has anyone touched the gas isolator on the gas pipe under the boiler?

Yes - quite a few things to trip you up. Before you dismantle have a look at http://www.mytoiletspares.co.uk/toilet-cistern-push-buttonschrome-push-buttonsdual-flush-buttonssingle-flush-buttons-142-c.asp and see if you can match it up...

That looks like a siamp flush valve. Can you see a makers name to confirm this? If so, a replacement button can be purchased or an entire valve for less than 30 quid.

Have you pressed the reset button to try and clear the fault?

Looks like a fluidmaster inlet valve. Get a new diaphragm washer for it from b and q for about three quid.

In that case why are you in this position now? Had you used the correct tool the first time you took the plate out, then you would not have had a problem this time around. Don't blame the manufacturer and the quality of the screw. Get a screw extractor on what remains of the head and have...

Danger UXB

Time to get an RGI in. You have checked the obvious.

Can you see or hear a spark trying to light the pilot?

Without knowing your future plans and seeing the house it is hard to offer precise advice...but in general The Viessmann compact is a great boiler but the heat exchanger likes to pick up filth. I suggest you have a decent powerflush and fit a magnetic filter on the return. I would also...

You thinking of Auditioning Jeff? As the emergency plumber? It's not that type of movie, sock boy. Sorry.

Exactly. Plasterer would have presented plumber's bill if events had been as he described. You need to write to him and set out your reasons for not agreeing with his version of events. And then ask him to make good the damages to your property. Then if he does not respond, you may want to...

Precisely. If that valve had been going like a fountain for any length of time then ceilings would be down and the place would be properly trashed. Damage would be centred on te radiator no the middle of the room. Plasterer needs to improve his storytelling skills and invest in a jubilee...

Yep. I am thinking that he had a hose up to that room and he had a balls up.

Did he give you a bill for the plumber who attended?

Vaillant is not the brand it used to be. Brutal and relentless cost-cutting has seen quality drop down several notches. Prices remain high. I used to fit nothing else but have not fitted a single one now for about four years. Baxi Duotec is sound. Mr centralheating is good too. Who is...

Are those the fitted prices on the boiler, George? Bargain if they are but a bit steep if the fitting is extra. Your solo was a heat only boiler and you are asking about combi boilers. Presumably you are converting to a combi? Potterton Titanium gets my vote because it is identical and...

consider using a bath filler combined into the overflow rather than deck mounted taps. for example http://www.tapstore.com/wastes-traps/bath-overflow-filler/roper-rhodes-smartflow-bath-overflow-filler.html

it will be a baxi solo that has failed. they need careful servicing to last longer than five years which you don't get on a contract. homeswerve are swines and you are best off putting the premiums into a savings account and getting a local independent in to do both your landlords...
