Thanks for all the info, there are taps that work from 0.5 bar but not many. Not set on it enough to pay for a pump. If not Ill stick with the plain old taps and get one of those sprayers you can screw on the end. Thanks everyone Regards Mag.

Hello Please try and advise me. Ive looked through the wiki pages but havnt found the advice/info i want. Question is, what happens if you get a pull down spray kitchen tap (for example works on minimum 1 bar water pressure) when you have a gravity fed system? Cold from mains, hot from tank in...

Thanks.

Blimey. Thank you.

I think it was the fan that went. So you think that any gas safe engineer can get the parts....or maybe they sell the parts only to british gas for a certain time then after that to everyone else? I just felt that I had no choice but to take out home service contract with bg. Anyway thanks...

Yes they installed it. Its bloomin noisy as well.

Thanks for your replies. The boiler is a Baxi Precision +

Hi. Has anyone heard of british gas installing boilers exclusive to them? Bought a new one from them about 5 years ago now. I found this out when I cancelled my renewal BG contract. I called out a local gas engineer and he tried to get parts but came back and said the boiler company only deal...

The motion sensor water squirter is the best, it really goes and makes a noise as well..., plus in the summer it will be fun to catch visitors out hee hee. grandson will love it. We had foxes that were digging holes in the new turf, I thought it was rats but a pest controller came round and said...

Thanks everyone, all good advice there. Will probably sand it, son in law has a sander, and will soak the feet. Three feet look ok but one of them has a hole going up the leg, dont know yet how far and it all looked a bit soft when I had a quick look this morning. Ill post pictures when I get time.

Thanks John, yes its a good one, quite unusual details, just one leg is a bit rotten at the bottom, it may need replacing, Ill see how soft the wood is when I turn it over next. I thought it was a bargain at £40 at an antique and collectables centre (y). Good tips re the legs and cover. Thanks...

Thanks John. Is there anything I should do between sanding and staining? Some sort of wash? Thanks again Mags

Hi all Hope the picture is not too big. Bought this old bench and would appreciate some advice, tips or suggestions from you expert folk. I dont know what to do now. Not pictured but I just tried wood stripper on the front edge and legs but it didnt work. Left it on for 15 mins then another...

Its serviced annually along with the CH and boiler. Maybe Im worrying unnecessarily, thanks for the info.

Hello Ive tried searching the forum but coming up with nothing. My chimney breast gets hottish, hard to say how hot, not too hot to put your hand on. Was going to get it swept (I read there could be a chimney fire if the chimney gets too hot) but I have a gas fire that a gas safe engineer says...
