I have a bath tub that I replace the bath seal about once a year as it keeps deteriorating. What would cause a seal to deteriorate? I used unibond bath sealant. Is there a better product out there which will stop me having to replace the seal once a year?

if the damaged mortar is repaired, how long do new mortar tend to last?

yes, the junction of main roof and back roof are filled with mortar which has degraded with time and leaking. The roofer has recommended that the mortar be repaired.

My house has a back addition and the tiles between the main roof and this back addition are joined by mortar filling. This has become damaged with time and so water is leaking through the mortar. Roofer recommends that this mortar is repaired but obviously this will have limited life time...

British Gas has recommended that we get a Hydroflow for our Potterton combi boiler which is 10 years old. They have quoted £175 including VAT. Is this worth having or are they just trying to flog work?

Whenever I flush my downstairs toilet the pipes make a really odd loud noise like a train hooting as it drives past! Any help on what could be causing this?

Do I need a gas safe engineer to connect a digital wall timer to a boiler or will an electrician do?

I had a new storage heater installed and the electrician report stated that the timeswitch equipment seals to the off peak consumer unit were removed by persons unknown. I assume that this means that the timeswitch is there but someone had tampered with the seal. This indicates that the...

I think this may be a bone of contention from the replies to my post which I will need to manage. My argument would be that any equipment before the consumer unit belongs to the supplier as occupants are not meant to tamper with equipment before the consumer unit, that is the meter and so it...

The arrangement used to be the first of your description until the current meter was installed two years ago so it is now your second arrangement. The external timers are placed between the meter and the off peak consumer unit to which the storage heaters are connected. These timers appear...

So effectively you are saying that the external timers are responsible for cutting the supply off from the off peak consumer unit during the day rather than the meter?

This has now been sorted with a horstmann boost switch. The boost is used for the bottom immersion heater which is not needed except when the top heater breaks down and we have to wait for dynorod to come and replace the top immersion heater under our maintainance contract. Been going for a...

I know that but just wondered if the meter is responsible for switching the off peak consumer unit on and off as I was told before I tell them as it may have nothing to do with the meter.

the former so the supply to the storage heaters are recorded as peak prices since it is supplied during the day.
