thanks Colin. do you think this needs doing or would it be ok to be left as it is? I definitely wont be working that high on ladders so will be a job for a roofer!

After the recent high winds we had to get our tv aerial bracket replaced. I've never really looked at the gable end in much detail (!) but noticed that several of the battens are visible. The house is 9yrs old this summer and one of our neighbours houses is the same, but the others look ok. I...

pcb replaced-all fixed!

I don't think it's the pump-noise coming from boiler (bottom bit) rather than upstairs where the pump is...

Finally been in the kitchen when the buzzing happened- turned the thermostat on the boiler down and it didn't stop the buzzing... Turned the boiler off at the fuse(wall switch) and the buzzing stopped. Switched back on and the buzzing returned.

So an update; each time the buzzing has started it has stopped when I remove the cover! Another thing I have found is that by switching the fuse off at the wall the buzzing stops. If I switch the fuse back on it sometimes starts buzzing again... This is quite an intermittent fault and only...

Its that time of year again when things make strange noises with the heating! Our boiler has been fine all summer so I have now determined that it makes a strange buzzing noise when the heating has been on (as apposed to just the hot water). The noise happens only when the boiler has been...

Many thanks for your help all - got it sorted!!! Very quick job to do (fortunately all nuts were ok to open) and cost 99p for 5 new washers!! Very happy :D

Thanks for the help. Do you know where there could be any instructions on how to replace the diaphragm washer? :?

Hi All We have a problem with our downstairs loo - it is making a fog horn type noise when it flushes. The neighbours toilet also did this (we heard it though the walls), but they have since moved out so are not around to ask.... Basically I think that the fill valve needs changing. I...
