    Help Needed with Ikea Kitchen Fixings / Accessories

    hello all I'm in need of a hand with an IKEA 'BODBYN' drawer unit. This is the type of unit that you remove the drawer facia when you need to get to the back of the cupboard (drawer runners are fixed so you can't take drawers out completely) So i took the facia off one of the drawers and the...

    Extend New Type Virgin Media Cable

    Hi there We have just had Tivo and VM Fibre broadband delivered on a self install package. Virtually all the supplied cables are too short. Basically a cable from the inlet to splitter, the two more from there to Tivo and home hub. The connectors are something I've never seen before - they...

    Radiators Inflated Like a Balloon - Dodgy PRV?

    The customers on this job have never and will never use the filling loop. They are very old and will always call me out to do such things. Equally they would not have used a Worcester filling key or a filling loop with hand turn valves on it either, trying to explain things like this to some...

    Radiators Inflated Like a Balloon - Dodgy PRV?

    Not that I can see. Just 25-30 year old panel rads same as you see all over the place in old houses. Mixture of single & doubles. No markings / name anywhere. Like I say: I accept the rads are old, but too much of a coincidence that this has happened only a few hours after Worcester's visit.

    Choosing vaillant ecotec 838 or 837

    The comfort setting on the 937 can be timed anyway - no need to have it on all day & night. Just 2 hours in the morning and maybe not at all after. We've fitted a few 937's, as long as there is well sized mains and hot pipework with excellent pressure they work very well and can indeed run 2...

    Radiators Inflated Like a Balloon - Dodgy PRV?

    Yes granted, old rads can give way, but these have been pressurised for 20 years (old boiler was also a combi) with no trouble. System had also been working safely (although not necessarily very well) in the month or so that the boiler had been installed for prior to the Worcester engineer's...

    Boilermate 2000 - No hot water :(

    Your boiler mate needs to be refilled. Instructions will tell you how. Could be a tap, or stopcock, or maybe you need to fill with a bucket (no kidding). Depends on exactly how the fitter configured it. You may need to reset your boiler too.

    Radiators Inflated Like a Balloon - Dodgy PRV?

    Hello all, I'm a fitter with a question is regarding a PRV. We fitted a new Worcester Compact 30si for a family in early Feb 2014. Been working OK ever since, save for customer noticing a long delay in the heating kicking back in if someone runs a tap etc so after I visited to check the...
