Hello We have a MIRA Advance electric shower which has worked perfectly since we've had it (several years) until this morning. My OH had his shower just fine, but when I went in after him the shower switched off after a few seconds and both the Water Supply and Reset lights were lit, and...

Thank you for the reply. Re: the plaster - my plasterer fully skimmed the kitchen, hence the pinky plaster in there. He didn't fully skim the bedrooms as they didn't need to be perfect as I was always intending to wallpaper upstairs, so he just used a different sort of plaster in the places...

I have recently had my kitchen walls skimmed (the brown to pink stuff) and my bedroom partially skimmed in certain places only where the original plaster was beginning to crumble (the white stuff). I intend to paint the kitchen walls and tile the splashback. I've just bought a tin of Dulux...

Thank you for your replies. A chap from the water company came out yesterday to look at the main drain at the side of the house and has found tree roots in the pipes so he's ordering camera work to investigate. We showed him the pipe in the foundation wall, and he's said that as a gesture...

That's what we wondered - do you have any ideas - if this were the case - where this pipe would come out?

Hello Please could you shed some light on this ... a week ago we took up a couple of floorboards in our front room to take a look at the gas pipe beneath (to see where it ran). Unfortunately there seemed to be pooling of water in the floor beneath. An Environmental Health officer came...

Hello I'm having a new kitchen fitted and where I'm putting my washing machine used to be where an old, floor standing boiler used to be. That part of the concrete floor is lower than the rest of the floor (a space of about 70cm x 45cm) which needs filling to make it level with the rest of...

I'd be really grateful if someone could give me some advice: I'm redesigning my kitchen and replacing old, shabby, council-installed units with a proper fitted kitchen. In the corner of the kitchen, which is the only place the washing machine can now go, used to be an old freestanding...

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took trouble to give suggestions to my posted question. My electrician came round today and installed my new consumer unit and sorted out my boiler switch (loose wiring, apparently). This forum is so helpful - and I'll no doubt be coming here (a...

It looks like this http://www.floorwarmers.co.uk/ekmps/shops/ufhbiz/images/fused-spur-switch-mk-205-p.jpg except it has BOILER written on instead of underfloor heating. Unfortunately I'm not living at the property yet, and work full time, and don't have internet access at the property, so...

It's a Baxi Condensing Combi 105 HE. I've taken a look at the manual but it doesn't really seem to cover what to do if the electrical supply stops working, other than 'contact your installer'. I had it serviced only a couple of months ago and was told everything was fine. The thing that...

Thank you - though the 'Good luck' has got me worried :wink: Is the pcb fuse the one that's inside the thing that looks a bit like a light switch? Does it need a special kind of fuse only available from a plumbing supplier. Sorry for the numptyness.

Thank you for your response. I've been back to the property this afternoon and all the switches seem to be on at the consumer unit (it's a very old one, which my electrician will be replacing shortly). Everything else is back working again, other than the boiler. I'm clueless - I'm hoping...

Hello I'm not sure if this should be posted here, or in the Electrical section. I've just inherited my parent's property which I'm in the process of doing up. There's a Baxi Combi Condensing boiler which is situated in the airing cupboard on the landing, with the fused spur switch on the...
