thanks for the reply. It turns out that I made a mistake when I disconnected my current timer. The cable that connects my old drayton timer to the boiler has 5 wires - live,neutral,earth and 1 for an LS & LR connection. Apparently this LS & LR connections are needed for the boiler to operate...

hi, I have a worcester bosch combi boiler which feeds my radiators in the house. the radiators have trv's on them. The problem is that I dont think that I am getting the best heat from my radiators. The system was fitted about 2 years ago (before I moved in) and the invoice for the work...

it cant be that far from the fuse box as Im only in a bungalow and my fuse box itself is probably about 2m from the shower. Im not 100% sure how thick the shower cable is but I will look and find out Is it easy enough to change the cable? Thanks

Ps the lights dont actually flicker - they dim and stay dimmed until I turn the water off.

yeah I meant the neon light is always on - cool Ill have a look at that. Thanks so you think that the lights dimming is ok? I dont have anything to worry about with the dimming then? would a less powerful shower make a difference?

PS Apologies if this isnt the correct forum - it seems the most relevant

guys, I live in a 1930s bungalow with raised floors. I noticed that under the floorboards of two of my rooms that the ground was covered in a tar like substance. Someone has mentioned to me that this is a damp treatment, but I dont understand why it would only be in 2 rooms (bedroom &...

hi, I have an electric shower installed in my house (fitted before I moved in) and when I have two issues with it : 1) the light on the main power switch to the shower is always lit, even if the shower is off. Is this serious? anyone know why it does this? 2) when I turn the actual...

Hi, Im planning on putting a solid fuel fire into my bungalow and have someone coming out to check that my existing flue is suitable for a solid fuel fire Can anyone give me any advice on this please? I know nothing about it and I dont want ripped off. At the minute I have a living...

guys, just to let you all know that I opted to use some netting (netline or netlon I think its called) and glass wool. I just cut the glass wool to a size that squeezes in between the joists and then stapled the netting on after I had finished putting the wool up wasnt much fun, but...

the bubble stuff is equivalent to 50mm polystyrene though - surely that should stop most draughts? Im not going to be stapling it to the floorboards like I originally said, I will be stapling it to the underside of my joists so that I have an air gap (about 200mm in my case) - will that make...

Hi, I am going to be insulating underneath my floorboards on my ground floor. Once under there the space I have ranges from being in a crouched position to crawling (house is on a hill) I also have restricted access (unless I start pulling up floorboards - which im not going to) So my...

im talking about insulating under the floorboards though, I can get under my floors and I have a decent amount of space to move about I have a hatch that lets me get underneath, so I dont need to lift the floorboards the draft doesnt come through the stairs, but due to the way they are put...

but surely some under floor insulation would help too? I should also explain that the previous owners put in some rather rubbish stairs, the job wasnt finished very well and they have draughts at some bits - so the under floor insulation would sort that out a lot as there is parts that I cant...

Hi, I have recently moved out of my nice warm flat into a an older house which is a good bit colder! Anyway, I was wondering what the best thing to do regarding heat loss and draughts coming up from under my floor is? Basically my house has suspended floorboards which I can get...

ok thanks, Ill give that a try Thanks

is the pressure release valve the pipe that feeds outside? If so then I havent put anything over it - the weather has been nuts and wasnt much point. Although when I did inspect it, it was bone dry If the valve is under the boiler then I have towels and stuff there and they are all dry, so I...

CrazyAMonkey, I got someone out who works for british gas to look at my boiler and he couldnt find anything wrong with it either. He did get me to test the boiler though by turning off two feeds and the heating for 24 hours, but to still use the hot water during that time. I did that and...
