I do have an unused tumble dryer vent that i do think is a problem. Can't get access to it from inside though due to built in kitchen units

Boiler itself is a 3 year old Worcester so should ok, pipework and taps not so good and am thinking about replacing them but my feeling is they're not the big culprit here

GCH, piped in old microbore sp not ideal, I have it balanced so most flow goes to living room. Coldest room in the house is the kitchen (cold to the point it feels like outside) and to be fair the radiator in there is in a terrible position and blocked by tumble dryer, so there are some less...

Cavity wall insulation apparently been done and it does look like theres holes in the roughcast (at the back anyway) I have wondered about underfloor insulation though, I have laminate flooring which I got put in when I 1st bought the house, I suspect it may not be the best insulation under it

As the title says, my house loses heat at a stupidly fast rate, we can have the heating on and the house warm but as soon as the heating goes off the temperature just decreases quite rapidly. It mainly affects downstairs, my kitchen and hall in particular never heat up. This is my 5th winter...

Cheers mate, I'll give it a go. So basically put on a thin layer, wait a few hours to dry and then repeat until filled and sand down at the end?

As the title says, I'm right about to put my house on the market and my toddler decided to rip the baby gate off the stairs. The problem I've got is it's right as you come in the front door so very noticeable. Any particular product recommended that could use for this patch (maybe 2 inch...

Sorry for late reply on this, I must have missed the notification of your comment. I can't be certain how open it is I'm comparison to be honest as the plumber isolated and opened. The banging is quite concerning, I'm going to try and sort it over the weekend, any practical tips on how to go...

I suppose I could do a continuity test between dryer shell and earth pin of plug?

I'm just wondering peoples thoughts on this as I have no idea how thick the insulation generally is on these cables. Today I had to move the tumble dryer (to get access to washing machine which has a pump fault - one of those days) and noticed that the power cable has been crushed in 2 places...

My house used to have some issues with banging pipes but it seemed to be resolved and had been fine for last few years. A few weeks back I got an outside tap fitted which required the mains stop cock to be isolated then obviously opened again. We noticed straight away a couple of issues, one...

Cheers man, I sort of suspected that would be the case wanted to check

Hi all, sorry if this is a daft question. I recently had a garden tap installed. It's actually the 1st time I've ever had one hence the following question. 1st off the tap installed is one of those kits, it's actually a bit cheap and cheerful, basically it's a garden hose type tube that goes...

Hi. Yeah unfortunately in the short term an outside tap isn't really an option so need to find a way to convert the kitchen for use

Hi all Tried to use a new pressure washer today but had an absolute disaster and soaked the kitchen. Basically I have one of those sink mixer taps. I can unscrew the big outlet and it leaves a female threaded end (maybe around M10?) I tried to use a compression jubilee hose connection today but...

Ok cheers, I'm pretty certain that they completely cut away the supply to the water tank so there certainly shouldn't be any water going to it at least

Hi, have a combi now. Old hot water cylinder removed and water tank isolated. I think there's a fairly decent chance the 3 pipes are related to the old cylinder. I found this old photo on my phone and it shows some pipework going in that vicinity, can't be absolutely certain tho

Hi Andy It's possible, I'll need to get up after work to check. It's an old asbestos tank, I absolutely hate touching it! It's *possible* the pipe work was related to the hot water cylinder that used to be in there (cold water supply, hot water from cylinder and a vent?) My loft gets extremely...

Hi all About a month or so my wife put some canvases in my boiler cupboard for storage. She went to take them out today and noticed a dirty green residue on them Looking at the cupboard there is an old unused (and cut) pipe above where they were kept. Looking at this pipe it looks like...

Thanks, does that also makeeit watertight?
