    Problems with new heating system

    Thank you for your reply. It is not from a scheme. It's a group of contractors to do the whole system. I got them to do the job, because they got very very good rating. They do heating jobs nationally. They can finish the job within 1 day. The water pressure gone down, but after my hubby...

    Problems with new heating system

    Hi all I had a new heating system in August this year. The team who did the job is very far away from home (Birmingham). Since it's done, the first problem is water pressure. It fall to about 0.8 and the system doesn't work. So my husband called them and they remote controlled my hubby to...

    Boiler comparison

    Thank you for all the suggestions. I will surely find out more. I'm looking for the overall cost and the reliability. Actually, overall cost is more important to me than reliability. Warranty is just one of the many contributing to the overall cost. It's countable. Life expectance is the...

    Boiler comparison

    No I can't do it myself. I didn't ask for advice from the engineer. He said they are more or less the same and the price depended on the brand (might be he means the same for him as a fitter). He didn't mention to me about the 5 year warranty. He said he works for the council and does these jobs...

    Boiler comparison

    Electric heating is a non-sense. Yes, Baxi seems to be not that reliable (from reviews). But the cost is a lot less than the other brand (so far I can see). What's the average life in years of a boiler? Say a Baxi would last 5 years with 5 year warranty. A Worcestor 7 year, 2 year warranty...

    Boiler comparison

    Hi Can any combi engineer help with this? I'm going to buy my first combi boiler and don't know which one I should buy. I was adviced to get at lease 28kHW boiler. I also want a timer. No need for themo. I think of the cost and reliability of the boiler. So I would consider any boiler...

    floor under laminated flooring

    Hi all I took the carpet up and found a hole at the hallway close to the front door, I guess it used to have a door mat there. Because I need to make the floor level before putting laminated flooring in, I filled the hole with cement+sand+paper. I used a long piece of wood to level it, so it...

    Texecom Veritas R8 - cut through wire

    The location of the cut section of the cable is under the carpet, and under a bed. I guess it's unlikely someone will pull or touch it. It would be great to know what the workman supposes to do before the work takes place. I will probably get igorned if I complain after I pay... Thank you...

    Texecom Veritas R8 - cut through wire

    What a expensive mistake! Because i don't know how to change the fuse, I spent 40 pounds for the 15 mins job. :shock: Yet, I don't know how they fix it, because they did it so quick!!! :? And I was sent to remove the furniture for them to view the cut wire. Any idea how they stop the alarm...

    Texecom Veritas R8 - cut through wire

    Hi all I cut through the alarm wire while i changed the carpet upstairs. The wire seems to go to one of the detectors. The wire has 6 colour little wires in it and a few 'cotton/firber'. Right after I cut the wire, the alarm went on. I use my password to stop it and then I re-connect the...

    do wall tiles stick on plaster board?

    As topic. I have put a bare plaster board up on the kitchen wall and the kitchen is going to be tiled. I wonder whether it is a must to have the plaster board skimmed. Can I tile on the plaster board directly? I know it's usually skimmed, would the tile fall off if I just tile on the plaster...
