My very old boiler runs fine but the boiler thermostat doesn't seem to be working at all. Makes no difference what the setting is, so it's now on '1'. The overheat thermostat must be why it's working OK ? I can't get a spare part ( not that I was thinking of fitting it myself) from anywhere I've...

Hi. I have a detached double garage with an attic supported by a fink type truss. I'd like to raise the bottom beam of the truss by a couple of feet ( to allow a full golf swing ! ), Currently it's about 2.30m from the floor and another 2.6m to apex of garage which is about 6m wide...

Hi. The floor paint over the years has come off with wear and tear mainly from car tyres so I'm going to put rubber matting down - be nice to have a clean / 'undusty' environment for table tennis too. I'm looking at a thick floor mat 4.5mm on a 6m roll and also now at Duramat interlocking...

Hi. Just being on the safe side - I have a leaking Garda mixer tap in the kitchen; not sure if it's the hot or the cold side so I've bought both the replacement ceramic washer units online. I was just about to turn the main water supply off and had a last minute worry about the pressurised...

Hi. Not for the first time water gets behind the trims and starts rotting them so I need to repair / fill before I can paint. I've replaced some with new wood in the past but this time I was thinking of using uPVC like this ...

My son's just bought a one bed flat and installed is a wall hung combi boiler probably Greenstar ( although I can't find where the model no is located) It services 5 rads and hot water. I've had it serviced and all is fine. The plumber said the system pressure wants to be at 1.5 when rads cold...

Only had new pump fitted a couple of years ago. I've turned setting up to max 3 which should be plenty. It's a grunphos 15/60. I've rechecked all radiators for trapped air too. Does one of the valves / taps near the tank affect this or is the pump wearing already ? It does sound a bit louder...

It's developed a small leak at the base where there's rust. It's 18yrs old - a VAREM 24 tank. Anyone know where to get a replacement please, and is it an easy enough job to replace for a DIYer ?

Potterton EP6000 keeps making a high pitched noise. If I move it about slightly it goes. I can't find any lose or dirty electrical connections. Could there be any other reason? If I need to replace has anyone a favourite or recommendation please?

I've just done one bedroom, and want to ask before the next. When I removed the paper, with water and additive, it brought off some of the original paint. I've then ended up scraping off loads more and trying to polyfill the edges of the remaining paint. Didn't work entirely and you can still...

We had a power cut while a cleaning cycle was running. When the power came back on the Anti Flood control is running the drain pump continuously. I've tried switching on and off but it doesn't finish. Any ideas how I can turn the float switch off before resorting to calling out someone please...

Myson Orion 75Si. 15yr old New pump fitted last month so circulation seems fine. Recently though boiler lights up, runs a short while then goes out leaving pilot light on and a feint clicking as if a spark trying to ignite pilot is going. It also sounds like the extractor fan is still running...

Motor spindle's just about had it; WD40 letting it just hang on to stop the rattle. Can you get replacement motors anywhere ? I've searched Google but not getting anywhere. Seems the easiest solution to me, but if not available can anyone suggest their preference for a new fan, with timer...

[/img] the picture I meant to send before, showing the pump up against a back plasterboard wall, wrong way up? Hi. 1992 house. Myson SD63 pump at '3' setting. 4 bed house 16 radiators some double. The pump has always been louder than our last house and is now really noisy especially when...

Hi. 1992 house. Myson SD63 pump at '3' setting. 4 bed house 16 radiators some double. The pump has always been louder than our last house and is now really noisy especially when it first comes on. It sounds like it's on it's legs. I turned the setting down to level 2 which has helped. I was...
