Hi All My daughters play centre is currently about a year old and the weather has started to have an affect on it with the current medium oak colour finish looking patchy. With this in mind, can anyone suggest a suitable preserver/protector? I know some preservers won't "stick" as of the...

Hi All Probably a real simple answer but I'm stumped so thought I'd ask on here. Currently fitting a dual fuel towel rail, all is ready but when I fit the element and the dual fuel adapter, the heating pipe inlet is in the wrong position. It has no wiggle room to tighten it up another...

Hi all We are just about to start replacing our bathroom and will be using a dual fuel towel rail with element so we can still heat the rail up in the summer when the heating is off. We have seen a few touch screen stats and programmers and wanted to know if you had to buy a specialist...

Morning All Im not an electrician but had one look into this issue last night and coming back tomorrow but was after a little advice/suggestions. One of the MCB for the lighting circuit in the kitchen is tripping. The power feed comes direct from the MCB into a junction box where 3 sets of...

Hi All Just finished tiling the utility room floor and not looking at options for the transition down from the tiled floor to the concrete floor below. This would usually be ok but the issue I have is the height at one end of the doorway to the other is different, ie lower on left, higher...

Hi All Got a problem with our hot water/heating whereby the hot water goes cold after 1 shower (average time running water). We have a Worcester Bosch boiler with cylinder and cold water tank etc etc. the shower is an aqualisa power shower which obviously is powerful and does pump the...

Hi All Apologies if it's not the right terminology but our heating appears to be split in 2 halves. What I mean by this is I drained my entire heating system down today but after draining it down, we found 4 rads still full of water. We then discovered another drain off valve which was...

Hi all I've had a look through many posts but not been able to nail my issue so thought I'd post a new thread. We have a really loud vibrating type noise coming from the pipe work upstairs which seems to happen when the boiler kicks in. As far as I can see the pump on the heating system...

Hi All I'm in the process if laying new floorboards in my master bedroom as the old ones creaked something rotten. After pulling up the boards yesterday, I've found a row of breeze blocks running across the middle of the room which I believe are sitting above, what was, a wall below but...

Hi All Bit of an odd one... but here goes. We can smell what we can only describe as gas in our living room. We have had transco out who found a small leak (upto 50ppm) on our gas fire which was repaired. The transco guy did say he was surprised we would be able to smell something that...

Hi All Bit of an odd question but hoping someone can help. We had a new gasco stove installed a while back and had the installers out as we could smell gas, which happened when we had the patio doors open on the same room. Installers came out and checked everything and no leaks etc so...

Hi All We have had CCTV up in our house since we moved in but recently decided to upgrade some of the cameras for improved night vision. After a mishap in the loft, I ended up pulling the shotgun cable away from the camera which resulted in both the power and the BNC disconnecting. It also...

Hi All Go easy on me, I'm not an electrician but after some advice. My wife and I are getting shocks in our kitchen... its not limited to one appliance but is often worse when touching something else metal at the same time. IE I touch the dish-washer and the sink. This is happening...

Hi All My house is suffering with a huge amount of condensation on the double glazed windows which are installed. Before I go on, I do have a 600 ltr open top marine fish tank so, yes I know this is pretty much the source of a lot of my problem. The existing double glazing is approx 10...

Hi All I would like to move my boiler from the back bedroom in my house to either a cupboard on the landing or into the loft (fully boarded, permanent stairs etc etc). My only concern is the flue and where that can go if it went in either location? The current position of the boiler is...

Hi All I would like to put thermostatic valves onto my rads at home but I can't easily drain the system as there is no drain in the house (the previous owners liked cutting corners). We have one large rad downstairs with the 2 feed pipes which are coming through the floor and surface...

Hi All Installed a new shower today, all seemed fine until I tried it out, turned it to hot and cold comes out, turned it to cold and hot comes out. The plumbing is fine - the hot and cold definately aren't around the wrong way! I have tried to remove the thermostat as someone suggested...
