Thanks Razor - am getting that distinct impression from the discussions I've found on here!

Hi all, thanks again for your help! For anyone else who reads this having seen the same issue we did try a couple of things 1) Bending the pair of electrodes very slightly allowed the electrode to align at right angles to the case which allowed the ceramic to pass the small metal shoulder just...

Hi all, the GC No. is 41-315-61, I'll try and get the whole sticker uploaded so I can post that too Thanks ScottishGasMan - my gas man said the same, not sure if I'm just really unlucky.. Thanks Chris - GC No. above BoilerDetails by trevw posted 1 Apr 2022 at 5:17 PM

Hi Chris, thanks - so I may need to get my gas fitter to post this question, or would there be professional forums he might use? He's a friend so he may be willing to do this. He is the one who was talking to Glow Worm not me, I was assuming they weren't helpful because the boiler is beyond its...

Hi, we bought our boiler (GlowWorm 24HX) around 2005. When we had it serviced recently the electrode fell to bits. On getting the 'correct' replacement we found it didn't fit, the ceramic insulator around the electrode is too long and fouls on a shoulder of some kind in the heat exchanger...

Hi, I've got a salamander shower pump feeding two showers with thermostatic valves and rain shower heads. All was fine until the original shower heads died (one scaled and one split), I've tried to replace them but invariably the shower heads are made of two sections (top and bottom) that get...

Hi, I have an unpressurised central heating system (Underfloor heating up and downstairs) and recently had to replace a shower - which meant removing the hot tank. On hooking everything back up and letting things settle/re-fill (the tank feeds have isolation valves so I didn't drain the heating...

Eric, thanks for the tips! Sounds like the way to go. Do you think there would be any reluctance on the part of a newly engaged electrician? thanks Trevor

Hi, I started extending my house back in Feb 2005, initially with a single storey rear extension, then a two storey side extension a couple of years later (same planning app etc.) When I started, the attitude seemed to be that DIY electrics was still okay (despite Part P). The work to be...

just picking up on something there, you mentioned concrete colour - is that a third option? I assumed self coloured came premixed?

Thanks Dann! The kind of look I am after can be seen in these links: http://eaglestonelandscapedesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/gr5.jpg http://www.creatingeden.com.au/images/gallery/rendered_retaining_wall.jpg Any thoughts on the self coloured vs traditional? I notice you say plastic...

Hi, I have seen a number of walls locally that appear to be rendered on the sides and the top, this seems to give nice clean lines and I have a large garden wall that I would like to do the same to (9" hollow concrete block with a top course of dense concrete blocks laid flat, about 10ft...

That seems fair :-) Hopefully the below displays correctly. The trim is a black ribbed plastic that hooks on the underside of the stool base.. I can get a pic of the stool base that lacks a trim if that would help? Can't believe I am the only person who has had to replace one of...
