Hi Community, I recently had an entire Chimney stack removed (2 x Chimney breasts - one in the living room and one in the bedroom AND the chimney on the roof). The loft is a mess - dust and black soot in many places, bricks scattered in random places, insulation curled and full of dust etc. In...

Morning Guys, I just did the following on my Veritas: 1. 1234 2. PROG 4. 19 5. 9 Bleeps 6. Omit ZONE 5 lit up for me. The issue is there is a solid red tamper light illuminated on the panel that I cannot get rid of. According to one of the earlier posts, my issue is: 5 Keypad offline Any...

Hi, We are in the process of sourcing a new exterior door after our UPVC got kicked in. Through home insurance, we qualify for a like-for-like upvc panel replacement however, the surveyor mentioned that composite doors are the way forward. He furthermore added that Yale are the best (not the...

After replacement of the boiler or after the system is flushed and before replacement of the boiler?

gggg

Hello, We will be replacing a new boiler soon, which will be power-flushed prior to installation. Do we need to attach a Magnaclean once the new combi goes on? Also another minor one, at what point is an inhibitor added? - Before the power-flush/replacement? After the power-flush and...

Thanks for the advice guys. I checked B&Q and they have a switch for £28!! here: http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9373643&fh_view_size=10&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=45A+neon&fh_eds=%C3%9F&fh_refview=search&isSearch=true But screwfix do...

Hello dudes, Ok so I unscrewed the socket and the first thing I noticed was a strong burny smell. Here is the wiring: 2 earth wires going into one hole on left side 2 earth wires going into one hole on right side 1 live wire going into one hole on right side 1 live wire going into...

Thank you mate. I will unscrew it and take a picture and come back on here.

Hello guys, We have an electric shower that has stopped functioning due to a faulty power switch??? - It's a white socket on the outside of the bathroom wall with a red switch and red/amber LED. Last week we noticed the LED either did one of three things when switched ON: 1. Lit up but...

Had a new Vaillant boiler fitted and was looking at the thermostat options. To my surprise, there is a crap load: VAILLANT TIMESWITCH 140 VAILLANT VRC 400 WALL MOUNTED WEATHER COMPENSATOR VAILLANT VRT 50 DIGITAL ROOM THERMOSTAT VAILLANT VR 65 CONTROL CENTRE VAILLANT VRC430 DIGITAL...

That is PRECISELY my point. Most if not, all can get the replacement done in a 3/4 of a day and will state the power flush will take approximately 5 hours (half day) using the customers electricity and water. I bet you a million pounds I can phone any random boiler fitter or expert and ask...

3 days to change a boiler? Are you having a laugh? Many and I mean MANY boiler fitters can get the job you are talking about done in 13 hours or so. 4 - 8 hours for a boiler change 5 - 6 hours for a power flush 12 or 13 hours converts into 1.5 days NOT double. You are effectively...

Sorry Mod. I was merely pointing out that Tony is trying to rip me or anyone else for that matter, off. £840 for 12/13 hours of work is ridiculous especially when you take into consideration that 4 - 6 of those hours are the power flushing machine operating automatically using the...

Don't listen to Tony, he hasn't got a clue and will try and suggest more work than what is required at rogue trader rates. As everyone has said, a Power Flush will most likely resolve the fluctuation in hot water. On a side note, Tony has confirmed (on a separate thread) that he is a great...
