I have a Type 11 Single-Panel Single Convector Radiator 600 x 400mm that I want to switch to Type 22 Double Panel, same size. I want to change the radiator myself, but can only do it if the location existing valves will line up with new radiator. I know it will be thicker and I think the same...

The upper valve (controls handheld/rainfall) in the photo is leaking and I want to remove the chrome cover to see if something can be tightened. I unscrewed the pull and grub screw but it won't come off unlike the valve below it (water temp) that comes right off. There is no access panel on the...

When it's very cold, moisture drips from the felt under the tiles of the roof. It could be up to 50 years old (70's house) so it will not be breathable. No issues whatsoever during the heaviest rainfall. Currently, there does not seem to be any source of fresh air (no eaves providing this) so...

I bought a house made in the 70s and just the top floor bathroom had mechanical air extraction via a vertical pipe through to the roof. During renovation, I extended the pipe using underground brown pipe and fittings to allow for air extraction from: Ground floor shower bathroom (centrifugal...

I have two layers of sliding windows (original windows from 50 years ago). The two windows are separate, so one can be taken out while retaining the other. The ensuite bedroom faces in the direction of train tracks, but the noise is not too bad even with the windows open and totally acceptable...

My bathroom extractor fan is switching on when lights for other rooms are switched on. The extractor is on a switched live setting with an isolator switch. It happened after a couple of light fittings and a light switch were changed, so could someone advise if it's something as simple as the...

Any suggestions of what product I could consider that my existing vented cylinder can use a low/no volt sensor that feeds to a mains programmer to tell it if the cylinder needs heating during timed periods? Drayton do the one below but with no option to programme when to heat the water e.g. 2...

Previously had a WB Greenstar R28 HE System boiler with 4 pipes and vented (gravity fed) cylinder. No valves or pumps outside of the boiler. Worked fine for 20 years. Decided to change to Viessmann 050-W System boiler when WB failed but keep the same set up with cylinder. Gas Safe installer I...

Done lots of research and I know the warnings already such as being wary why the boiler was taken out, not knowing its history, losing warranty, installer blaming the boiler if the install fails etc. However, I can save £1000 for a high quality Viessmann Vitodens 100 system boiler (new 050 is...

I have a Worcester Bosch Condensing System Boiler. The fan has gone. It's 20 years old but otherwise working fine. Please help me decide the best option to go with: Repair current boiler for £360 using WB repair service OR Replace with Viessmann boiler for a total cost of around £1550...

After my boiler again developed an issue with the fan after the boiler was switched off for some time, I have read on this forum, elsewhere on the internet and seen many YouTube videos where the fault is discussed. It seems to be a common fault that the PCB can blow if the boiler has...

The C1 code is showing (error with fan) after I first first hear brief whirring-ticking, like the fan motor is trying to get going, so possibly more likely the motor as the display is normal until I attempt to run the boiler? I realise this is possibly down to a faulty PCB, which could have...
