The pressure reducing valve black arrow is at 0.6 bar and the red arrow is at 1.2 bar.

For the last week or so there has been water dripping through the tundish in the airing cupboard. The water exits out a pipe to the rear of the house. Is this normal behaviour for this time of year when the weather is warm and the central heating is not on? I'd be really grateful if anyone...

The button arrived today - only ordered it yesterday! Fitted and working 2 minute job. Thanks again for the advice.

Cheers John. Will do. New button ordered should arrive next day or so. Appreciate the advice.

Seem to be readily available. The replacements have a screw in fitting - I presume the white square part at the top of mine simply screws in to the main fixing? http://www.cisternfittings.co.uk/siamp-optima-cersanit-49-dual-push-button-cf1030-102-p.asp...

Cheers John It's a Siamp for certain - just had a closer look and I can see the Siamp wording on the side which you mentioned plus there is a grey lever on the side - see photos below. I think I would prefer to just replace the push button if possible rather than dismantle the whole thing and...

Cheers. For that price I'll replace the whole thing. Are there any gotchas to be aware of? The current button/mechanism is a FlushWise.

Hi all. The push button flushing mechanism on the top of one of our toilets has broken and I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to replace it? Are these things universal fitting? Presumably its possible to just replace the button mechanism rather than the whole flushing...

The programmer is still under warranty, so if the system plays up again I will switch the programmer for a new one and see if that makes any difference. Thanks v. much for the replies.

On two occasions now (Monday this week AM and PM and again today) we noticed that our boiler was on when it shouldn't have been. Wondered if anyone could shed any light on what might be causing the problem? I noted down everything that I could: 1. The boiler fires up outside the times set on...

Great stuff thanks very much

I've lifted some slabs up at the bottom of the garden where I'm planning on laying turf to extend the lawn. Underneath the slabs is what I would describe as darkish sand. I dug down about half a foot and it seems to be the same stuff. Will turf grow on this? I was thinking about getting a...

Thanks TeaTime I've not purchased anything yet. I want to leave the waste pipe where it is - i.e. coming up out of the floor. Will a P-trap work with this? Once I've bought the bits I'll post more info. Thanks again.

I'm planning on replacing the basin in our downstairs toilet within the next couple of months. It's a bit small so going to upgrade it to a slightly larger cloakroom basin. I also want to fit a single mixer tap rather than a separate hot and cold tap. Fixing the basin to the wall shouldn't...

Thanks very much for this. Very useful!

Hi all. We've just moved house and the central heating/hot water equipment in the airing cupboard is different to what we had before (previously we had a Gledhill Boilermate in the airing cupboard and a Glow Worm boiler in the garage. I was wondering if anyone could give me a basic...
