I'm trying to figure out what is going on with our central heating, as I've been looking at ensuring it's optimised. We had some building work completed last year with some of the radiators being changed etc. and the builder didn't rebalance the system so I started looking at things. After...

We have a Beko ASPM341PX fridge freezer with built in water dispenser. When you push back on the pad/lever (or whatever it is called) it doesn't always work. If you push up on it slightly (on the ridges) then it works. I was trying to remove everything to take a look at the issue and try and...

I need to fix our leaking shower but can't remove the faceplate retaining ring. It just keeps spinning around and around no matter which way I turn it. I've tried putting a bit of pressure pulling away from the faceplate when unscrewing it, but nothing. It feels as though whatever it screws into...

Whilst looking at another issue I realised I could hear the system water flowing into my hot water cylinder, even though hot water wasn't scheduled to be heating. When looking at the valves something didn't seem right. I've sat this evening looking at the CH and HW valves (both Honeywell V4043)...

Our patio door has dropped slightly and to fix it I'm looking at replacing the butt hinges for adjustable hinges to compensate. The thing is, I haven't been able to figure out how to remove the existing ones. They seem to have a pin through them, but no matter what, the pin won't move. Any...

I have a British Gas 330+ boiler (re-badged Glow-worm I believe) which is configured as a sealed system, installed in a four bed detached house we purchased a couple of years ago. We've had various issues with it (nothing too major) which has led me to getting quite a bit of information on it...

I've got a sealed system in my house with a British Gas 330+ boiler (re-badged Glow-worm). Currently the boiler is reporting that the pressure is 0.3 bar but is still working. When attempting to increase the pressure using the filling loop a small amount of water enters the system for a few...

Hi, I've been doing plumbing work in my bathroom (replacing suite etc) and have a slight issue. When ever my neighbours in the flat downstairs flush their loo I get a foul stench in my bathroom. It's a really strong stench. It's not coming from the WC or where the Pan connector goes into...

Hi, My air ventilation output pipe for the bathroom in my flat is 110mm soil pipe. This length piping is only used by the extraction fan. I'm changing the fan and the position of it which is 100mm piping. Thing is, how do I connect if to the 110mm pipe, the way the previous people did it is...

Hi, not sure if this is the correct area to post this in but didn't seem to fit in any of the others. I'm about to start re-fitting my bathroom. The suite has been ordered, tiles bought etc. However there are two areas I'm currently trying to figure out. Firstly is the ventilation. The...
