I purchased it just a bit annoyed that the plumber didn’t mention it if it was wrong. Could have got another one had I known. Surely there must be a way to plumb it in so it does what I want? Any ideas???

Hi I’ve had a Bristan shower installed with recessed control unit with 3 knobs. I thought that the top one would switch between the two shower heads I have; the middle would be heat (which it is); and the bottom would be flow rate. The way it’s been plumbed in the top knob switches between the...

Tco seems ok - continuity setting makes beeping sound at least…

Getting a reading of 3.5 on the solenoid so guess it’s not that?

Yes have a multimeter but not got a clue what to do with it

I have a Mira sport Airboost shower. The unit is turning on but no waters coming out and the light on the low power button is just flashing… Any ideas? Thanks

Sorry to jump on this old thread but my more Airboost has just stopped working and is just flashing the low power light. As OP said, it’s not listed as a fault in the instructions. Was it a fuse issue/connection in the isolation switch for you? Thanks

Most councils blank out the details of the applicant. If not then as others have suggested, an agent could apply on his behalf. They would however have to serve notice on the owner and again this is on the form so publicly available (although again some LPAs block out the info). It is unlawful...

Hi I live in a Victorian terrace house with stone bays and window surrounds in Bristol. The paints gone flakey and needs removing and ideally I’d have it properly restored but I’m in the middle of a loft conversion so no money to do that at the moment. But I want to make the most of having the...

Hi I have a Victorian terrace house with a narrow side return alley between the kitchen and boundary wall. The boundary wall is about 2.2m tall and only about 1.3m from my property. I want to use the space to store stuff under cover, so I was thinking of putting a glazed roof over the top so...

Hi. I have an insinkerator 3 in 1 F-H3N1 which when you use the hot (boiling) water tap, cold water has started coming out of the vent hole on the tap. The instructions suggests this could be a result of a blocked outlet hose but I’ve checked and can’t see that it’s blocked. After running it a...

Looks to be clean water coming out. Sorry it’s a beko washing machine - predictive text changed it to bell! I’ve attached some photos if that’s of any use?!

Hi I have an integrated bell washing machine that’s just over 2 years old. It’s just started leaking a lot of water so I took it out and had a look tonight. Checked all the obvious pipe connections, drum seal, tray etc but it seems to be coming from the back of the machine, right hand side when...

Hi My wife’s just started working from home and needs a desk to work at. She wants it built into an alcove to give her maximum space. My question really was what’s the best material to use for it? Some have suggested paint Ming MDF but I’m concerned that this will get scratched (she has lots of...

I can’t see a fuse and I’ve changed the whole transformer unit which hasn’t fixed it. Is there any way I can check whether there’s a short circuit and where this is if it is? Sounds a bit far fetched but it seemed to have happened at exactly the same time as the earthquake a couple of weeks...
