    Water Too Hot

    Hello The hot water is too hot. I have checked the water on the boiler and it shows 45 when the boiler isn't fired up. When it is fired up, it increases to 63. I have read online the DHW should be set between 50 and 60. I feel mine is actually set at 45? Any advise please?

    Dual Flush Button on WC

    Thank you. It certainly looks like it. The toilet is only three years old, so I'd be surprised if it is disconinued. Would I be better off just completely replacing the whole thing again but with a different push button?

    Dual Flush Button on WC

    The lid has been off for over a week now. It works perfectly fine when not using the button, and just flushing it manually.

    Thank you. I used my dad's tools. I expected to find a plumb line in his bag but it wasn't there. I used a spirit level and it seems to have done the same job :-)

    Starting Point for Wallpaper

    I don't think I did too bad! I'd give myself an 8.5 out of 10 lol. My son is away for a few days so I'm doing a little make-over. Tomorrow I will be using furniture paint on his chest of drawers and wardrobe (it's just second hand furniture for the time being), buying a new light fitting from...

    Starting Point for Wallpaper

    Thanks, I'm pretty sure that's the way my dad told me. Thank you. And wallpaper size - is it twice as much water than normal mix?

    Starting Point for Wallpaper

    Hi I'm doing a feature wall for my son's bedroom - no chimney breast and no large pattern. Its just brick effect wallpaper. I've worked out that it's five and a half widths/drops of wallpaper. Where do I start my papering? Also, I seem to remember my dad telling me that I paper away from...

    Advice Re Boiler and Location

    Pleased to say it is all sorted. Drove 230 miles last night. Picked up my nephew who is very familiar with sorting problems and repairs. The tank wasn't drained down at all - there was just a bit of a blockage and air in the system. There is a Boss for an immersion heater. I've arranged to...

    No worries. I've spoken to a couple now and it is as to be expected. People are busy until Thursday or Friday.
