If I went the Combi route then it would be going in the airing cupboard where the existing cylinder is - this is right next to the soil stack so the drain for it could be inside. Not enough room for a cylinder and boiler in the cupboard though.

One of the annoying things about the normal boiler is we would be replacing it in the same location and there is no way of draining it inside so it would need to have an insulated external drain on the end of the house which is a walkway through to the backs of all the gardens round me.

Its come to that time when the boiler is due a change (over 30 year old Fuelsaver 30F). I've had the first company round for quotes (2 more due) but still not sure which way i should be going. House is 3 bedroom / 1 bathroom / 8 radiator (1 double in livingroom) with an existing Open Vent...

Always worth giving Samsung a ring with this problem. My parents had exactly the same problem and without even an argument they agreed to come out and fix it FOC - was around 3 years old so well and truely out of warranty

Thanks for the comments. Having stripped the main side wall next to the bath I think i am definately going to have to go the route of MRPB and tile backer board. Not exactly what I planned but would rather get it done so it lasts than use the wrong stuff and find the large expensive tiles...

I've been given the task of refitting our bathroom with new tiles/suite. I've removed some of the old tiles but in some sections its removed the top skim of plaster, but other sections (some 12" x30" oval) its removed all the backing plaster back to the original brick wall. It looks like the...

We are just about to re-do out bathroom and as I am going to have the tiles etc off the wall it would be the perfect time to change all the trim/handle & outlet on our power shower mixer from white to chrome. I'm really struggling to find which model mixer I have (I remember finding it years...

Are the top of cylinders a standard size i.e. it 'should' just be a case of undoing the current valve on the top and replacing it with a S-Flange and then piping down to the pump and funishing with a 22-15 reducer? I'm just not sure there is enough movement in the pipe above the cylinder to...

Not sure the plumbing is to blame for the failure more age as I am pretty sure that the pump is probably 12+ years old. Also find it confusing that you say you need to feed the pump 22m but most of the pumps are supplied with 15mm push-fit for inlet and outlet

Not sure I really want to do that much plumbing so I don't think I am going to manage to get a Surrey Flange in. I'm happy to repipe the part around the pump but not really the rest of it as that would be a major bit of re-working. Below is a picture to show how my current pump (JetForce)...

Thanks for the info. I had just noticed the JetForce which do look like the new version of what I already have. Re-piping is not a problem as its all nicely isolated and happy enoough to do this myself. Looking at the JetForce its hard to see why they justify such a price increase over...

My shower bump has sprung a leak. Its always been quite noisy and can't find much mention of it on the internet so think its quite old so would prefer to replace it rather than attempt to fix it. The markings on the pump are NewTeam KP7155 mrc232dpa352d/r 265w FLA 2.1 Any...

I am looking to replace the mid-position valve on my central heating as its started to fail to close off properly. Unfortunately its one of the older types which are all one unit. I have the new part all ready to fit but finding it slightly tricker than I thought it would be to get the old one...

No 'best' and its far from straight forward either. So many different options for so many different configurations. Google TV is still too new to know how well its going to work. Its not due to the UK till next year at the earliest

We finished our extension around 9 months ago now but recently have noticed something I don't quite understand. It looks like the plaster is being pushed out in places. It always lines up with one of the screw heads. I could understand if it was indented due to the roof falling down or...

Our FF200E fridge has started to not drop in temp. After reading posts on this forum i read about the fozen ICE issue. I took a look and while there is some ICE there is not much. I have gotten rid of it all which hopefully will make it more effective. In the fridge there is a panel at the...

yeah I do. It looks like its moving around when i select the heating but not fully. Would that not working stop the boiler kicking in?

I've got a Glow-worm Fuelsaver 35F boiler (i think) which has started to misbehave every so often. The problem occurs if the heating tries to turn on on its own. Nothing happens. The room thermostat is showing live so its feeding power accordingly but nothing. The gas not turned on either. If...

As I have now finished decking part of my back garden I have to fix the grass that has been a destroyed a bit. To make matters worse there is a slope front to back and also a slight slope right to left which I need to gradually level off where it meets the deck. Below are a couple...
