Hello I have a Worcester Bosch 28 CDi boiler and have a recurring problem. The boiler works fine for hot water during the months where the central heating is not being used. But as soon as I switch the CH on, the DHW starts to play up. Last winter I had the unit serviced and flushed, but...

What's the simplest option to plumb in a belfast sink? It has a 2.5" waste hole and I've set it up in the garden. It will be attached to the downpipe from the gutters. I was thinking of putting a 68mm hopper under it, but I'm not sure what size waste trap to use. Any advice?

I spent several hours cleaning the oven on my cooker at the weekend. I used a caustic spray on the lining and wiped clean with a wet cloth. Now the oven shorts out when switched on. The problem is only with the oven functions, grill and gas ignition all work fine. I have since removed the light...

I fancied the idea of some sort of DIY cooking facility outside. A wood fired oven was my first choice (have a BBQ already). Looked at some websites for (imported) wood fired ovens and found the price a tad high - like £4000 too high. So the plan is to build a domed wood fired oven from...

Hello New house and I have a Worcester Bosch 28 CDi Combi boiler that works with a Radio Frequency thermostat. I decided to test the central heating before I need it - see if everything works. The thermostat does not operate with the boiler. I have read solutions on other threads and tried...

We have a large china serving platter dish which had some cracks in the glaze. Unfortunately it was stored on top of one of the kitchen cupboards and the collected grease has soaked into the cracked glaze and spread through the underlying porous china. Any ideas as to how to restore this?

Hello I recently bought lots of rolls of the glass fibre/ glass wool type of loft insulation. I spent two days fitting some of it. I had long sleeve shirt, goggles and a light dust mask. Whether coincidence or not, I got the mother of all coughs after a couple of days and haven't been back to...

Hello I have recently moved into a large house. The hot water and heating is powered by a Worcester Bosch 28 Cdi combi boiler. The house was renovated about four years ago and the loft space was made into bedrooms. I have had a poke around in the remaining loft spaces and eaves cupboards but...
