    Replacement Sky+ HD box

    Point taken, but it's understood what he mean i.e. free to air channels which are also on Freeview / Freesat.

    Replacement Sky+ HD box

    Sorry for the delay, just returned from hols. Yes, looking for a sky box because mother is used to the menu system and also the channel numbers. Also I have tried several of the other non-brand receivers and even the Manhattan one on Amazon, but the menu system is a little more complicated if...

    Replacement Sky+ HD box

    I'm looking to replace an old Sky+ HD box for my elderly mother's home which intermittently works. We don't want a freesat or other free to air clone box as we want the free to air channels on Sky which my mother is more familiar using. We never used the recording function of the old box as we...

    Gas hob replacement

    We have a Neff 4-burner gas hob bought around 2008. One of the burners has been playing up for 10 years (it doesnt ignite easily) and despite having an engineer come around and use some wire wool to clean the connection etc, he said that they are supposed to perform like this i.e. you need to...

    what should my boiler service certificate look like

    I did observe the service, yes. I wouldn't rate them to be honest. Even though I am of Asian heritage, this company seems to have an outsourced call centre in Pakistan with their 30 or so engineers (they are gas safe registered obviously) all of the same or similar community. I got chatting...

    what should my boiler service certificate look like

    I got the second one for £4.49 which has boiler service. Not fussed about the breakdown cover as I get that free with my home insurance emergency cover.

    what should my boiler service certificate look like

    I had a minor problem with the boiler, I think I might have pulled out the flexi condensing pipe whilst securing it to the waste behind the washing machine as there was water dropping from under the inside of the boiler. That's the reason the Viessmann rep came around and was asking me...

    what should my boiler service certificate look like

    I have one of those 24/7 home rescue mo they subscription plans for less than a fiver a month. Got my first service with them this week included. Not really happy with them as their call centre is overseas and review sites not highly rating them. What should I ask them to provide in the...

    what should my boiler service certificate look like

    I had a Viessman boiler engineer tell me that my gas safety certificate from my gas engineer when servicing my boiler was incorrect and was for landlords, even though it says "Landlord / Home owners gas safety certificate" on there with the word landlord crossed out. Should I be expecting a...

    Comments on this article

    I found this article interesting if not least because I found it funny that the complaining neighbour states that she thought there would be a maintenance gap between the two extensions. What - all circa 3 inches of it?! The couple who infilled - are they wrong? my neighbour build up to the...

    What chemical on earth is so illegal that it can't even be mentioned. I'm so intrigued.

    Advice needed to power flush a home

    Sorry I’m not good with reading between the lines. Special liquid is what? why do you think a plate heat exchanger wouldn’t be affected after all the fins or whatever you call those thin things, are more likely to get blocked that on the main heat exchanger? What would you normally charge to...

    Advice needed to power flush a home

    The original diagnosis was put down as heat exchanger needs replacing rather than it being blocked so they probably think it’s faulty. In practice these HEs don’t go wrong apart from being blocked, I agree. In any case thinking about whether to do it or leave it.

    Advice needed to power flush a home

    So here is my dilemma. The powerflush has cleaned out the plate heat exchanger and all is good, hot water etc. However, the original insurance company that covers my boiler under cover has agreed to replace the plate heat exchanger still. I have a private quote of £265 (parts and labour)...

    Advice needed to power flush a home

    What do you mean "others dont"? If I had a bottle of X100 and had other inhibitor from another brand already in the system, whilst it may be better to stick with the same brand, is there any danger to using and topping up with a different brand? On an unrelated question, if I need to have my...
