    Replacing a 25+ old Potterton boiler. Getting quotes for £3k+ to replace with combi.

    Both pipe above the boiler do not warm up when turning on the boiler on (an hour) :( Yes everything worked fine from day 1 in November up until last week. I spoke to the Nest engineer to trouble shoot some things over the phone and he can't see anything wrong with it. I can turn on the boiler...

    Replacing a 25+ old Potterton boiler. Getting quotes for £3k+ to replace with combi.

    Thanks for this! Sounds like the prices aren't too bad then, even very reasonable. That gives me a bit more faith to make the decision if I do. I turned it on for 30 mins and neither of the two pipes underneath the boiler get warm from what I can feel. I forgot to check the two pipes above the...

    Replacing a 25+ old Potterton boiler. Getting quotes for £3k+ to replace with combi.

    The £3.3k is a good price then? What's the usual cost for this? Thanks. I think they said the would try but now that I'm thinking about it, perhaps the WB's own wireless thermostat and app would be just as good. So maybe it wouldn't make sense to wire the Nest. Of course, I'd just wasted a...

    Replacing a 25+ old Potterton boiler. Getting quotes for £3k+ to replace with combi.

    My partner and I live in a small 2 bed, semi-detached house roughly 600+ square feet. Based in West London. No plans on having children so it'll just be us but we may (i.e not anytime soon, just on the off chance if circumstances are right) decide to extend kitchen/convert loft. The boiler...

    Bathroom pull light making buzz noises and not working

    Wohoo, I replaced it with a new switch and the light works now! Thank you all for your help. Not going to lie, I did felt a sense of accomplishment. I have two quick questions though as I feel I may have done bit of a botch job... 1) Look at this poorly drawn picture. A = what the ceiling...

    Bathroom pull light making buzz noises and not working

    Should I leave it exposed then? I mean it'll be under the cover but is that right?!

    Bathroom pull light making buzz noises and not working

    Forgot to ask, when I install the new one, should I cover the exposed wires with tape again like how it was initially?

    Bathroom pull light making buzz noises and not working

    Thanks for all the replies! I wasn't home yesterday so couldn't reply. Appreciate your response mate. That's encouraging to hear that it should be 'simple'. My one clicks and pulls fine, the issue is that it seems like the connection is 'off'; I need to pull the cord in some direction for the...

    Bathroom pull light making buzz noises and not working

    Hi all Have a look at at this video: https://streamable.com/txnuqr I changed all the bathroom lights to GU10 and this has been working fine for a few month except recently. Not sure if that makes any difference. Lately I have had to pull the light twice in quick succession (!) before it would...
