Thanks, should this only be used on external pipework? My internal pipework is plastic?

Thanks Hugh, I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Appreciate what you say, tried cheap drain cleaner down the sink and not much difference. Then removed the u bend and cleaned it manually as it never really cleaned it.

Thanks Hugh, I should have said I bought a cheap snake previously but couldn't get it round the bend in the shower, too tight a bend. I struggle to get access under the drain too.

Morning, Help please! Does anyone know why my shower drain would be slower after 1 shower? During the second shower of the morning the water begins to gather in the shower tray. This has happened for a number of months. I did get a plunger to see if that makes a difference, I do this at...

Thanks to both of you, yes going to leave this to someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks again.

I've uploaded pics to my album if you know how to look there?

I checked the voltage as you mentioned. Getting 5V between live/neutral and live/earth. 0V between neutral/earth. This was regardless of if the fuse was in or out. I then opened the fuse box and found the connecting with to the shower fuse to be burnt from the fuse upwards for approx 4...

Great thanks, I'll post the results tomorrow night.

I did try voltage between live/neutral and earth. I do recall checking between live OR Neutral and earth. Not 100% sure I checked both though. I'll check tomorrow. I take it this would check for a fault in the cable to earth? Thanks.

It's a fuse box, not RCD. the fuse is fine, short between 2 sides. I can't get the probes in to check the voltage at the fuse though.

I've been trying to help a friend with their electric shower but cannot find the solution to the electric shower not working. I started with the fuse which was fine. Next I looked at the shower unit and there was only 5V on the supply side of the shower. Next I tried the shower pull switch...

Looks good, how can I tell if it is compatible with the Greenstar Ri? Thanks for the advice.

Hi, A family member has a Worcester Greenstar Ri boiler with simple on / off controls and no room thermostat. I have a Honeywell CM927 with a combi boiler and advised she should get this. Is the CM927 compatible? Take it she would need to keep the current controls and leave the CH on all...

Thanks everyone. The boiler was only installed 18 months ago and the water has always taken around this amount of time so I don't think it's that flameport. The boiler was serviced not long ago as well.

My boiler has an "Eco" and a "Comfort" setting. The comfort setting keep the heat exchanger warm I think the installer said. When on comfort, I can hear the boiler fire up for a few seconds during the day and night even when heating and HW is off. Not sure the make of my dads, I know it was...
