…but boiler stays off

thermostat asking for heat…

Hoping someone familiar with Vokera controls and boilers can help. I have a Vokera Mynute i20 gas boiler and recently noticed that some of the time the room thermostat is calling for heat but the boiler doesn't come on. It doesn't happen all the time just intermittently, any idea what the...

That’s what I was hoping for but they offered enough compensation for us to just let them finish it quick the way it is.

The gap at the top of the window, see my other post for full details ( Post in thread 'Architect’s Outline Specification - how closely does this need to be followed?'...

Just looking for some advice on insulation. My gut feeling is that wool would be better than rigid foam when insulating a tight space as the foam would have to be cut to size and any gaps would severely compromise its insulating properties. Is this right or am I missing something? Just wondering...

Thanks, similar to my own thought process on this. Yes a contract was agreed at the beginning and we specifically asked for a floor to ceiling window. I’m employing the architect as I think legally they can’t work for the builder (although the builder arranged this and has worked with the...

They plan to jack up the roof, replace with steel at correct angle and order a new window. The vertical beams will need to be extended with new steel welded on. Suggested roof would need to be redone. That’s all the detail I’ve been able to get at this stage.

Looking for some more advice on this as it seems they will actually be correcting the problem. What things should we be paying attention to as they do this?

Hi, had a look inside G4 Accenta/Optima panel and found all the blue tamper wires twisted together in one terminal and all the whites twisted together in the other? I thought they are meant to be wired in series. Has the builder Balfour Beatty wired it wrong? Also is the tamper circuit supposed...

Interesting thing is that they put me in touch with the architect as they do a lot of work together (and the architect gave me a discount as part of this arrangement), but they then blamed the architect and the structural engineer when I asked them why the steel couldn’t be at the same angle as...

Thanks for all the replies, I won’t get the dynamite out just yet! I’ve paid about 83% of the total cost of £36,000 at the moment which I think is approximately equal to the work done so far. I guess this leaves a number of scenarios: 1.They don’t show up at all, which means I need to get...

Here’s a clearer picture of the steel itself and the structural engineer’s drawing (architect’s also shows windows going to ceiling).

A whole new, but closely related problem has now come up so looking for some advice on this. I’ve attached some pictures, one showing roughly what we were looking for and two showing what we have got. You can clearly see that the structural steel is at a different angle from the roof and this...

Thank for the replies, yes I realise now that the cable could just go into a hole but that wouldn't look as good as having some kind of accessory.

Hi, Just want to know if a fused switched spur with flex outlet (similar to this - https://www.toolstation.com/click-mode-13a-fused-spur/p18434? ) can be used with the flex outlet as an inlet? I plan to power a CCTV camera that will be outdoors by drilling straight through the wall and fitting...

Thanks, interestingly the Architect’s drawings show 120 mm boards but his spec says 150 mm.

Hi, just looking for some advice on something. I’m getting a sunroom/extension built at the back of my house and noticed the builders are using 120 mm thick Kingspan floor insulation boards (TP10/TF70/TW55) whilst the Architect’s Outline Specification states that it should be 150 mm thick...

Hi, looking for some help, I have a Bosch Classix 7 tumble dryer model WTE84106GB/48 and recently I noticed that no condensate is being collected in the drawer. Otherwise it appears to work but presumably isn’t drying as quickly or as efficiently as before. The dryer is almost 5 years old now...

Hi, looking for some advice. It's not really DIY as I'm getting someone else to do it but was wondering if anyone has experience with triple glazing and the benefits/drawbacks of it. My whole house is currently triple glazed and I'm planning to get a 3x4 m sunroom built (2 sides glass/bifold...
