    Leak near boiler

    Hi, I have found a leak from some kind of valve just above my Potterton boiler. Photos attached. Can anyone tell me what it is? I know how to drain my system so can I just buy a new one and replace the leaky one? Or does it indicate something wrong with the boiler? Thanks Alan

    Stacking a dryer and connecting to a drain?

    Hi all, Recently got a new condenser dryer. I noticed that you can connect it to the drain and save having to empty the water container. My dryer is stacked on top of the washing machine so the drain pipe would have a long fall on it. Is that a problem with a dryer? Being so high up I...

    Install toilet or floor first?

    Hi, I have a toilet to install in a downstairs WC. The floor is concrete and will be screeded (probably a few mm deep as its not very even) and then have Amtico installed on top. Should I install the toilet before the floor, so it sits on the concrete and the floor is laid around it. Or...

    Close coupled WC floor waste

    Hi, I would like to replace my downstairs toilet with a close coupled toilet. The problem is that the waste goes into the floor. There is a right angled connector that is connected to the sink waste, I'd like to leave this in place. The distance from the wall to the front of the connector...

    Central heating pump noises

    Central heating pump noises

    Hi My central heating pump has started behaving strangely. I've tried to capture this in a youtube video: http://youtu.be/2XCqdXgB0b0 If I turn the hot water on the pump starts to pulse. It runs for a few seconds and then stops for a few seconds. This happens for a while. Then it will...

    Myson Kickspace 500 Duo Hydro-Electric Fan Convector

    Hi, I have a question about the Myson Kickspace 500 Duo Hydro-Electric Fan Convector. Is the fan automatically activated when hot water from the central heating system flows through the heater? Or does the fan run continuously regardless of the central heating system being on or not...

    Recommend me a bathroom extractor fan

    Hi, I would like an inline extractor fan for my bathroom. I hear that these are more powerful and quiet than the ones that sit in the wall. The room is 2mx2.2m so not massive, but I want to be sure its powerful enough to keep the mirrors clear etc. This is the kind of thing I am thinking...

    Got it off now. I just needed to squeeze a bit harder on the top and bottom for the front to come off.

    Thermostat removal

    Can anyone tell me how to remove one of these? I thought that the front would come off leaving a wall plate behind. I have removed the screw in the top right hand corner but the front does not come off. I dont want to force it so thought I'd ask here. Thanks Alan
