Thanks again for another very thorough reply. I’ve got the gist of what’s need now, Thanks.

Thanks again for all the advice and suggestions. Controlling my Fathers heating through a smartphone, I don’t think it’ll be practical but thanks for the suggestion; also, my Fathers house doesn’t have a WIFi broadband connection. Also, these wireless TRVs, I assume they can’t be locked to a...

Although I’m no longer a fan of smartphone apps; I assume a WiFi connection is required for the smartphone wireless thermostat but is a WiFi connection also required for a wireless room stat to communicate with the boiler? Also, I knew wireless room stat can be affixed to the wall; another post...

Thanks for all the additional advice and recommendations. Wireless TRVs on the radiators linked to room stat & boiler sounds good, although a mobile App won’t be suitable for my Father, he still can’t get to grips with the Tv remote, he also has Dementia; also, I’m mistrusting of apps myself...

Flameport..... Thanks for your very thorough reply. Yeah, I knew the TRVs are mechanical and not physical connected to the boiler; they all appear to operate correctly but when turned to heat setting 2, this turns the radiators off completely; and it’s the radiator in my Fathers bathroom which...

Is that a separate room thermostat that’s been a requirement or does the Heating Dial on the front of the boiler meet that requirement ? First time I’ve noticed this but the radiators have remained off this evening. I initially thought the radiators where remaining fed even though my Father...

Worcester Greenstar 25Si Mk IV Since its installation 5 years ago; whenever the weather is hot, such as it is now, my Father turns the Heating Temp dial down to the Snowflake symbol, believing this is the lowest setting but the radiators remain hot all the time. He doesn’t use the timer, as...

Yeah, that’s the one, I remember the photo.... good to know its name, thanks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronan_Point

Thanks

Yeah, I believe there was a serious gas explosion in a high rise flat during the 60’s or maybe earlier, which caused the change. When I lived in an all electric high rise flat in the 90’s, it still had an old gas meter, although disconnected. I thought you was saying that Councils & Hs’ing Ass...

Yeah, landlord’s a pain, does the bare minimum. I would of thought, Councils & Housing Ass flats are becoming all electric due to liability & Gas Safety Inspections + the possible increase of tenants by-passing gas meters, risk of explosions affecting multiple properties, rather than because of...

Not sure when fire was last inspected, it’s a private rented property and the Landlord normally organises Gas Safety Inspection. I’ve vacuumed around the pilot light assembly and it’s now operating as it should. Thanks for the replies.

I thought the whole idea of Gas Safety Cut off valves, was to prevent un-lit gas from emitting. The gas fire Pilot light has ignited and the Thermocouple is heated sufficiently to allow gas through but pilot flame is not reaching the burner ? The pilot light assembly has an L shape channel...

Yeah, clippers had built in battery

I’m not complaining about anything.... both drill batteries served me well. I’ve only ever owned two rechargeable/cordless tools... the drill & hair clippers. My initial question regarding rechargeable garden Strimmer was..... would long periods of no use and not recharging, especially...

I don’t expect Rechargeable batteries to last for ever. Yeah, my cordless drill was old and batteries failing to charge was probably partly due to age but the cordless hair clippers was new.

Thanks for your response. I only updated thread as I found new info. I’ve only experienced such issues with a cordless drill and hair clippers, both old technology rechargeable type batteries, NiCads, I assume. Both devices, with their batteries were kept indoors & within a warm central...

Yeah, I noticed that when taking photos and although it feels loose, that’s as far as it will go in without forcing it.
