    Boiler not firing up for central heating.

    Hi, I have a Potterton combi boiler (5 years old) and it has stopped firing up when in CH mode. I've reset the Boss BPS242RF receiver and green light is on but boiler doesn't fire up. Fires up fine for hot water at taps. Thanks for any advice.

    asbestos in loft

    Can you remove it yourself without drilling it? If so damp it down,wear a dust mask and remove it. Double bag it and take it to council tip they don't charge. If house is later than circa 1976 it is unlikely to be asbestos.

    chipped door frames

    Hi, I have just moved into an old house. Most of the door frames have chips in them. The paint is quite thick due to years of overpainting which makes the chips look bad. Are there any quick fixes or do I have to get all paint off and start again? Any advice appreciated.

    Boiler low pressure wont re-set.

    Thanks for all advice. Tried all except shorting the wiring. Was going to try this but tried giving it a few 'taps' with hammer & screwdriver. After a dozen 'taps' it reset itself.Thanks again for help.

    Hi, I have a Worcester Bosch 350 combi boiler. Yesterday the low system pressure light came on. The pressure was low so I pressured it back up to normal but the low pressure light has stayed on and of course boiler wont fire up. Has anybody got any ideas on what I can do? All advice gratefully...
