I thought a combi boiler is different from a condensing boiler? Hence why I mention I need a condensing boiler NOT a combi. As I understand it, a combi just heats water as it passes thru the boiler but a condening uses heat exchanger to capture waste/exhaust heat and condense this into...

Guys, this is getting silly. I do trust my plumber, and I have had two independant pluimbers both giving quotes of £2500 and £2800 to install a Worcester bosch condenser boiler (as oppose to a combi which is not sufficient for my house which is large - Plumbers words not mine). All I am...

The search function is sh1t !! All it does is bring up some article about condenser boiler water outlets freezing and everything else is about 5 years ago. I would get more joy asking my plumber! I was hoping for some independant advice but that is beyond the scope of you guys...

Eh?!! Who the **** are Ideal? Didn't they make the evel knieval stunt bike in the 80's? So glad I found this friendly and helpful forum......

I would expect that gas safe plumbers/boiler installers here would have no hesitation in suggesting a few decent quality boiler manufacturers. Must be a bit difficult for you to give friendly advice to the general public. Keep the knowledge between yourselves eh lads......... I didn't ask...

Gee, thanks. Worcester Bosch it is then.

Can any experts out there recommend the top condenser boiler manufacturers and typical prices? I have heard good things about Valliant? Any others House is 3 bed with a loft conversion, so 4 beds and 2 bathrooms. Many thanks :D

Slightly worried now as I got back from work to find the Mrs has scraped hald the artex of the ceiling and she is not wearing a mask !!! The house was built in 1963 and I know that this type of house had smooth ceilings throughot when they were constructed by Messrs Gough Cooper (Maiden...

Guys, I need to get my bathroom ceiling repaired, and I will be paying a plasterer to do the work, but I need some advice please. (apologies for this, I know nothing about DIY so please go easy !) Our upstairs b/room ceiling has two old light fittings in the ceiling, and both of these...

Can the OP please advise whether he rectified the problem or not as I may purchase the yale wireless system in the near future. I am curious to know if the problem got fixed ! Many thanks :D

I will climb the ladder tomorrow guys and photograph the external bell box with the cover off. Hopefully the battery will be there for all to see. I sure do hope its not permanent live mains running to box.

Guys, when I cut the cables in error the external bell/siren would not switch off even when I disconnected the battery from inside the ctrl panel and then I isolated the mains by switching off the double pole RCD and normal on/off MCBs on my C/U. The external sounder was still going off at...

Time to mothball it then I think. It is an old system, and you can buy I wireless alarm systems these days. We hardly ever use the alarm anyway and since we had our front door changed there is no longer an entry/exit magnetic contact. Shame beacuse the previous owner must have spent a...

Many thanks for the reply. I am unable to identify which zone connects to which cable because of the location of where the cables come into the loft space. Could I not try and guess it by connecting cable #1 from the control box to one of the 4 cut ends, and by process of elimination...

Hello everyone, this is my first post so please go easy !! I had to cut some low voltage alarms cables in my loft today to reroute them and extend them due to a loft conversion. I made the fatal mistake of cutting the cables that go off to various circuits before I labelled them (DOH...
