I moved into a new build detached property in January. Our neighbour's garden is a meter or so higher than our garden and is separated by a brick retaining wall. I have noticed that the bottom of the wall is permanently damp even though there has been no rain for weeks now. The soil is clay...

Many thanks again. I've managed to sort the room stat - there are no batteries but after reading and re-reading the user guide I seem to have sorted the display. What a performance! Also reduced the temperatures on both the boiler and cylinder stat to 60°. I've ordered a neohub. That's all...

Thanks to all. I will leave the UH8 well alone! Just looked in the Glowworm user guide and it says the boiler factory setting is 75°C! I will try turning it down to 60° also the domestic hot water cylinder stat down to 60°. One other thing: I had to reset the clocks on all of the Heatmiser...

I have recently moved to a new build house with underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the first floor. The bedroom rads have a timer and there is a separate timer for the towel rails. The UF heating is controlled by individual Heatmiser V2 stats which are connected to a...

Yes, it is, but I don't think it's flexible enough to be able to turn it through 90° as sharply as I'll need to. There's going to be a righthand bend just below the paving slabs which I think will be too sharp for normal water pipe. I was hoping for something that is considerably more...

I have an external tap on the back wall of my house and I want to T off it to take a supply to another location. There is a recently installed expensive path underneath the tap which I am reluctant to lift. I propose to use a core drill to drill on oversized hole immediately below the tap...

Great. Thank you

I have two groups of downlighters in my kitchen. At the room entrance there is a two way switch to the nearest group. At the far end of the kitchen is the other two way switch plus a single switch to the second group. I would like to install a two way switch to the second group but the new...

The door itself is damaged but fortunately I can get a replacement. Thanks for feedback Regards

I don't think so. I'm trying to replace just the handle as it's obviously cheaper that replacing the whole door but some years ago I did actually replace the door, which came complete with the handle. Although the website 4ourhouse.co.uk claim to have identified the replacement part I'm not...

Started to remove the door seal but can't see any obvious way of 'splitting' the door. Will try to contact electrolux who are/were the manufacturer's of Kuppersbusch. Thanks for your help. Regards

You were on the right track. There's a tiny, recessed, button that has to be pressed in under the bottom hinge then the door can be removed. Now I need to figure out how to separate the door so that I can fit the replcaement handle. The door is a typical construction - two plastic outer...

I have an old Kuppersbusch integrated fridge freezer (I believe Kuppersbusch shares many parts with Electrolux and AEG machines). The model number is 923 840 736. I need to replace the door handle to the freezer (evaporator?) compartment and an online supplier 4ourhouse.co.uk can supply a...

Fair point. Cheers.

Thanks Muggles. Nice to know I can figure something out even if it's not the answer alI wanted! I had in mind that a frost stat was to prevent burst pipes which would occur at around freezing which us very much lower than the Heatmiser frost trigger of 14°C. I believe there's an option to...

I own a rental property with Heatmiser thermostats controlling the underfloor heating. I am seldom.at the flat - I'm there now between tenancies for few days - so am not familiar with the Heatmiser thermostats. I want to turn off the underfloor heating completely for the summer (it was left on...

Reply from Vent-Axia: "Have you tried adjusting the humidity sensor to make it less sensitive as this may be the reason the unit is boosting at night? Please see attached instructions which show where the humidity adjuster is positioned in the unit, to make the humidity sensor less sensitive...

Thank you

John D - yes, I believe it is a constant extraction system. That is how it was described by the builder when I bought the flat 7 years ago. The flat is a rental property and I'm only staying here between lets so have only just become aware of the noise. Muggles - I've looked on the VA website...

It'll only be turned off overnight so condensation shouldn't be a problem bearing mind the vent ducts are only in the bathrooms and kitchen!
