I have just had a quote to re-felt a flat roof of around 10'x8'. I was expecting a quote for felt but it was for EPDM Fleeceback Rubberbond. I haven't any experience of EDPM but the pamphlet with it says it lasts for up to 50 years and is stronger and more hardwearing than normal felt. Can...

D_Hailsham - Here's the info as requested, I measured the house again and adjusted the amount of insulation and came up with a boiler size of 16.58Kw which is closer to the rad output which I recalulated to 14.84Kw :- Based on this I assume I only need an 18Kw boiler, I would like to add at...

D_Hailsham - by my calculations the rad output is 13475 Watts and 45973 Btu/Hr. Kevski

I did a calculation of the boiler size required and it came out at 25Kw, based on that do I need 28mm for the flow and return pipes. Thanks for D_Hailsham and Agile's help. Regards Kevski

I have an Ideal WLX RS60 boiler I want to replace. I have had four quotes for replacement boilers which include a British Gas 330+ High Efficiency Boiler, a Vaillant EcoTEC Plus 630 System Boiler, a 24Kw Baxi boiler and a 18Kw Glow Worm Boiler. Two of the quotes said the 22mm flow and...

I have had a couple of quotes for replacing an Ideal WLX RS60 boiler and both quotes recommended replacing the 22mm piping between the boiler and tank with 28mm piping, is this necessary. Also one of the quotes included replacing the tank which is around 10 years old, is this necessary...

Thanks for all your help, I'm in the process of getting further quotes. A couple of other question, both quotes I had recommended replacing the 22mm piping between the boiler and tank with 28mm piping, is this necessary as this adds additional cost. Also one of the quotes included replacing...

I have an Ideal WLX RS60 boiler which is around 24 years old, I want to replace it before it starts to go wrong and I think it's probably inefficient anyway against modern boilers. I have had two quotes, one from British Gas who recommended British Gas 330+ High Efficiency Boiler and one...

Thanks Rocks1, What exactly do I purchase to repair the dim LCD. Regards Kevski

The LCD display on my Hotpoint WT960 Washing Machine has gone dim and can hardly been seen. Is this something I can repair myself? Thanks Kevski

I have a Hotpoint FDW60 Dishwasher that stops after the wash cycle and the delicate light flashes, the cycle then ends. The plates are cold as though the water is not being heated, does this mean there is a problem with the heating element or could it be something else. If it is the heating...

I have an Ideal WLX RS60 Boiler that is around 22 years old. I have it regularly serviced by British Gas and it hasn't caused me any problems in all the time I have had it. British Gas say that some of the parts are no longer available and recommend me replacing the boiler. Should I take British...

I have a power shower fed by a New Team MK3 pump which is around 15 years old. Everything has been working fine up to a few weeks ago when the hot water out of the shower head started coming out very low pressure. The pump seems to be pumping okay and the cold water comes out fine. I'm wondering...

I have a power shower fed by a Monsoon 3.0 bar Twin pump, the pump is around 4 years old and the shower has always worked okay until the last couple of days. Water out comes out normally when the shower is first turned on but after a few minutes it reduces until there is just a trickle coming...

In the installation guide it refers to the Control Board which is the PCB I replaced and it's also got an ignition board.
