    INLINE BATHROOM LIGHT/EXTRACTOR FAN QUERY

    Thanks for reply. I have already bought the fan and am just going to do a straight swap. Is it a big job to make the existing light suitable for an led bulb and what would I need to achieve this? Thanks again.

    INLINE BATHROOM LIGHT/EXTRACTOR FAN QUERY

    Hi, hope you can help. Recently had bathroom done and spotlights fitted. 3 are fitted with leds and the other has a normal 50w halogen spotlight in it(this is the inline fan light). Installer said he cannot fit an led bulb into this one. Is this correct? Also, this fan light has a 14w...

    OLD BROWN CEILING LEAK STAIN COMING BACK

    Hi, Looking for some advise please. Had a leak in bathroom which went through onto hall ceiling. Put on a couple of coats of shellac Zinsser bin and then emulsioned. Lasted for a couple of years and now it's coming back through big time. I'm fairly certain there is no new leak as can...

    POTTERTON COMBI 8O-YES IT'S STILL GOING

    Tony, You beat me to it. Realised I was being thick again after I posted reply. Diverter valve is probably ok. It is hot water leak causing cold water to drip onto valve. Thanks for your patience/replies.

    Tony, Again, thanks for response. Can you explain how I have demonstrated leak in hot water pipework after the boiler? Thought it was just the diverter valve was faulty? There sending another engineer on Wednesday and I'd like to be prepared. Cheers.

    Hi, Turned off mains water this morning and initially it done the same thing only for a couple of times though. Then flame light stayed on for ages and rads heated a lot faster than had been doing. Turned mains water back on and then boiler reverted back to only flaming for about 45 secs...

    Tony, Think i'm getting it now, apologies for being a bit thick sometimes. Yes I did turn off mains water and heating still worked i.e. came on anyway. Didn't check if my initial problem was still happening though i.e. flame light only staying on for 45 secs or so(that's the thick bit...

    Mick, Thanks for reply. I'm not getting this I'm afraid. My heating should still work if mains water turned off as it's a sealed system. Shouldn't it? How do you mean dipping tap? Hot or cold, any or both? As for leak, do you mean on heating system or mains cold water supply? How...

    Tony, According to 2nd engineer with new pump being fitted it may well be "pumping" better that old one and it may have disturbed sludge. I am certainly no expert but all rads have been turned up to max for the past couple hours and some are stone cold others are warm and boiler doing the...
