I will do, but I came on here first to see what solutions are about before calling someone in. So that way I have a better understanding just in case I get someone else suggesting a dumb solution.

Thanks. I phoned my local gas safe registered engineer who installed the boiler and these were his words.... "All I can do is open all your doors and windows, disconnect the pipe to the boiler, put a carrier bag over the end of the pipe and turn the gas on full, see if anything come out"...

Is there such thing as a gas pipe unblocking service? Long story short I have a blockage somewhere between my gas meter and my boiler. 60% of the pipeline is the original old mild steel and then it T's off to 22mm which is then later reduced to 15mm at the boiler. By process of...

Vaillant engineer came yesterday. Turns out there is a blockage somewhere in the pipe between the meter and the boiler. He could not be 100% certain that this was the cause, but considering the pressure drops from 22 down to 5 when the boiler fires up, and it should go no lower than...

Thanks. I thought that at first as we had not tested the shower apart from a leak check, but I ran the tap when she had finished and the temperature was low from that. Also I had a quick shower before her and mine was fine. I am new to combi boilers, but was under the impression they give...

Before I go and call an engineer… Had the combi boiler installed around this time last year and all seemed to work fine but we only actually moved into the house this weekend as a result of taking a year renovate it, so never really tested the system properly with a bath or shower, only the...

Thanks. I've only ever needed a multi meter up until now, but think I may invest in one of those.

Sorry for slow reply, didn't get chance to check the forum over weekend. The main fuse box has 2 fuses for 2 separate heaters, and as the other heater is working I trust that the unit is ok - but please advise me if I should not assume that. The old switch was a normal DP switch without a...

Storage heater stopped working a few weeks ago. When I dismantled it I noticed the link fuse had gone, so I replaced it, but still did not work. I disconnected the heater from the switch and attached a plug to connect to normal circuit. Plugged it in for a few minutes and it got warm. I used...

Sorry to respark an old thread but this sounds very similar to an issue I'm having and I figured it may save creating a new one. My link fuse had literally melted. I replaced it but still no luck. Did you ever find a solution?

Thanks very much. I assumed the rope method was rather out dated, I just didn't want to start cutting pipe and damage anything further, but I already have the rubber sleeve for joining them so may as well give it a bash.

When replacing my soil stack I noticed the 90' bend was broken so I dug it out and have since sourced a new one. The old joint was sealed with rope and the filled with compound at a 45' angle, the same as illustrated in this picture. http://www.pavingexpert.com/images/drainage/drn026.gif...

Laid lots of laminate flooring before but this is the first time I have used real wood top layered flooring, and also the first time I have laid onto concrete. I normally use the foam but was advised to use fibre board this time. Never used it before so any advice is welcome. I assume I have...

Victoria Plumb are useless. I've had two issues with them and neither they have been able to help me on. Cheap prices = cheap made products and cheap service. Anyway... ignore the scruffy battens I used but here is what I did in the end and it works perfectly. Brackets used were from screwfix...
