Hi, I replaced the ball cock valve twice (incase the first was faulty) on an elderly neighbours loft tank that feeds the hot water due to leaking through overflow BUT......now it makes a vibrating noise when the hot water is run for about 10 mins. If I go in the loft and press on the ball cock...

Hi, I have an Ariston EP15 UR 15KW 2L under sink boiler that is leaking from the bottom of the blue face plate. I sthis fixable (a seal or something) or should I just replace. I have marked the spot on the attached image where the leak is and its quite a lot. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thats great. Thankyou for the quick response. I think I will try to remove/refit the 12v supply and see as it is in fault anyway so nothing to loose.

Hi, I have an entry alarm system and after having some work done the panel wont reset due to a masked detector fault (due to works being carried out and a detector being covered by polythene sheeting). This has happened before and costs approx £70 per time to fix but all the engineer does is...

Hi Guys, Just wanted to update on my situation. I used Boxt in the end as they were cheaper than local quotes I got (by a few hundred £££ at least). They also included a spare wireless thermostat and a spare fernox TF1 (I'll sell on for an even better saving) + £65 back from Quidco. The...

Thanks for the response. Can I ask why not Boxt. I did get some local quotes in and they were a good few hundred pounds more expensive than Boxt yet still have the same warranty and they seem to get very good reviews on Trustpilot. Back to the boiler: Would the smaller of the boilers (Ideal or...

Hi My boiler has packed in today(no hot water) Arriston Eurocombi A23 MFFI (lasted over 18 years). Looking at getting Boxt in on Tuesday to replace. It seems to be a choice between: Ideal Logic Plus 24 or Plus 30 against the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25SI Compact or 30I (Worcester 10 year...

Thanks for the reply. It was a wall mounted one like in the hospitals I was after. The only ones I can find seem to need refil packets (made by the manufacturer of the dispenser). I just want one I can pour gel in to from a 5L container.
