    No, it was for a house that were were going to buy but the purchase fell through. Good luck with your automation!

    Replace the waste on Mira shower tray without lifting the floor

    Thank you for the answers. Considering there is no guaranteed quick fix based on the very helpful suggestions by @Bonni I will go with @reds42 suggestion and leave it for the time being.

    Replace the waste on Mira shower tray without lifting the floor

    We have inherited a neglected shower in the en-suite with a house we bought recently. Is it possible to replace the manky peeling chrome waste on this Mira shower tray without remove the shower tray? I don't want to try and force it for fear of it coming to pieces and making work for myself...

    Does oiling a worktop give this sort of finish?

    We have an exiting kitchen fitted by previous owners, we have added an island. The existing oak worktop has a very nice finish and have attached a pic of it. Will this Howdens worktop oil (left by previous owner) give us this same finish on a new oak worktop? I ask as we used Danish oil on a...

    Curved sliding electric gate

    Thank you... at this stage cost is not an issue. I am mainly concerned as to whether it is workable.

    Curved sliding electric gate

    Hello all, We are looking to add a curved sliding electric gate to the drive. I have attached a sketch of what I think will work. It's a wide gate @ 5.5m We would of course need a dead level concrete base onto which I would attach the curved track rail. The curved track would be make in...

    Trianco Contractor Combi 110 HE not firing

    Yes, he did. The oil pressure had been set (not by me I) to double what it should be. He also fitted the correct nozel after the last chap that came out, fitted the wrong one. He also replaced the braided oil pipe, he showed me the previous and the rubber was perished. Hopefully have found an...

    Trianco Contractor Combi 110 HE not firing

    I got a heating engineer in and I am pleased I did. I had set the electrode block incorrectly. He also serviced it.. it has never sounded so good. I got told off for messing with it! Solved!

    Trianco Contractor Combi 110 HE not firing

    Replacement electrode block fitted, boiler fires. Almost happy days.... However, it now smokes really badly which it didn't before it broke. I removed the baffles, brushed and vacuumed them and it hasn't improved it. Must have had it running for an hour and no improvement. Regardless of...

    Trianco Contractor Combi 110 HE not firing

    No, I don't have an electrode setting diagram. It's one of these: https://imgur.com/cKFe9mg If it was incorrectly set, I guess it wouldn't spark when not attached to burner. I do hate not understanding stuff like this! Thank you, yes I will do my best!

    Trianco Contractor Combi 110 HE not firing

    Out of curiosity, I reattached the electrode block to the HT leads, but the electrode block was not attached to the burner nor were the HT leads going thru the holes of the burner and it sparks. After I reattached the electrode block to the burner it no longer sparks. I swapped the leads around...

    Trianco Contractor Combi 110 HE not firing

    No, just at the terminals. I washed the cables and inspected very closely and there is no sign of damage. I do wish I had inspected the electrode this closely when it first broke! I do however have a boiler with a few nice new components and do understand a little better as to how they work.

    Flooring quote too high?

    @dazlight I'm really sorry for not coming back to you. I was never notified that you had posted on this thread. Thank you for your input, it does help.. maybe the local firm wasn't too far off with the price. They never got back to me though, so guess they didn't need the work. Once things get...

    Trianco Contractor Combi 110 HE not firing

    Update: It's a knackered electrode block. I get loads of spark when I put the HT leads close to each other. Will confirm tomorrow when it arrives.

    Okay, just fitted a new EBI and still no spark. So, I have fitted new; photocell, control box and EBI. Oil still getting though as blast tube is wet. The only thing left is to replace electrodes and HT leads, is this correct?
