I'm considering getting LABC in to regularise some work I'd had done. If they decide that 'further work is required to secure compliance with the BRegs', am I under any obligation to carry out such work? Would I instead be able to get a second opinion from another builder, or even just ignore...

Not so much a DIY question, but... is there a 'standard' time for a system boiler to heat an unvented cylinder? i.e. Kw per Litre? I want to be sure my boiler is working properly. (My boiler is 30Kw and I have a 250 l cylinder.) I should add my cylinder is not insulated, although I am...

I am considering a Powerflush done at my London house - 12 rads. Newly installed Vaillant boiler and Tempest unvented cylinder but radiators are prob +30 years old and at least one has lots of mucky black sludge. (Having said that, only have cold areas in 2/3 of the rads) My question is -...

I imagine I'm not the first to bring up this problem, but anyway: My newly installed unvented system incorporates a Vaillant EcoTec 630 boiler and Honeywell ST9400C digital programmer. Installed a few months ago but only moved into house a couple of weeks ago so barely used. First problem...

When my Vaillant ecotec system boiler is in operation, every so often I get a little gush of water from an opening underneath. highlighted on this picture Unlike the picture, the opening is not attached to any pipe! Is it the condensate drain? Surely it should be attached to something...

I've just had an extension done with a 2.5 x 3.5 'Succah' (conservatory) roof fitted ontop. See here http://www.succahrooflights.co.uk/single_roof_gut.html We moved in about a week ago and have noticed leaks in several places around the border of the succah roof. Builder has since sent in...

Just had new plumbing/CH system installed (condensing Vaillant boiler and unvented Telford Tempest cylinder) but when I turn it on, pressure is 0 (and I get the error message 'F22'). I recall my builder saying something about draining the system so that they could change/install the...

Further to my post here //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=237056&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 , my builder has informed me that I don't need a certificate from the electrician who wired my extension, as I have already received the Certificate of Completion from LABC which...

I am a clueless homeowner (not even DIY enthusiast) looking to buy spare parts before imminent visit of electrician... I currently have a 3 button light switch controlling 3 separate lights in downstairs hall, and next to it another switch controlling upstairs hall light. We would want to...

I've just had my London 4 bed house renovated and extended. I believe the electrics were completely rewired in the house proper, and new electrics installed in the extension. My builder used a different electrician for each job. The first gave us a (handwritten) certificate. The second hasn't...
