Sorry chaps... laptop packed up!!! Flue is vertical. Since the weather has warmed slightly it is good as gold... no pun intended. Ta for the interest.

Hi all, Looking for some advice on my Potterton Gold HE Combi. It has been in for 18 months without hassle although we only moved in last March. Since the temps have dropped the hot water has started playing up. The boiler has started making funy noises which sound like (this is difficult to...

Boiler installed in November. I have not seen any benchmark sheet?? He is Gas Safe registered as i checked up his number prior to giving him the go ahead. Photo matched etc.

Should my installer have organised the Building Regulation Compliance certificates for my new Boiler and heating system or is it up to me to sort it out? Looking to rent the property out in th future so need to get it sorted out. After previous work the cert has arrived a couple of weeks...

The slide arm on my shower enclosurs has broken and it looks an easy piece to replace however... I have no idea of the make or model?? Anyone got any ideas on best way to resource the part? Was thinking of sending pic's of the shower to the various shower enclosure companies? Not sure if they...

Want to get my system power flushed following adding to the system / extending the house - prior to getting a new boiler fitted. mainly DIY to save on costs tbh. Does not "seem" too difficult a task and wondered if the equipment can be hired (HSS etc) and it is feasible for a competant DIY'er?

Which bit is amazing?? I must say I am growing frustrated with finding someone "competent" who will actually turn up to quote (All 3 local installers failed to turn up at time /day they advised - wasted time off work etc!!). The next three have quoted for a boiler that the current situation...

Just had a 3rd quote for my replacement boiler. All 3 have recommended the Worcester 30 CDI as the best boiler for my situation. I am amazed at the differance in quote prices... between £1585 and £2110 for the same installation to the letter! My biggest worry is that the 30 CDI requires a...

Just ripped out the kitchen diner - 7.6m x 3.8m. Prev had carpet one half and vinyl flooring off a roll on the Kitchen end. Want to do away with carpet due to high traffic area and resulting wear/stains. Tiling 30m sq with good quality ones + fitting is much more than the budget. I...

Copied from Flooring thread. Got similar issue myself- any help welcome. After removing some horrible laminate flooring in preferance for floor tiles we have found the concrete floor covered in 10 inch square tiles. Not sure on what they are made of but a lot of 70's houses have them. About...

Try the tiling forum.... copy pasted it there for you.

Given all the pipework is in conduit.... do i / can I just need to install access points at the Tee's ?? Seems i picked a dud to do the work....

He has installed the new heating system, Boiler / Rads / Pipework and advised all i need to do is replace the screed - which i am capable of doing. However i noticed the expansion in the pipework and was concerned. Hence the query. I have held off doing this as a result and held off on final...

Right.... he is Gas Safe registered. I checked on the web site. He also does work for British Gas as a sub contractor. Further he was getting calls all the time to do work whilst he was with us. Now if i have chosen a wrong un and i need to approach him to rectify... i would be better off...
