    Modulating Boiler Controls

    We have just had a Remeha 35c installed and it was connected to our existing Honeywell cm927 stat, that previously controlled an old Biasi boiler. The boilers fine - plenty of hot water hot radiators, no problem there. We do notice that the house gets, I won't say cold, but chilly. The stat...

    Biasi repair

    I have a biasi riva compact m90e.28s - it keeps cutting out then re-igniting. I've had someone look at it and when tested he got erratic results from the htg/hw thermistor. Also the pressure keeps dropping - he filled it up to around 3 bar whereby water started coming out of a pipe out the...

    Jacksons Fencing

    Can anyone recommend using Jacksons fence panels. Doing a comparison at the moment they seem to be working out cheaper than many others for 21 closeboard panels, straight & concave, with slotted posts & gravel boards. There's a cheaper local supplier that I've visited, but the quality of...

    poor flow rate

    I have a mains pressure of about 5 bar but only 9L/SEc flow rate. I had this tested as I wanted a new boiler installed with a greater flow rate, but that would seem pointless unless I improve the incoming mains. Thames water have pointed me at their developer services & these guys want £235...

    wood knotting & priming

    I have a new set of banisters to paint, I have some Dulux trade knotting solution. It comes in a small tin with a brush attached to the lid. It is a dark brown color. However reading previous posts here everyone seems to advocate a white color knotting solution. I imagine this will be fine after...

    Mains Water Pressure

    What would you consider to be an optimum mains water pressure. I'm asking as we have had to install a pressure reducing valve on the incoming mains to stop a severe water hammer issue. An aqua lisa engineer believes that we have blown a shower valve as the pressure was too high. I have...
