So.... Woke up in the early hours to the sound of loud-banging from the bolier... Checked the control panel, and there was neither demand for hot-water or heating... So switched the boiler off and went back to bed. Testing before I came to work, I noticed that the thermostat would fire...

Hi, I have used the search funtion... - But I'm struggling to find out about a decent camera to fit into our existing system. Basically we want to monitor a car park area out of view, and will require a camera and transmitter back to a reciever about 40m away. Any ideas or...

After twice redoing the sealant on my cistern, I liberally coated all washers etc, and decided to test before refitting again. Whilst it was suspend in air I saw a drip appearing from the base of the cistern near the corner... Looks like there has been a pin hole in the base the hole...

Hi, Small issue with the new ensuite, the room width is 925mm wide without tiles. With tiles this will probably bring the width down to 910 mm, but still will be left with a 10mm gap between the tray and wall (as it was previously) with the 10-15mm 'Sealing Strip' that was used... Any...

Hi, Stupidly I used an old length of pipe to join to a new piece, using a solder ring coupling. Although I cleaned it, there was a slight bit of oxidation I couldn't remove which went slighly into the joint, but deepest half of the joint was clean... Anyway the expected happened and the...

Hi, As per previous posts, the old plumbing in my bathroom started to leak from a endfeed joint recently. I have had to rip out the new (2years old) bath to get to the leak to fix it... However there are a number of old endfeed joints of equal quality (large solder drips, flux still on...

Bit of a strange one, but the bolier stays on, and only switches itself off when the water reaches temp. I even went as far to take the valve motors off and check they work, (which they do). Every combination works the valves (including room thermostat), Very confused, can't work out why...

Hi, Got some mossaic tiles 30x30 from B & Q on a backing sheet. However when I got them home they looked like they were put on by a five year old. i.e some with no space, some at an angle!!! Will these look ok once up or should I attemp to remove them from the backing and realign or should...

Just a general question really, I have a sealed system and I'm inthe process of swapping out the bathroom. Temporarily used a compression isolating valve so I could still use the water on the end of the hot water pipes. Basically the compression fitting popped off the hot water pipe... (no...

Basically I can't see the proper way round fixing this and can only see two options. The zone valve needs replacing (leaking) and it is on a horizontal piece of pipe between two vertical runs in a "H" shape. (Don't know why builders didn't use a three way). Anyway as the pipes feed in 5-8mm...
