Thank you all for your input. Had a boiler engineer diagnose the issue. I explained the problem. He surprised me a young fella having so much knowledge of combi boilers. He did not talk much but got on in finding the problem. He tested the pressure on the system. He advised the expansion vessel...

Thank you very much Guys for your quick response. I don't know how the condensing boilers work. I am concerned the boiler pressure keeps dropping. Its got worst since I last checked the pressure last Saturday. Following your response I turned heating off. The condensate leak stopped dripping. I...

Hi All My boiler has been loosing pressure for a few days. I have filled it to 1.5 bar every time it drops below 0.5 bar but still keeps loosing pressure. This afternoon I check if PRV is leaking. PRV is not leaking but the condensate pipe leaks more than it should when heating is on. It does...

Hi All My other half was cleaning work top this morning. She disturbed kettle socket. It is hanging with the wire. I checked the reason for this to happen. The base plate is sunk in too deep. The two screws are not long enough. Instead some smarty pants put blobs of "it stiks like ****" to stick...

Hi vulcancontinental My son had looked at unica i and vision C boilers. I am not keen on digital interface but my son mentioned he has seen your video demonstrating Vision C on youtube. He appears to be leaning towards it. He tells me once the boiler is set up correctly by the installer like...

Hi dilalio thanks for your response. An old buddy of mine suggested intergas boilers are simple not having complicated parts. The vaillant ecotec pro 28 was appealing to me until I found out that it no longer has a mechanical pressure guage but build in the interface. At my age electronics...

Thank you vulcancontinental for quick response. I shall look at Vokera unica i. This person I have known for quite some time suggested I go for Vokera Excel. He said he fits these boilers regularly. You are right about the Easi- Heat plus and Excel boilers are sold through plumbing & heating...

Hi All Advice please to help me choose a new mid range combi boiler. I am downsizing to a smaller den. Circumstances not choice. My new place a two bedroom one bathroom back to back property has an old Ariston combi. It finally gave up the ghost yesterday. Died of old age. Near the boiler...

Hi All Back again for advice. I had my new G-Plan suite delivered the other day. I purchased 5 year staingard plus care package with my 3 piece suite. The company to provide care is Homeserve which has had negative reputation for customer care. To my amazement my son spilled water on chair...

Thank you all for your rapid response. I searched web this afternoon. Stainguard and Guardsman warranties are sold through retailers only. I spoke to a independant upholstry repairer/ cleaner. He said he will spray my suite using high pressure sprayer for £60.00 and the coating will last 3-4...

Hi All Are third party furniture warranties by stainguard/Guardsman worth the money. I have bought a new 3 piece suite the other day. Salesman brought warranty up time and time again. So far I have declined. He put on this on invoice "customer declined stainguard warranty". Today I received a...

I have bought a very little used youngman 2 section trade 200 timber loft ladder. There are no fitting manual with it. Can someone please tell me where canI get fitting instructions from. I have searched the web no joy.

Thanks for your response. I have been on planning portal site. It clearly states that if a wall is constructed then neighbour has to be notified. A notice of intention has to be served before work commences. It does not apply for timber fence. Because the person in council told me that it is...

Hi All My loft is a big mess after I had new roof tiles installed some years back. Going into loft last sunday my loft is like a bombed site with loose crumbly morter every where so much so the fibre glass insulation looks in bad shape. I am thinking of turning the loft into useable space...

I am not at all confused. Closer look at the houses insulated look bad. They started above air bricks finishing below eaves. As for cost the government is footing the bill that is why the homes look odd. The leaflet says "Your home will not only look great it will save you hundreds in fuel bills...
