OK, I didn't know the head had been removed. I'm sure if this is the case, BAXI won't even look at the boiler. I have no idea who took the head off. My plumber said there was a faulty valve and the circuit board is faulty. I believe he said that I should change it for a combi because of the...

Yes it is. I think I will have to drive down tomorrow and arrange for a couple of local engineers to come out and give their opinion if baxi can't fix it tomorrow. If the fault is nothing to do with the boiler, Baxi won't touch anything on the system. At the moment, I honestly don't think...

Originally, I had baxi go out to fix the boiler on a repair and protect contract. They came out and said the fault was the pump, it was leaking and it isn't covered. So I sent in my own plumber and he replaced the pump. Baxi are due out again tomorrow. Obviously, I need another opinion but...

Are you saying its probable the boiler isn't working because there is a fault with the valve and relay?

The shower over the bath runs off of the storage tank. Its not an electric shower. I have owned the house for 7 years and not had a problem with the boiler or tank previously. Why do you think there has been a problem with the cold feed? Can the head of the mid position valve be easily...

OK - I'm colour blind - its green. So, is it OK to simply swap it for exactly the same boiler - a baxi solo 2. Or do I have other options that don't involve external pipework. What would be best for the tenant please?

OK. I thought it was an immersion heater, but the plumber said it isn't. He said it's just a storage tank. The tank is like a yellowish sort of colour. I think its a normal copper tank with a coating over it. I really don't like the thought of outside pipework - to me it would look scruffy...

I don't live there. It's my rental property. And a husband and wife live there. It is a one shower/bathroom house. I didn't decide a combi was the best. The plumber told me that I should upgrade to a combi.

Any idea what my options would be? Its all well and good getting in another installer but they can tell me all sorts, hence asking for advice here. This link shows the little house - the more I look at it, I really don't want pipework running out the external wall :eek...

Hi This is a follow on to my earlier question regarding the baxi boiler. The house is a one bedroom starter house and it's very small. Currently the boiler is located in the kitchen in a floor based kitchen cupboard. It is a conventional boiler. On the external wall there is a guard -...

Hello I have a small baxi boiler mounted in a small 1 bedroom house. There is a thermostat in the living room but for some reason it does not work. There are TRV's on all the rads, apart from the boiler. This radiator seems to stay on all the time (I think it is something to do with...

Thank you. Yes, I will be haviny the windows changed and when it comes to the cills, I guess those raised black tiles can be knocked off.

Thanks. I understand the walls will need vertically battening, but becuase of the lumpy raised rendering, I can't work out how the final appearance of the cladding will look right. Is it possible to get put battening up and still get the desired effect when the wall behind the battening is not...

Are you saying you would re-clad it rather than paint it if you got fed up with the colour? I've just posted another thread on cladding - if you have experience of the products, would you mind giving your opinion on my other thread? Txs

Hi I'm looking at having the whole of my house cladded. At the moment about 3/4 is a sorted of pebbled painted render and below that, the bottom of the house is flush brick work (pic attached). I havent had any builders round to quote yet so I dont even know if is possible. Is there a method...

Thank you.

Does anyone have an idea of the cost to buy the concrete woodgrain effect coloured cladding. I've googled but I can't find any prices. Also, how do you calculate how much you need? The cladding will have an overlap to look shiplap.

OK lovely thank you. I started drilling only to find the plaster was dot and dab so I need to get different fixings! I did try but have given up today!

Hi At the moment, I can't even get a straight line to mark out the fixings. I do actually have both types of drills - just don't know how to use them properly lol. I want to mount the blind above the window. The window measures 103cms inside the recess. Blind is 120cm. I've measured...
