I have recently had new upvc facias, soffits and guttering and a new upvc back door fitted. Roof stuff is ok but door giving some problems, still waiting for glass panel to fitted to top half, waiting 2 weeks for that now, maybe done by the end of the week. Locking mechanism needs adjusting...

Thanks, engineer is calling again tomorrow, just thought another expert opinion might help him to diagnose the ongoing problem.

I have a Glow Worm economy plus cinventional boiler, 19 years old in good nick (usually) serviced annually. I have a boiler and heating controls service contract. Last week I had to have the engineer out as the burners were not firing up just the click click click of the ignition. He said it...

I have read numerous posts on this forum from people who complain of noisy wc cisterns and cold water supply tanks in lofts when they are filling. When asked by the person replying what the noise sounds like the replies are generally the same, that is it sounds like water flowing through the...

Thanks for that Ian. I will stop worrying about it now.

Thanks Tony. Any ideas about the over run query?

I had a power flush a few weeks ago, and posted some problems that I had been having on this forum which have (almost) been sorted. Another query has cropped up and need some advice. I had a new pump fitted at the time of the power flush as old one was all gunged up. Before the PF and new pump...

Yes I am trying to do this, emailed a few days ago but no answer, have just sent another to them.

There are no trvs in the system. Why can I turn that valve off? I am assuming it has never been off berore but can't guarantee that. Should mention that boiler is a conventional one, you probably know that, and is 18 years old but in good condition.

It's a Glow Worm economy plus.

LH valve has to go over 2 complete turns before fully open, RH one just over I complete turn. Is this right? Another post mentions similar problem with noisy pipes when hot water only is on and some replies say could be air trapped, poster asks how to bleed that, but no replies.

Sorry for delay in replying, at work, still am, so not sure how far valves knobs are on but will check when I get home. Thanks for the advice both of you appreciate it.

Sorry I don't. What would that tell me if I could?

I have a convential boiler heating hot water and 11 rads. 2 weeks ago I had a power flush, the ch had only been run once during the summer when I topped up the system with inhibitor (waste of time, sludge already doing its dirty work) Only had the heating on since powerflush when weather got a...

Can anybody assist with a problem I have just noticed. Have had heating on a few mornings lately, today noticed a wet slab next to house, an overflow pipe above from heating expansion tank. Had a look inside tank and water is all scummy with froth around the inlet pipe. water level looks...

Thanks but I doubt the agents would comply with a request to re-route the drainage pipe. No harm in asking though I suppose.
