3.5, back down to 1, back up to 2 and settled back at 1.5 again! Got a British Gas Engineer coming out on Monday, will post what his...

The lable on the boiler says - Greenstar 28i Junior.. I didn't think bleeding the rads would help, but as I'm definitely no expert thought I should check! I think the bloke at Worcester told me any old rubbish as it was so opbvious he couldn't be bothered.

Just spoje to Worcester Technical "help" and the miserable bloke I spoke to said it sounds like a problem with the gas pressure, but was reluctant to go into further detail. Does this sound about right?

Have been advised by my Father-in-law, who is a plumber Non-corgi reg, that bleeding all the rads may help, even though none of them have cold patches (a couple do have leaking valves tho!) Will this make any difference?

Thanks for your reply, Is that something easy enough for my husband to do or will it require an engineer? Just thought I would add the pressure gauge shoots right up to the red zone when the hot water tap is turned on and then drops down again, would an air supply issue cause that as well...

Hello I hope someone can shed some light on my boiler problem! I had the above boiler installed around 3 years ago and haven't had any problems as such up until tonight. Went to run some hot water and at one moment it was scorching hot then ice cold. The pilot came on and went off again...
