Hi all, I'm looking for some advice from the huge knowledge base on here and hope someone can help me out. Our old Baxi boiler has finally had it and it's time to replace it. When I say it's had what I mean is it has another gas leak and I've decided that it's becoming too frequent so...

Good evening all, I'm hoping I can get some help from the wealth of knowledge here. We had a gas leak today and called out Transco who confirmed the leak and condemned the boiler. In the past 2 years there has been at least 4 separate leaks from 2 areas and so it's finally time to call it a...

Radiators in my house are not warming up correctly, they get hot at the top but cold at the bottom. Anyhow, I have some Fernox desludger to add the the system which is an older boiler with hot water storage tank and radiator circuit with a small header tank in the loft. What I was wondering...

I measure my radiator at 750mm wide by 700mm tall. Looking at Screwfix online and they only seem to come in 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 etc wide. Do I have a stupid weird size rad which will cost way more than a regular size? If so is there any way I can extend the fittings say for a 700mm...

Hi all, been sifting through the pages here and seems like an excellent website. Anyhow, I'm about to change the shower and have a few questions. We've recently moved here and the old shower is pretty rubbish, plus we want to move it. It used to be in a cubicle but I threw that out and am...
