Hi, I have a Baxi Duo-Tec 40 HE A boiler that is not heating the CH properly. It will come on and heat up to 72 degrees (as measured on the boiler LCD) then stops. It come back on when the boiler says the temp is 30 degrees. As its not on all the time the rads are not getting warm. A...

The carpet is coming away near the threshold between our bedroom and the landing. This is beacuse when the carpet was fitted the fitters have cut it a bit too short. Normally I would try and stretch the carpet back into the threshold but I can't do that as there is a step into the bedroom...

Hope you don't mind me barging in on your post. My existing PIR looks as though it's going faulty. Started switching itself on/off randomly. So have been looking to get a better quality one. I currently have this one from screwfix...

Hi, A previous owner extended our house and put an extra bedroom over the garage (around 15 years ago). The problem I have is that this bedroom is the coldest room in the house. When we moved in we put a new central heating system in including radiators so the rad should be the right...

Hi, We have had a Towerstat RF/BMs but we are now on our third one in two years as they keep failing in October!?!?!?. I have had enough of them and have decided to fit a Honeywell CMT927 wireless thermostat to our Baxi Duo-Tec 40HE-A. I am after a bit of advice on how to wire the...

This is a really embarassing question that I should know the answer to but I am having a 'duh' day. I have a washing machine tee valve like this...

Hi, I want to connect my bathroom extractor to an unused soil vent ont the roof. I have seen several posts on this forum regarding this and have not found quite what I am looking for. I have a Vent-Axia Vent-A-Light which is 100mm. The soil stack is 110mm. So how to I connect the two...

I have seen a few posts on this but I have seen conflicting views. So would like some clarification please: I want to install some soffit lights along the porch on the front of our house. I want them to be controlled by a PIR, so when we drive/walk up to the house the lights will come on...

I want to lower my bathroom ceiling by 200mm so we can get some downlighters installed and also to hide the mouldy artex that currently exists. In a normal room I would attach a square wooden frame around the room screwed into the walls at the height I require. Unfortunately our house is...

Every now and then, when we empty the bath or the bathroom sink we get an egg-like smell outside from the drain pipe area. Both the bathroom and kitchen sinks go into the same drain and the smell doesn't appear when the kitchen sink is emptied. Is there any obvious things I should do/look...

After stripping all the paper off our hall/stairs/landing the other week we have noticed a small patch of plaster on the wall on the otherside of the bathroom that is getting wet/then drying out. Anyway to cut a long story short we've noticed that there is a small drip coming from a hole 3/4...

Our boiler is on its last legs. So we need to get a new one, but which one? There are so many. We have a mid sized 3 bed semi. And we will be running the Central heater, Hot Water and a single shower from the boiler. The current boiler is an Ariston EuroCombi. I am currently tempted...

Our boiler is rubbish and really does need replacing as soon as possible. The problem is we were planning to do an extension at the side of the house. Basically extend the house out from the wall the boiler is currently situated. We don't really want to shell out for a new boiler then do...

Hi, I have a problem with my Ariston EuroCombi boiler. This morning the central heating was on and the other half managed to get a shower in but when it came to my turn the boiler stopped working. On the control panel the ignition failure light was on. So I pressed the button and the pilot...

Where can I get Building Paper from?? I can't see it at Screw Fix or at B&Q (only a quick search). Is it sometimes called something else?? Thanks

I have just layed a floor in my loft area so we can store things in the space. Now up in the loft there is a lot of dust small bits that keep collecting. From insode the roof space you can see the tiles so there is no lining teher at all. I know I cannot eradicate this dust properly...

Hi, I have an Ariston EuroCombi styx sx20 MFFE ce Combi Boiler. It makes a strange noise only when the CH or CH+HW is on. With Just HW there are no odd noises. The best way of explaining the noise is that it sounds like the noise steams makes when cold water is spilt onto something...

Hi, I have an Ariston EuroCombi styx sx20 MFFE ce Combi Boiler. In the last couple of days the pilot light keeps going out. If I press the ignition button underneath the boiler it re-lights. But it seems to go out again a few hours later. Though it did stay on all last night and went...

Hi, I have an Ariston EuroCombi styx sx 20 mffice, Combi boiler. Yesterday the central heating was working fine, but there was no hot water. I have noticed that there is no hot water when the Central Heating is off, but we get warmish water when the central heating is on. Usually...
