Any help please folks.

Hi, it seems we have something in our walls, not seen any evidence yet but only scuttling noises, help.

Decided to take the plunge and get a new boiler as this one is nearly 30 years old now and I have already swapped the fan twice, was looking at heat pumps but read that they aren’t good if your house isn’t new (mine was built 1996]. As above we have what I think is called a system boiler ideal...

Yea, that’s the one

This is it. Thanks so far for the advice guys.

Evening, think I have found the issue, there is a plastic pipe outside on the neighbours ginnel side which is trickling water out. Looks like the water tank is overflowing into this pipe (doing what it’s there for) now there is a toilet like ball cock in there which must be where the fault is...

Also, the pipe to the rad is slightly warm

Hi, The boiler is firing up and you can see the flame through the little peep hole but no hot water or heating, we have a storage tank upstairs. Anything I can check before I give up on the old girl please?

Hiya, I want to build a surround around my log burner where the paving slabs meet the laminate flooring (expansion gap). I want a length of 2 by 2 or 50mm in old money, but I can't find anything online or Amazon etc, I don't have the car this week hence the online order. Can anyone help me out...

Hi, We have an internal washroom that has a washer and dryer in it (dryer on top of washing machine), we used to have a condensing dryer but it took ages so I bought a vented model. My rationale behind this was we have an extractor fan in this room which I removed and isolated and then...

Are these taps a standard size?

Evening, We have an old Ideal standard FF with a large water tank upstairs. I can’t put the heating on without the hot water being on so I was thinking. I think I understand that when you put the CH on (with the water of course) the radiator water pipes run through the tank and heat up the rad...

Hello, Our front living room has an open staircase leading to the bedrooms and a bathroom, the hall upstairs runs parallel to the stairs. We get a lot of heat escaping upstairs and the room takes a while to heat up. We can’t fit a door or build a wall so looking for simple solutions please...
