i didnt have a bad day until i read DP's post, if i have misread the tone or point he was trying to put across i apologise to him and anyone else who took offence, email is never the best medium for trying to grasp someone's point of view. My understanding of central heating was...

now i'm scared :shock: last thing i want is some chav running around my home when i am in bed, i know someone can break in no matter what measures you take, but i didnt realise it could be done so quickly, i had looked into wooden doors, but i couldnt find anyone near me and to be honest i...

The problem with the £1800 quote is that it was so much lower than the other 2, so i got a bit suspicious after i had received the other 2 quotes, so you reckon for the work involved that around £1800 is enough? Thanks Garya

excuse me mate, but the boiler gets serviced at the manufacturers recommended interval. if the boiler hasn't been serviced 'properly' then i'm afraid that's down to one of your colleagues, i am not able to QA the work the engineer has done after he has done it and charged me a stupid fee...

Hi guys, I would like your opinion on a quote i received for a new PVC rear door, its like the one shown but without the blue glass, also included in the quote is a toplight with a rose in stained glass and fitting. I was quoted £780, does this seem competitive or is it too much?

chrisr, like the edit above "Fair probablility of it being". i think it sounds like this is a job for someone who spent the time to study this area of expertise, i stupidly did an IT degree...boy were my parents wrong when they were telling me to go to university, i should have been a...

chrisr, thanks very much for that, is that front seal something i can replace myself without seeking a qualified engineer. if so is it simply a case of switching off the boiler and removing it like a regular screw? thanks again garya

Hi guys, I have yet another problem with this boiler of mine, it has now developed a leak, only when the hot water is being called for though (hot tap on, shower on etc), when cold water is used there is no leak. Below is a picture of where the leak is coming from, it is coming from...

ah, i had taken that off and seen something hexagonal but i didnt think that was it, i had a picture of a screw in my head and dismissed the fact it may have a hex head, thanks for the advice, i will give that a go, cheers

Hi all, I have a leaking mixer tap in the kitchen (just in time to ruin my bank holiday). The problem is i cant find how to remove the tap from the body to even comtemplate changing o-rings etc, i keep reading about nuts needing to be unscrewed, but i cant seem to see one on this tap...

thanks mate.

thanks for the reply danro, yes, its the protruding bit at the back of the cast iron fireplace which is higher and wider than the hole currently in the wall, its just 2-3 inches too high and too wide, so i wouldnt need to be removing a lot of brick. i cant see whether or not there is a...

I recently had a corgi reg'd fitter remove and cap off an old gas fire in my dining room, i am now looking to fit a decorative cast iron repro fireplace in its place. The problem i have is that the fireplace i wish to buy needs a bigger hole that what is currently there, the hole is deep...

sorry guys, i am a bit confused, softus when you say valve are you referring to the TRV or the pressure release valve? is there nothing on the boiler i can adjust to stop the drip from the hose outside the house?
