Just to finish the thread: New plate heat exchanger gave good flow and fast hot water. New DHW sensor resolved the diverter valve motor going up and down giving hot/cold water from the hot taps. New flow regulator and a clean of the old parts resolved the hot water flow rate. Back to 11l per...

Had the plate heat exchanger replaced by local plumber! But faults still occur. The diverter valve motor is going up and down when hot water is demanded from the tap. He suspects the flow sensor/DHW sensor but cant these until Monday. Don't want to keep adding parts for no reason. A different...

Thanks for the reply picasso. I'll get Bosch out again to repair it based on the likely costs of parts alone. They did a fab job last time.

Hi, Hope someone can offer some advice. I've got a Worcester Bosch 30 combi boiler on natural gas thats been playing up a for while. It's about 10 years old and has already been repaired by Bosch about 4 years ago, having a new heat exchanger plus other bits. 1. When the radiators have been...

I've been in my house for 7 years now and I've renovated the whole place, including a kitchen extension and rear double storey extension. All through building regs. The roof at the front of the house is not in the best condition with many broken slates which I believe happened when some cowboys...

Well thanks for the replies, although some of it's over my head. I have just cut 4 holes in my bathroom ceiling, so 200w max. I need to install wires soon, do I go with 1mm T&E or some bell/speaker wires? I'm currently thinking on the latter as it's cheaper and what they recommend. Many...

Just found this on the site: "To connect the Sensor Pad to the Controller, use speaker cable or bell wire, if your cable run is likely to pass close to another Sensor Pad’s cable or mains voltage cable, or you have a long run of cable, we recommend using “CAT 5” cable. If you are using...

I need to get the wires for the low voltage dimmer sensor pads in place while I'm tiling the bathroom. I've read the documents available from the website I'm buying the sensors from and it refers to 'low voltage' cable. Is 1mm T@E OK for the job? http://www.sensor.co.uk...

:D All sorted now.

I've decided on 140x100 or 6"x4" lintels. The house is rendered outside so no issues there. I might add a few pics once fitted.

I'm sure it's been said many times. Bathroom, not a wet room that has no shower. I have ceramic tiles roughly 300x300. For the floor I'll use cement based fleix rapid. But what should I use for the walls? I have 20 square metres to do.

Ok thanks very much. I did ask at the builders merchants and they came up with the same.

Bathroom project. All old floor boards removed and joists exposed, so my question is what do I put down before laying porcelain tiles? I know the adhesive wants to be cement based flexi but am unsure of the substrate to use. Will 12mm cement based boards be sufficient to tile over on...

I have a bathroom that was traditionally two rooms, a toilet and bathroom which has long ago become one room with the stud wall removed. This has left two windows in the room being different sizes and heights within the room. I have planning to remove both for one long window. The...

This guide sugguests Dri-Coat? http://www.british-gypsum.com/~/media/Files/British-Gypsum/Brochures%20and%20Leaflets/Product-information/Thistle-Plaster-Selector-Guide.pdf Any thoughts please. :?
