If it is turning it should be working. Most extractors work via the light switch. Unless you are very experienced in this area you should really get an electrician to make the change. You will also need to ensure a timed fan is fitted so it runs on clearing condensation ect after the light...

Had my inspection last week I have a large property with 2 boilers and a separate gas fire. Chap that did the test said everything was fine and that they would send the cert and the invoice in the post. Received the certificate today and it says that one of the boilers is not safe to use...

Think he was driving at the quality of b&q boilers....... :lol:

Thanks for your reply. We cannot pinpoint the exact year the property was built although we think it was around 1870 - 1880. The drain to the front we also think is a later addition as in common with other properties in the locality the front basement area was used as the 'coal hole' and the...

Anyone here with any experience of this? Please bear with me this is a bit of a saga! In July 2008 after a heavy storm my basement drain backed up. (There is very little fall on it between the appliances and the main sewer in the centre of the street). As a consequence effluent backed up the...

I was up there earlier this afternoon and there was no water flowing into it. I did trace one of the upwards pipes which acted as a vent hung over the tank like an overflow. The heating may have been on at the time though? Wouldn't this need to be the case for the pump to pump water up to the...

The pipes run on to the header tank. I looked up there but could not see a bleed valve on the end of either of them.. Unless you tell me I am mistaken? Space is of course limited

Does this help. I cannot see another of these valves but the pipe runs up 3 floors. Anyway the entry to the HW tank is hot the outlet stays cold.

There is a boxed switch of some description just after the pump. When I switch on the CH the switch operates and the pipe run after it gets hot.

I would say Gravity HW Down and pumped CH although of course the same pump pushes the hot water up to the tank to heat the coil. The pump is in the same cupboard as the boiler which is in the basement, there are no others. Whole system is circa 1980 and the boiler is a Glowworm 85-100.

Read my problem couple of threads down.. Wish I had one of these would solve my problem.
