    noises after drain and refill

    :) Fingers firmly crossed, but I may have success..... Seemed like the pump would only start working after the boiler had tripped out, so played around with water and CH to get them on at the same time. A q on the pump: I'm assuming mine is working okay as the pipes are hot both above...

    So, boilet temp down, central heating temp up, ill give that a bash. The pump seems to be wirring so I assume its working. Prior to me draining the system, it was all working okay. Though after the last lock out the pump was very warm to touch, under normal operating conditions are they...

    I have bled the pump a couple of times now and after each bleeding I have attempted to turn on the hot water. On each occassion, the boiler ignites and cranks up in its usual fashion, then after about 60 seconds a couple of bangs are heard and the boiler locks out. So... (1) Is this the...

    Mosaic tiles: Drilling into grout to attach accessories

    Hi all, Having read my Readers Digest Bible and followed the advice to drill inbetween the (mosaic) tiles into the grout to fix towel rail, etc, I have encountered my first problem/question.... The gap between the tiles is narrower than the width of hole required, so I will need to drill...

    Mosaic tiles: Difficulty, cost...

    OK, so got a quote... Bearing in mind, the area to be tiled is actually 4.5m.sq. in a downstairs toilet. New walls. Mosaic tiles, excl materials. The tiler estimated it at 3 days work, ~ £420. :shock: Is this a reasonable quote? Thinking of flogging the newborn to cover it...

    Mosaic tiles: Difficulty, cost...

    Morning all, Some questions regarding mosaic tiling for beginners which I haven't been able to find elsewhere: Are the mosaic tiles harder to put up than normal tiles? I was informed they move round a bit more, I thought they may be easier given the ease of cutting.... Does each sheet...

    Vent-Axia extractor fan questions

    Thanks guys. The loft is converted and this fan sits in the bathroom in the converted loft, so the roof it runs through is, say, 2 foot thick before it hits the outside. What is the approx cost in your opinion? Do you think this is what caused the fan to stop working? Wouldnt suprise...
