That may be so but my question is more if the amount of copper corrosion in the pics is normal for a ~3 years old freezer or indicative of something amiss.

The damage is more directly underneath the freezer, and also the freezer is a "second freezer", so door is opened less frequently than the "main" freezer in the kitchen.

Hi, So I've had (mould-like?) damage to my carpet where the freezer was. It is a Liebherr GP1476 freezer. Having spoke to dealer, they were surprised and fairly assertive in saying that placing a freezer on carpet shouldn't have been an issue. Looking at the back of the Liebherr, I can see a...

Embarrassing - it turns out there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the boiler - the reset button was sticky and not resetting the boiler out of lockout. At least, all good!

Hmm, no joy. Will try once more tomorrow in case it's because it's so cold out & it's the condensate pipe after all... Fingers crossed. Thanks!

Yes.

So - tonight for some reason, I had the bright idea to bleed my radiators. During bleeding, my boiler pressure dropped below 1 bar (& the fault light started blinking once a second which indicates a lockout, I gather). So I topped the boiler up back up to 1.5bar. All radiators (except two towel...

I can't speak for the accent LEDs but the halogen (well, now LEDs) bulbs are 240V GU10s. But now you mention it, looks like the live/neutral cables on the left of the 'power distribution block' is mains so it could indeed be a 12V power supply...

In my flat, I have a pair of ceiling downlighters that have blue accent LEDs that I would like to disconnect. https://imgur.com/a/z0lK034 In the second picture, they are the four live/neutral cables on the right of the power distribution block. What is the safe way of going about this - cut...

Thanks! That sorta answers what I was wondering. There isn't much space around the boiler (it's inside a custom cabinet thingy) but its good to know it's not necessarily a significant wiring job - with wires all the way across the flat to a traditional "in the middle of the flat" location. I'd...

I am not sure where I have implied I wanted to do the work myself - my very first line of my post was clear that I would be asking someone to carry out the work. Is it so bad or wrong that I want to be informed and educated of what kind of work and holes in the wall I would be seeing an...

But would these fit inside where the current receiver is (inset in boiler) - or would the gas engineer need to blank the location of the old receiver and wire up a separate thermostat elsewhere in flat? I see the Honeywell T6R is wireless but I'm guessing the receiver unit still has to be wired...

Am not "competent" so this is more just knowing my options before I go asking gas engineers once things are more back to usual.. I have a Worcester 28i Junior with a wireless Digistat (similar to this one but not the Optimiser version). My biggest bugbear, and from what I can gather, a fairly...

Perhaps a bit of an unusual one but... So - a while back, my plumber repaired my Worcester boiler & left behind the broken Bosch water pressure switch. Is there any point in recycling this (local waste tip) or just chuck it in the bin? Or a better way of disposing of it?

Thanks! It's possible it'll be an insurance job (as part of "Trace & access") so I might get a pro floor fitter in... But good to know my options. The laminate's approx 16-18mm thick. Not man-made boards - it's almost certainly concrete underneath (building built in the early 70s) but honestly...
