Hi all, We have a few rads off the wall to allow a plasterer to do his stuff in our house. Today he accidentally opened a TRV and let a bit of water out (no big deal). As a result the pressure has dropped in our combi boiler to 0.3Bar. I went to top it up by opening the mains valve...

You were all correct! Despite it looking to me like the plaster was not in the way, it was. Not replacing, just adding another MCB on the left because I want a new socket directly below the CU for the freezer. Thanks all, Chris

Does anyone know if there is a trick to getting the lid off of these CU's? It is a Proteus CU with 4 screws in each corner. They do a quarter turn and each pop out but the lid still seems attached at the top some how. Any ideas? Many thanks, Chris

This isn't really an option because it is my next door neighbours garden. There must be something I can do.

Is there anything I can do to stop it?

The ground level is about half a meter above the floor level on the outside of that wall. It was covered in leaves which I have now cleared up. Now there is gravel up to the stone wall. The roof was covered in foliage which I have now removed but I don't think this was causing the issue...

Hi all, We moved into a house about 3 months ago and have a problem in an outbuilding. We have started to get damp and mould on one of the walls. This outbuiding is used to teach music and so gets used most days for around 4 hours and we have electric heater in there. There are some...

Yes the phone is a DTMF phone and yes it makes the relevent tone noises when you push the keys. I can only assume it is a fault with the vocaliser. I was hoping it would turn out to be a common fault but I guess not.

Thanks sparkymarka. I did try pressing # but still no joy. I can hear a small amount of static but that's it. It doesn't say please enter code. It doesn't say anything. :cry:

Hi all, We have moved into a house which has a burglar alarm and a Pyronix Vocaliser which will call a number if the alarm goes off. We have the operational manuals for both units. The alarm works but the vocaliser does not! According to the manual you plug a phone into the 'service'...

Just had a plasterer around who said he will skim over the top of woodchip. Is this a good idea? Cheers, Chris

Hi all, We have moved into a house and I got the chimney swept. The chimney sweep said that it needed to be lined at a cost of £1000 and he couldn't do it till after Christmas. I got someone else in and they said they would do it but it would not need doing! I bought some smoke...
